Haha, no kidding! I don't think I ever did, but when I made the decision to get a lovebird I committed to do it right this time. But, like you said, I am fretting so much over the little guy. He really is a part of the family.
Wow! While I took those pictures and posted a response to 4hand I got so many new and great ideas! This is perfect! I know that my guy will need variety so I look forward to introducing him to:
@ Crazybirdlady,
That leather toy is a nice one! I love how simple and focused it is on the leather. THose that I could find around here were so busy and lacking the chewability that one looks to have. For only 6.49?! Wow, I will buy the medium sized one today! Can't wait for it to arrive!
Thank you!!
@ Birdlady, (not crazy though like the previous :P)
Thanks for adding your vote of confidence in the paper wad toys. As you can see both of you are right. He liked it very much. At the moment he is up on my neck sleeping between my hoody cloth and me. But, he was LOVING the wad earlier.
About toys on the outside of cage, I learned that he was willing to do things out here by the computer with me much faster than on his own. So, he cagetop playpen is now on the computer desk and I am introducing him to his toys that way. The larger in cage toys/perches he is pretty good with. Doesn't spend loads of time in cage so hasn't destroyed them yet in fun, but I think he is more comfortable with those ones.
Will remove the bell if it does keep scaring him, but I am trying to introduce him to the harmless sounds of bells by keeping that foraging toy on a toy with a bell.
Thank you too!
@Royjoy, (Always willing to help me Roy! Thank you!
)
Adding machine tape? Will he ever get a paper cut if he tries to perch on the sides of it hanging down? Do you fasten the roll like we do with toilet paper and let the paper get pulled down? Or Fasten some paper at the top and let the heavy roll part fall to the bottom of cage?
Foraging toys are looking to be
the transitional toy category I was looking for. My wife is getting me a pack of SHREDDABLES today for Sinter Klaas that we celebrated yesterday. I had to work, so we didn't sing and celebrate, but I got her a present.
I will go check your other reply now. (Sometimes late at night while I am at work, I will load birdboard and then get distracted. So the pages of "new Posts" are already considered "old" posts to my user when I get back to logging back in. So, I think that is why I have missed your last two replies.
May have to subscribe to my threads and get notices when replies come in.
THANK YOU and THANK YOU ALL!
Enjoy the pics.
