My tiels aren't too big on toys either. They are more likely to play with things if I play with them and the toys outside of the cage for a few days before putting them in the cage. Kinda like kids...always getting into things they shouldn't. I made a lot of simple foraging toys for my tiels to get them to start playing. I take a small piece of paper and put a treat in it. At first I left some of the paper open so they would realize there was food inside, then I closed it up all the way. They love destroying things for their treats. I also take the paper and hide or tie it to some of their toys. They play with the toys a lot more now. Also, rip paper into strips and then try giving it to him. Puzzle pieces are a HUGE hit with my birds also. And cardboard of any kind. Rope is a good one too. Sophie loves to try and untie knots and doesn't seem to care that she never does get it. You can buy cheap little straw hats at any craft store, Zeke will spend hours tearing into his. To be honest, my birds play with the cheap/free stuff more than they do the toys I buy.
