Cheney Bird plays with everything.. except his toys.

Forget buying him toys. He'll play with the remote, a cable.. everything except his toys.

:lol: The cable was good as a perch, Cheney Bird seemed have fun on it!

Phone, remote controls, keyboard, mouse with wire are the best of Chico toys so far too and my parrots decoration is already "artistic touched" by Chico.
Toys? What toys? They're too cheap to buy me bird toys ;)

Cheney Bird hears the phone ring and he rushes toward it. I can't hold him and be on the phone at the same time for fear of having my chin, lips, nose or ears bitten.

I don't mind him on the cable so much as I mind him on the computer wires. He doesn't chew the cable, but chews on the wires for some reason.

hahaha i know that feeling, i just set up lorenzos new cage with everything i would think makes it the best cage i could provide for him.toys in all shapes and sizes...does he bother to play with one while theres a perfectly good tv screen and laptop to perch on, important documents to rip up, phones and remotes and necklaces to poke....lol. only some things if i hold it for him and he gets to sit in my hand will he attempt to nibble them. i think the only toy lorenzo is interested in (that belongs to him) is his babble ball, hes taken quite a fancy to the fact that it gives him attention back when im ignoring him. and he can attack it all he likes.

If I'm not paying attention to Cheney Bird, he flies to the ground and waddles over to me. There's no escaping my little green monster. ;)

Anything dangerous, important, or has any sentimental value to you, all make the best toys.

My boyfriend got me a platinum posey ring and bracelet years ago and Cheney Bird loves to try and gnaw on them. He also seems to enjoy tearing apart my electric bill.

A lot of similarities: I had to stop wearing my engagement ring because of Chico and my boyfriend doesn't mind(he is the one who will spoil her) ;)
Chico also loves, when I rub her beak as your bird and as Einstein - I'm very fast becoming happy- bird slave :lol:
About the electric bill, maybe Cheney Bird knows what he is doing :lol:
