Question Petrie's new homemade toys. What do you think.

these toys were just made, what do you think of them.

this is the new play stand outside his cage. he hasn't used it yet i dont know why. do you think i should add to it or change something around.





now this is a foraging toy i made that i cut off part of a glad tubawear top off and i added a paper towel that can be changed for him to chew through to get to the food inside. at the moment i have it cut so he learns that he has to shred it to get the food. eventually i hope in getting a paper towl with out the cuts and he has to get into it on his own.






This here is a chew toy for him to play with.





what do you think of these toys. any ideas on improvements. im pretty new at making toys. thank you so much for your imput.

Nice job, very creative. Just make sure there are no sharp edges on anything you have to cut and that plastic and wood is bird safe. You did a very nice job setting up a little playground for him.

That was a really good idea.

Aaw, I love the rainbow beaded toy! XD Though, I have a weakness for rainbow toys... lol
The foraging toy's a great idea! ♥

Lots of birds are nervous about new things so that might be the reason he hasn't used the play stand yet. Put some treats that he really, really loves in there and make sure that they're really easy to see. Millet spray is usually a great way to lure a cockatiel into new territory.
