exciting packaging

[tka]

We got a delivery of a bottle of something () and it came in this interesting packaging... Obviously the packaging went straight into Leia's cage! It would even make a good foraging toy if I hid food in the honeycombed cardboard.

It's labelled with flexi-hex if anyone wants to try this out.

That´s cool packaging!!
I also got a nice thing as packaging recently, though not as interesting as yours, and put it straight in the toy box

PS, we need to see Leia playing with it

that looks like so much fun! Pippa would love playing with that! (Pippa is my 1st tiel)

Nice @Zara, what did you get? Leia's current project is destroying a carboard box. At least it's cheap to entertain her.

I've just poked some treats that Leia is obsessed with (carrot cake oven fresh bites - they're actually pretty tasty) into the honeycombed bits and she's already gone over to investigate.

Oooh, what did you get?

It was like a sheet of criss cross (poor description lol)

Edit, here's pics,

That is the best free foraging toy ever! I must find some

I bet Leia is going to love that!

@Zara @tka

I also got one of those and a strange looking honeycomb type cardbox thing. Just haven’t figured out what to put in it that won’t just fall out. Any ideas? Thanks

who knew that when we order something for us we also get a free bonus toy surprise!!

How about drizzling on some sort of fruit puree or similar? Maybe honey in small quantities? You could even use it to stick on treats like nuts or banana chips

@Birdie Mama I broke a large bird treat into three and stuffed those into the holes.

@Zara whenever I try to get a photo, Leia notices and comes over to say hello (alternatively, to see if I have any food or to lick the phone case)

I'm not sure exactly what you meant. But I don't recommend putting any liquid food in anything soakable. Don't want the bird to think the cardboard is fruit-flavored and eat it. In my experience it is not wise to put any fresh foods in carboard/paper or anything like that. We don't want a bird to injest non-edible things. Instead, use dry treats like seeds, nuts, pellets, dried fruit, etc.

@Birdie Mama if this is for your lovebird, tuck some millet and sunflower seeds in the gaps. Smash an almond and tuck small pieces in too

But I don't recommend putting any liquid food in anything soakable. Don't want the bird to think the cardboard is fruit-flavored and eat it.

I agree

 

[Zara]

Look what I got!!!!!! Best packaging ever (for little anyway)
It's a metre or more long so I can cut it into 4 so all the birds have one!!!

 

[tka]

That looks fun! What are you going to make with it?

Leia is currently shredding her new toy

 

[Zara]

Just gonna make some tunnels... Though... I don't know that is a good idea with some of my birds. Lapis is brooding an egg in her seed bowl... Adelie laid 2 last week but stopped sitting on the after 2 days.
Gisli will love this!! And Aldora!!

 

[Zara]

Just arrived home... forgot the tube!! They will have to wait another day for it...

 

[tka]

I wonder if there's a bird-safe way to attach paper or card to it... if you can, I'd be inclined to chop it into small sections, attach a paper or card base to each section and then you have little foraging bowls. Punch a hole for some paper rope and you can hang them up.

They would make the nicest nests... But maybe I´ll try make a little swing like that for Gisli

 

[tka]

Haha, I keep forgetting how tiny your guys are! Sorry Zara!

 

[Zara]

I iwll bring the tube home tomorrow, and when I cut it and put it in someones house, I will take a pic for you for reference
