How many toys?

[gummi_bear44]

If you've seen my other post you know we'll be bringing our little CAG girl home in just a day or two.
We already have her cage set up but now I'm beginning to wonder if I have enough toys in her cage.
She currently has 5 toys. 3 of which have bells. 2 are made of hard wood, 1 has strands of small vine like loops, the strands are about 24in long and there are about 6 strands. 1 is a hanging bucket full of shredders and foot toys and 1 is a shower curtain ring with a bunch of fleece strips tied to, some of the strips have knots tied in them, some have little plastic toys attached and other were left along.
She also has a swing made of wood and leather with a bell attached to the bottom of it with leather.

I want to make sure she has enough toys to keep her entertained but also have enough room to strectch and flap her wings.

I still want to add an acrylic toy or two that we'll probably pick up this weekend but what do you guys think...
Does she need more?

it sounds like she has plenty. However you will likely want to wait and see how she does, Mango doesn't like many in his cage so he has only 5 toys in but several toys around the outside and on top of his cage.

You may not want to have more than a toy or two at first. . . the move home can be a scary thing for a baby grey. And several greys seem to think that any new thing is going to immediately turn on them and kill them. Babies usually don't have that issue, but sometimes you have to hang the toy next to the cage for weeks before they'll let it enter their sanctuary.

Oh, and my guys have always loved the bells. Be ready for a symphony of bell tones before bed.

also a suggestion for a baby....line the bottom of the cage with towels and paper towels over them for a few days, in the event she is clumbsy and falls.....

Make sure there is nothing on he toys, or the towel, that she can get caught or wound up in to get hurt.

and, she needs a tweedle by Bird Toys by Grey Feather Toy Creations. Parrot Swings, Bird Boings, Bird Toy Parts, Bird Play Gyms, Natural Parrot Food, Stainless Steel Hardware, Oxine, Bulk Toy Parts & More!


all greys need the Tweedle.

Thank you, everyone for your input! It's all greatly appreciated.
Lisa, we were already planning on linging the bottom of the cage with a couple layers of fleece. It should be pretty snag proof.
Also thanks for the link to those toys. Will be ordering from there.
