Get some unwaxed cups (like those little dixie bathroom cups or water cooler cups), drop some pellets or what ever in them and crush them closed - stick through cage bars, inside food cups, or onto ss skewers. Tape a piece of paper over the food dishes (poke holes in the beginning so he can see the food is there). Fresh foods are always a big hit here when they are served on ss skewers. You can also put one of the unwaxed cups on the skewer then food and another cup upside down on the skewer. Larger greens weaved through cage bars. Take a shallow dish, put toy parts or rocks (at crafts stores - I think the ones I get say cleaned river rock or something like that) put them in your dish and then let the bird see you scatter food in with them. There are plastic toy parts I use for foraging. Just let the birds see me pushing food through the holes in them - then they have to chew through the toy to get the treats. You can also get extra food dishes and put them in different places around the cage so they aren't getting all their food form 1 spot. Hope some of those ideas help!
