What's your parrot destroyed?

[Pajarita]

My U2s chewed the sheetrock of a wall and the beams supporting it in a single afternoon because, as I had forgotten to get them a nest, they decided they would just go ahead make one themselves.

Oh God where do I start... My bedsheets, computer chair armrest, my Paco destroyed a friend's book (that was a REALLY embarrasing situation, since he lended it to me), my TV remotes are useless haha, Rita bit off every button when I wasn't looking, she loves them.

Once Rita tore off a 100$ bill.. So I guess she has a taste for money O.o

tv remote, keyboard keys, cell phone buttons, clothing buttons (I don't even see my bird in dress shirts. I go outside around the house to avoid the bird room), and anything else that I pick up or is attached to me. Secretly he'll play with toys, but publicly if he isn't ruining my things, he's sad and bored and never having any fun.

edit: add to the list a 60 dollar model car.

I've only really had one "chewer" my peach fronted conure and even he wasn't so bad as he chewed his toys rather than furniture etc. I did end up with a few small holes in my clothes though.

Ollie doesn't chew as such but he likes to pick at the buttons on remotes if he gets chance, He also removed the rubber stoppers on my laptop. There is one thing he will chew though so we have to keep anything like it well away from him and that is plastic carrier bags or similar thin plastic wrappers

My Protopics book for nursing school he chewed a big corner of it. It is still useable but I do not think the teacher is going to let me use the excuse a bird ate my book. Little hudini got out while we were all done and chewed on it at my desk. He new has a different cage with a locked door for when no one is home.

I've had to replace my cell phone... Also, he chewed six keys off of my laptop, destroyed a remote, just about chewed the tips off of all my shoes with laces, destroyed my best walking shoes, broke one of my favorite nicknacks by pushing it off the table. broke a cup handle...he is famous for pushing cups and pictures in frames off the counter etc. when he wants my attention. I have a wire he destroyed. He has chewed buttons off of jeans while I was wearing them. And, has completely destroyed my large handbag. Obviously some of these things...seem as tho I wan't paying close enough attention.... But, truth is...sometimes I allow him to do what he is doing such as pull the button off my jeans or chew up all my shoe laces... so that he will let me do what i am doing....

Remotes still work if you use the led end of the pencil to push where the buttons used to be.

Rambo did not do it in one afternoon but he chewed a hole in the wall behind the toilet the size of a dinner plate. Who knew you had to protect toilets.

OMG! Good tip about the control buttons. Well, I have had to roll up and stuff plastic bags all underneath my cabinets so he would stop trying to chew at the apartment floor.

I don't know for sure what to use, maybe rolled up sheets or towels, but definitely not plastic bags. The dangers are far too great, in addition to the usual suffocation dangers there is the possibility of them swallowing pieces of them and that lodging in their crop or intestines. Please rethink your use of plastic bags for this purpose.

My brothers $150 headphones. He left the cord on the ground, next thing you know Lilly took a detour on the floor and found the rubber cord.
