Where to find trick training toys

[Zophar]

Hey guys,

So I've decided after almost a year of owning my cute little Sun Conure, Lola, I want to try to teach her some tricks. I've looked at a couple websites, but the ones I've seen that sell bird toys don't have much of a selection. What do you guys think are some of the best websites for purchasing bird trick-training toys? Things like basketball hoops/skateboards/scooters/mini golf course... I've seen the craziest things on youtube, hehe.

Any ideas?

I've gotten a few things at these places:
Nature Chest
Chirp n Squawk Bird Supplies

There are a few more sites I don't remember of the top of my head. I'll do some research. The problem I've found is that no one site will have a great selection; you need to visit a few. And it's hard to find props that are an appropriate size for a sun conure. Most props are designed for larger birds.

The best method is to think creatively and create your own props out of other types of items. I found a little children's piggybank for example and turned that into a prop. There are some other examples of props here: Best in Flock - Blog About My Conure Parrot

I just came across parrotprops.net and they seem to have quite a few as well.

Wow, those are some really cool advanced props I've never seen outside of shows. (But I clicked on the bicycle and got a bit of sticker shock.)

Brad, I hope you update us often on your progress with clicker training!

Holy Cow! Did you see the price of the bicycle? It cost more than MY bicycle.

Phew!

Thanks for the sites guys! I bought a few things based on your replies... not the bicycle though. :)
