Scooter's is this:

It's a stock image, we haven't acquired a 'tiel. I have two spares in case it ever somehow gets worn out.

Scotty's is a leather, wood and plastic chew toy which is now just about demolished. It's a 4"ish wooden rod cross-drilled about a half dozen times with leather threaded through the holes and plastic and leather shapes knotted into the thongs. I've tried to reproduce it, to no avail, he likes the ones I make but not as much.

Collectively, the budgies love their circle swing that I got from A Bird Toy. Pigpen is particularly fond of shredder balls and will go through them in a day or two. No Name loves his Curly PomPom and will use it to preen and play tug of war with.

Cheney Bird loves a leather, wooden ball, and rawhide toy that I got. He loves to chew on the leather and the rawhide. He has the same circle swing that the budgies do and is particularly fond of that as well.

All of their toys were gotten from A Bird Toy.

My budgies love anything with bells, too. No Name will flirt with himself in his mirror all day long; he even puffs himself up and tries to preen the mirror! Pigpen isn't quite as interested in the mirror, but will go crazy for bells if they're in something she can shred.

Atm our conures' favorite toys are foraging ones. I made them a piñata the other week, until they chewed a hole in the top and the string fell off... Maybe I'll cable tie it onto the cage. Then I made them little origami water balloons which they enjoy shredding up to get saltana's out of, but today I discovered that Tika especially likes one sultana wrapped up in a piece of paper like a lolly; sultana in the middle with the twists on the sides.
