Ollie and I like to play with his Kong Wubba. It's actually a dog toy that you can buy in different sizes. I have the smaller one and I tickle him with it and he attacks it. Sometimes I dangle it with a piece of cord (not to long) and he beats it up. It has a squeeker in the middle and is covered with fabric and has "tails" hanging down. He loves this toy.
I also have another dog toy - intended for small dogs. It's a little fuzzy duck with a velcro opening on the back so you can put a squeeker in there. Ollie loves when I throw Ducky at him. He catches it with his foot or beak and squeeks the he$$ out of it and then throws it on the ground. I pick it up and the game continues.
I've found that the small dog toys in general are great for macaws.

Another favourite activity which actually is foraging fun is hiding nuts or treats in a food dish and then covering with rocks, sea shells from the $ store. Ollie loves throwing the rocks out and sharpening his beak with the shells. sometimes he holds the rock in his foot and bangs the perch before throwing it.


What do you do with your Gabby that she really enjoys?
