My favorite toy
this one fairly large

Mysterious maze

you will need
.3-4 medium sized boxes
. tape
. treats
. sissors
.cardboard

tape the boxes together in any shape you want. cut out a starting point and a ending point. use the cardboard to make rooms like a house. but some rooms are dead end and some lead to the next room in the next box. put treats in some rooms. when your bird has found away out of the maze at the end will be lots of treats. make sure the top of the box is facing upwards so you can see what he/she is doing. My cockatiel Bob loves this it is his favorite. :blinking:

This might be OK for a cockatiel but you can't use tape with parrots.

No, my dear, it's not the ripping it out, it's the chewing of something with glue on it.

Then if you knew it, why did you post it? It's not right to give the wrong advice, joke or no joke... people might follow it and birds could be hurt in the process.
