New Foraging Cup

Hi i have been trying out a few ideas on how to make a succesfull foraging cup, finally i created one and would like to share it with you all, the little hat thing on top is removable but can also be used to hold sunflower seeds the cup itself is great for nutriberries, it slightly slants to the side allowing your fid to reach in and grab its treat with ease, i will be selling these on my ebay store aswell im thinking around 7 bucks, if you have any questions or comments feel free to let me know, Thankx for reading

Thanks!...I use them for my friends parrotlet and alexandrine and Bacon (my sun conure) has one in her cage too, but i would say for parrotlets through medium sized birds would be great im working on a bigger version for our bigger birds.

This is a great idea. You made a nice foraging toy.
I just want to ask you something. Can a fid reach the bottom of the cup easily? For example a small conure?

Parrots are animals that have been removed from everything they instinctually know and go on to live in our world.

Parrots are flock animals; a human being can never replace a bird-companion.
