@coral, go to a dollar store and you can find packs of uncolored Popsicle sticks for under $2.

@entranced i live in ohio so i think our trees produce different things :D
you could probably get some at a craft store? or maybe off a bird website?
@glassonion me and kaylayuh were talking about her bird liking a popsicel stick toy so we were talking about where to get them she lives in canada so im not sure where she would buy them there but on bluesbirdtoys.com they have 75 i think for 75 cents :) theres a bunch of different stuff on there you should check it out there prices are reasonable :D

Congratulations on the playing!

Sometimes it just takes time, and one day your fid realizes that toys are fun and keep them busy :D.

Definitely have some toys for outside the cage too in order to save your furniture!

Just put a towel between your cage and the dresser.
Also, when you get a new toy, make a big fuss playing with it, oohing and ahhing but don't let the bird touch it yet, go on for no longer than a minute and watch your bird just about go nuts wanting to have it.
