We have had popcorn parties at ********** for the last 4 years. I fill the bottom of a toddler wading pool with popped corn (about 2" deep) and add some small toddler toys (McDonald, Burger King, etc) and peanuts and mix it all up. Simply insert birds and watch the fun.

I find that the macaws delight in pulverizing it and rolling around in the stuff. I lost our kiddie pool this winter to snow damage and need to get them a new one. Still, buy the cheapest popcorn you can find, and simply add about 1/2 cup to 2 doubled-up lunchbags. You can add a little olive oil, but its not necessary.

It takes a lot of corn to fill a kiddie pool, so plan on using a whole bag. When they are done, simply throw it out to the wild birds and vacuum up the debris.
