parrot tube

hey here's a bird toy idea =) my dad had one of those post-office tube things and drilled some holes in the top creating a new, um, toy for my gcc. She absolutely loves running back and forth through the tube and sticking her head out of the top. Of course I have no idea how other birds/species would react to it but it was a success for me. Also it may not be a good idea for hormonal birds?

here are some photos so you can see what it looks like...

Good idea and she looks so cute with her little head popping out of the hole!

I might just have to do that! I've worked at movie theaters for 4 years, so my poster collection is swelling and I have plenty of poster tubes like that! Thanks for sharing your idea. :)
