Toy Suggestions for a Lovebird?

[MangoTheLB]

Hello!
I was wondering whether anybody has any recommendations for some toys for a lovebird? Seeing that my bird, Mango has been looking quite bored lately I was wondering whether there are any toys out there that could help entertain such a small bird like her? I've got some ladders and a few mirrors but it seems that she isn't really interested in either but absolutely loves this bell I got recently.
Being that she's a single lovebird and is often in her cage whilst I'm away, I'd want her to be able to find some distractions in the meantime until I'd be able to monitor her whilst she flies around my home. She loves chewing anything he gets her claws on and often loves swinging upside-down on her swing.

Personally, I wouldn’t recommend mirrors for any bird. They don’t realize that the bird in the mirror is themselves and may become overly attached to the bird in the mirror.

That’s one of the sites I use, good prices and quality toys.
Get toys your bird can shred, made from soft wood like balsa and yucca, and harder to destroy toys too.

Oh I see, I didn't know that they could react that way to mirrors. I do often see her talk to her reflection but other than that she's not particularly interested. I'll certainly check out that website. Thank you!

If she is interest in bells I would get a few SS toys. All lovebirds I have had LOVE shredding cork. If you want to make your own toys you can get corks wholesale and plastic and wooden beads and such. Balsa, maghony and sola are other materials they can easily chew. She might also enjoy toys with cardboard and paper.

if she is reluctant to chew, you can try cork perches to start her off.

I was going to recommend lil monsters you simply can't go wrong. I've never had a Lovebird but all my Conures and Linnie have gone nuts for all her toys.

Thank you all for your recommendations and ideas, I'll check them out!

Anything with balsa, yucca or mahogany are great options for the little guys.

Cork perches are like birdy catnip around here!!! Recommend!

A mirror, aside from not being recommended, is a pretty boring toy. And a ladder is just a perch really. The bell is a toy and so your bird is enjoying it more.

Lovebirds love bells, jingly jangly toys, and usually most of all, destructable toys, balsa, sola, pods, cork, paper, dried palm. Stuff they can get into and rip to smithereens.

I buy both toys and parts, and I have a SS skewer that I like to fill on super lazy uncreative days so that the birds are always entertained.

As you have a female lovebird, just keep an eye on the seasons and how she´s acting, and remove any destructable toys that break in strips (paper, dried palm, banana leaf) to avoid nesting and egg laying, stick to things that break into small chunks like cork and sola.
