@Macawnutz sent Ripley a toy. A toy meant to challenge him - nay, defeat him - to see what his limits are on Beaverhood.

Ripley says "challenge accepted"! Will he destroy this toy meant for birds far larger than himself? Will it prove to be too much? Stay tuned!

OMG he just can't take a bad picture can he? OH I want to scritch his little orange head!!!

Well, we certainly don't want him to throw in the towel! It's birch, bit tougher than pine but still cut against the grain. Hid lots of soft chewy's in there in case it tries to whip his tail feathers. :laugh:
He should have fun pulling the paper bark off for a few days, I made sure to use the thick bark pieces. :xflove:

His look is a little overwhelmed mixed with back up I got this:)
Also part "I wonder if there are almonds in here?" As I use them for photo bribes all the time :lol:

I put the toy in his Chew Zone (aka bottom of his playstand) and he's being really secretive about what he's doing :lol: Every time I try to peek at what he's chipping at he tells me to go away :rofl: I'll try to remember to check tonight when he's in bed.

My vote is on Ripley. He is a poicephalis. They are big time chewers.

Maybe he is checking out the weird paper bark. It has a funny feel to it. He wouldn't know as we sanded your custom perch. :laugh:

It'll take him a while, which is good! He's gone through giant toys in 48 hours before lol
