Bored birds post lockdown

Hi everyone!

Just a quick one;

Ever since I started back at work after the lockdown, my birds have been in the cage a lot more than usual, of course.
I am away for the majority of days and they usually see me appear around 7PM.
Now I have CCTV for their cages and spy on them throughout the day, they literally don't do anything until I get home and it's so sad!
They have all the toys their hearts could ever desire, I always leave on some content on a laptop and make sure they can see out of the window (looking out the window is their all time favourite).

What are other people here doing to keep their birds mentally and physically active when you're at work?
They're not really toy players, I try to get them interested in them as much as I can but when I leave the house they just sit/sleep all day :(.

Would love to hear what other people do!

Foraging :)

But really I think that's pretty normal to chill out and be pretty low key when we are away!

I think getting them new toys and things to explore could help, too, or even rearranging the cage a bit so it feels new

Thanks so much!

It's been a while since I rearranged their cage so I'll try that!
Some new toys on the way too :D.

It's been ridiculously warm here as well which doesn't help..
Can't wait for the rain!
