Favorite toys

[Math Bird]

What are your budgies favorite toys? I’ve heard bells, rings and swings are good. Or should I just buy a million and go buy a million more of the ones that they like? Thanks in advance!

My 2 budgies love soft balsa -especially the cubes over the rectangular pieces - I don't know why it makes a difference and mahogany pod slices - I put them on a small skewer. They also like palm items - I have a small palm fan in their cage they like chewing on. They like the small bell toys from Avian Stainless. I am new to budgies - so I am still discovering what they like. They like their swings also.

Mine love love the soft balsa too! They adore twine and any thin branches they can sit on and chew at the same time. We are using cured California Sycamore branches as their perches and they love it! Mine also love swings like crazy!

Mine seems to really enjoy a little bell on a purple plastic spring. He ferociously shakes it, also loves sitting on a branch with the bark on it and chewing the bark off. His favorite thing though? His food dish!!

My customers' budgies love balsa and yucca, as well as vine, little charms and beads, and cane twists, grasses like seagrass, etc. Take a look at my shop for inspiration! Bird toys for small parrots cockatiels by LilMonstersBirdToys

My budgies adore the small mirrored ball. The female sleeps with her head resting on it at bedtime with the male close beside her. They don't bother with it at playtime. I think this toy is a security for them.

So it seems like a lot of budgies like softer, easily shreddable materials. Mine also love vine, palm leaf (they love planet pleasure toys), and soft woods. They love bird kabobs. If it's too big or hard for them to destroy, they get bored of it. Mine love anything with crinkle paper and they also have this weird fascination with small chains.

I had a problem getting toys small enough for my parrotlets and budgies. I did bring in a haul from Lil Monsters and it was fantastic! They are all small enough to put little seeds in and nutriberries and avicakes. I make mine work for those. I give fruit, veggies and roundybush crumble. The other stuff, they have to find it. They absolutely love love foraging. They are never bored when I walk in, I can tell they've hit everything kind of hard.

I've already had to make a new order with Lil Monsters as they've gone through some of them already! Even though they've gone through the toys, they keep going back again again, just to play with it. It occupies their time and they love all the foraging. Not just the playing.

My birds love anything with a bell on it.

And honestly, another favourite is the easiest thing on the planet. A scrunched up ball of newspaper....LOL. they love to shred those up, and it's even better when you tuck little treats into it for them to forage for.

Chirp likes twirling crinkle shred in his beak, and he loves tiny bells. He nibbles at balsa every now and then. He loves chewing on seagrass mats. His most favorite thing is chewing on the ends of plastic string (like this MakeYourOwnBirdToys.com - Plastic String Rolls) He'll come down from the top of his cage all the way to the floor just to chew on the ends. He's a very picky boy!
