bird possessed

I just gave Zoey her first roll of adding tape. Holy Cow! Who knew that such a simple thing could give a creature so much joy. And at $7 for 24 rolls, serious bang for the buck!

Hehehe! We have something similar that sends Bob absolutely wild--it's a stainless steel cage that you can put a t.p. roll inside of--a bigger version of adding tape. It's fun to watch him tearing all that t.p. out and making a mess. He can climb all over the cage thing and hang upside down, sideways, upways or whatever. I never get bored watching him go at it :-). It lasts about 2 days, and we give him a new roll about 1x/wk.

Yes, we use dye and fragrance-free t.p. in the cage :-).

My Jesse loves the adding machine paper. Angel and Seymour play with it some. I hung up one of the nut cages with a roll of toilet paper in it and I couldn't get any of them to pay any attention to it! I couldn't believe it! I thought they would all go crazy over it. So the TP just went back to being TP and not a bird toy.

Ollie also loves her adding machine tape toy! It's so fun to watch her unwind it and shred it! I'll have to try TP...

I haven't tried adding tape yet...I bet Mojo would love it. But lately Rosie has been going through phone books like crazy. In 2 days he has a 1.5" phone book down to small confetti. I REALLY NEED A SHAP VAC!

I gave mine some big pieces of colored wrapping paper and by the time they were all done it looked almost like a work of art
