foraging videos

Postby Giantmoa » Mon Jan 17, 2011 6:49 pm

here are a few videos of rainbow at work looking for her pellets or treats :) she isn't as good at it as the amazon I know who gets excited when she sees me with a box since she knows I hide treats for her, but we're working on it!


I'll this more difficult as time goes on with more layers and crumpled paper inside. I have far too much fun with this stuff... :)

In hindsight these drawers are pretty big for my small bird but she manages to work them. I usually stick to slices of veggies and fruits in here since I can wash it out

this is where I feed my main pellet diet at the moment. I'm hoping she'll start ripping it up to get to the center. there used to be shredded newspaper as well but she pulled it out

and finally I took advantage of Jesse's idea to put fruit inside of a bellpepper, only I used a jalepeno
