oh yea, she pecks at them, pulls and tugs on them, she likes her little bells, shes always messing with them, i think she likes the noise, lol. she cant chew on them like a parrot can, but she does make good use of her toys :) for some reason, she just pecks and pecks at the bungee thats in her cage, its like a Sweetpea Vs. Bungee, haha, its pretty entertaining. when i get a good vid of her with the toys ill post it :)

shes about 5mo old right now, just a baby. shes parent reared though, so we have to work with her to tame her. my plan is to bribe her with grapes. she loves those things!! i do let her out of her cage for a little while in the afternoon, and i get her to go back in the cage on her own by showing her a couple of grapes and putting them in her food bowl. she goes right in, but we have to be really quick about shutting the door, or she flies back out.

she has a very special diet, she eats banana, cooked sweet potatoe, grapes, papaya, blueberries and soaked softbill pellets, which she doesnt really eat anyway, she hates the new brand of pellets. she can eat NO citrus fruits, but she can eat fruits like apple, strawberries, rasberries, but just a little bit each day.
