He likes to poke holes in the bread packaging so I guess he likes soft, chewy plastic. He also likes cork stoppers. Do you guys know any place that has both or sells something that can hold as many cork stoppers as possible so that he can be in heaven-on-Earth gnawing them all day?

I give our guys our empty cardboard boxes from food products only (safe ink) and paper egg cartons. You can make all sorts of toy bits from those. I don't know if the plastic would be safe? I load the cardboard and random beads & leftover toy parts onto stainless steel skewers. It's easier to thread than chain & you don't have to make such big holes. :) You can use chunks of safe foods to shred, too.

If a bird loves cork, this has to be a winner lol

I don´t think my birds have ever had cork... I´m trying to think..

Does Seriously Nutz sell a cork only Smorgasbord? Boon Rod doesn’t like foraging (put treats in toys...toys got obliterated but treats remained untouched). He likes to shred and destroy.

Bird Kabobs are a type of toy, made of soft woods on a twine string. Most birds love to destroy them, and it sounds like Boon Rod would like them.
