Toys for a cage biter

My new budgie loves biting her cage. She is a mega chewer and when I got her, she mainly had plastic toys and wooden dowels in the cage. I've since given her natural wood perches, a pedicure perch, wooden toys, paper toys and a mineral block. She's chewing all those but when she gets bored, she goes back to chewing her cage! Any ideas how I can divert her attention? I'm concerned about her stripping paint off the cage.

Is there a specific area that she targets? If so, consider a sidemount toy that blocks it:

You could also try some safe metal toys:

Great suggestions! She does target a couple places. I think putting a stainless steel toy there will help. Thanks :)

My budgie Mark does this too.
