My birds would be like, "you want me to play with paper? I don't understand..." none of my four have ever shown any interest. So silly, but I'm glad your birds are enjoying themselves! I love easy diy toys.

What about Aoife? As a female lovebird, that surprises me. How interesting!

I know! I recently put in this straw pouch to forage and still nothing. 20190706_103806.jpg

She loves popsicle sticks, but when they're encased in paper, she's not interested. 20190706_103820.jpg

Cute toy - looks like a little shopping bag :)
How funny she won´t touch it. Maybe just keep moving it around?
In Aldora and Jaimes cage, there was a balsa block on the cage floor rolling around for weeks... all of a sudden the other day, they were bickering over who gets to chew it :lol: Birds do the weirdest things ;)

She's so high maintenance! I will move it in the next few days, she's got so much to chew on in there.

Fortunately, these two aren't interested in just plain paper...as in the book I'm trying to read! Both Buddy and Gussie took it as a personal challenge to destroy a page before I finished reading it. The boys must have a little substance to their paper. They are now working on a paper cup cut in a spiral from rim to bottom, zip tied to a straw. And a stack of cupcake papers cut into daisies and zip tied to a finger trap. These two play with toys more than any bird I have ever had. I wonder if it's their personalities or because they are two together. It's not the first time I've had 2 birds but it is the first time I've had 2 birds who like each other. Maybe it's fitting that my last birds are my first bonded pair, something I've wanted for years!

My birds try to destroy my lab reports... Fortunately not the one I turn in. I have a similar situation with my cat. My previous pair hated each other and my current pair are best friends. It's fun watching animals that like each other interact!

@Leih In my old job, I had to hand write running notes daily, for every child I saw. Buddy, my champion shredding lovebird hen, got hold of several pages, 8 x 11, written on both sides, and turned several inches into long, thin strips, top of the page to the bottom. Instead of rewriting each page, I taped them back together as in a jigsaw puzzle. Fortunately my supervisor had a good sense of humor and let it slide.

So am I! The other supervisor was an obnoxious bean counter who would have been HORRIFIED. At least 10 employees quit over a period of years because of her. I'd have probably quit, too, if she had been my supervisor. But the one I had loved Buddy and her adorable ways. I even had Buddy "sign" (as in nibble the edges of) any birthday or Christmas cards I sent to her. I don't understand bean counters. :think1:
