I find Stryder (our
) really enjoys a variety of toys - it just depends on his mood.
I can really tell he enjoys a newly created toy when he talks to it as soon as I put it in the cage
He did this a few days ago when we received a special gift package (belated Santa present), and I put this new toy with finger poppers and beads above his door perch. I could barely get the toy placed, and he was already gabbing away to it. It's always super cute when he does this!
He REALLY loves preening, so I ensure to incorporate a variety of preening materials into each of his toys (sisal, seagrass cord, small bits of raffia) - it seems to keep him happy.
Also toys with bells and fancy bead rings - get him chirping and excited!
It just takes a bit of tweaking in order to determine exactly what your little one will play with, and what he'll ignore - start with a variety, and the process of elimination (and nomination) will help you with this. I do recommend rotating (changing locations and toys) at least once a week - like us, no one likes wearing the same uniform or outfit everyday - variety is best!
This should help alleviate some of his boredom, and in turn, his screaming.
Good luck, and keep us updated!
