Realize I'm a self-professed "Toy Freak" with my Parrots when you see my CAG pics. My two favorite on-line stores are Busybeaks.com & GreyFeatherToys.com. Alot of my other toys come from my local bird store..

I have to agree that you are a toy freak. Thats alot of neat toys you have. What does your grey like the best??? I got a few toys clearance the other day and have them in the toy drawer for safe keeping away from my U2 and quaker. I have some others for him that I have made. Lots of spreening and shreading toys.

My CAG likes pretty much anything he can destroy or figure out. He likes shredder toys, but not wood so much. All of his wooden toys pretty much look like new, although there are a couple that he has attacked :) Echo loves bells; one of his favorite things to do is swing from them and bat them around, making them jingle.

I seriously recommend getting 'puzzle' toys. Ones that they have to figure out to get the reward. Foraging toys are a good investment too. Swings and rope perches are great. Mine loves him rope perches and boings. They provide great footing as well. A great place to go is bird fairs. They have lots of different toys fro great prices. You cna also make your own toys, which I think Echo loves the most!

My CAG is a shredaholic and a bit wood crazed so his favorite toy is the Tiki Toy (GreyFeatherToys.com) in the first pic which I refill myself & hide nut treats in it. His other favorite is the musical toy you see him activating in the last pic - beware you will listen to the nursery rhyme a thousand times once they figure it out. Another, favorite is the cashier tape roller toy which he likes to unravel in the old frat boy tradition of toilet papering. The last must have for my CAG is a good supply of plastic wiffle balls in all different sizes. I order those in bulk to stave off the "wiffle" beast that lurks within him...(lol).

My favorite is the green parrot hanging in the middle pic since it's a quickly refills with ordinary papers ie white pages.

Echo's Favorite toys

My CAG's ( Echo) favorite toys are :

Green rubber ball with bell
Silver twirly toy with rubber rings, plastic pieces and bell
Wood abacus toy
Shredding coconut with leaves
Tire swing with plastic pieces
Preening rope with rubber pieces
Puzzle toy with leather pieces he can pull out of different shaped holes
Bucket with talon toys, plastic and wood
Wiffle balls
Corn cob with wood blocks and bell

I recently discoverd Greyfeathertoys.com and the Spoonover toy. My bird loves that toy and he went to it within 2 minutes of me hanging it up! They also had great small talon toys he can pick it up.
