Only the caiques and Rudy are adventurous enough, but Rudy is not food motivated....after they see these around for a while, the others may go for it!

Just made one! As soon as I read the post. I have been in a toy making rut lately so this was the perfect idea to try quickly. Ill try it on Ravi in the morning.

Thank you Saroj! And Lara Joseph

Hope Ravi likes it, Holly! All the apples and carrots I poked in were taken out and eaten, especially the apples! I could try zucchini too but they won't eat it!

Hmm, maybe you need to throw in some toothpicks and wooden veggies instead, then.

one thing he'll forage for is a nice cashew poked on the straw! I'll try it tomorrow, Sadie
