Shreddable toys. Birds are meant to destroy various material in the wild to wear down their beaks. Try "Bird Kabob" from a local petstore.

GlassOnion is right. They don't tear thing up and throw them on the floor just to keep yoy busy, though sometimes you would think so. They really have a need to do it.
