New cheap toy discovery!

Young coconuts!!!!!!

After I cut the top, drain the water and scoop out most of the meat, I give Mo, I give the shell and cap to MO, he eats the meat fromt he cap and then goes to town on the shell!!!, pulling ALL the fiber off takes a few days and is NEVER boring as far as he's concerned,......

The last coconut toy I bought cost me 22$$$$$$ it was a whole partly stripped coconut with awhole in it to stuff goodies ona chain.... these things cost me 6$ for 3 of them, AND I get to eat it too!!!!

Can't beat that deal!

I also bought a few cheap dish pans at the $ store, and have discovered it's a great way to feed fresh fruit, MO sits on the edge and tears it apart, MAYBE even eats a little bit, but most of the mess..Ok...Ok.. about 2/3rds of the mess are kept in the bin!!!!!

this was GREAT for a big slice of canteloupe this morning!


Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how about a macaroni box with the celophane insert in the bottom front that allows you to see the product your buying?

after i took off the flaps and removed the celophane i gave it to my love bird. omg did she love it.

she could go all the way into the box and pop her head out where the celophane was. she attacked it and moved it all over the cage and picked it up an dropped it. played hide n seek . she loved it.

actually anybox that is wide enough for her to walk into will work. i just need to cut out a place where she can pop out her head.

i think it was more enertaining for me to watch her fun that the fun she had. hehehe.



time for her to get a new one.

The coconuts is an awesome idea!! Oliver (parrotlet) loves toilet paper rolls that I stick paper in. Neko likes foraging toys and shredding toys. I LOVE that coconut idea, I have to try it!!

Ha Ha, I would try it too, coconuts are plentiful here, but the last time I put 1/2 coconut shell in Jasper's cage he freaked out and did everything he could to avoid going near it for 3 days. I finally removed it...for some reason it terrified him. He could care less about the cat though...go figure.
