shredding toys

well not exactly toys,but jasper likes nothing more than to sit with an old envelope (i tear off the sticky bit) and shred it to pieces

i've bought him one of those algave? wooden chewy toys for his birthday so i'm hoping he'll take to that to give him a change

Hi Jules
I hope you didn't get him the tool set otherwise he will be pulling his perch to bits lol

well the airing cupboards just about in bits i seriously need to distract him away from there or there'll be no shelf left. he's already taken over a kitchen drawer and the top shelf of the cupboard

Elvis LOVES LOVES LOVES envelopes! He'll sit and wait for me to open mail, then I'll hand him take away menus, envelopes and other things while asking him to "file this for me, sweetie!" he'll shove bits inside other bits, then rip them all to tiny shreds lol

Blacksheep.
Rubert lives in a box at the bottom of his cage, I use a beer box (great excuse for buying beer) but any box will do.

he hides in there and takes food in there and then a couple of days later and it's more beer. ooops sorry, sorry I meant a new box as he has wecked the other one

lol!! I'll have to find a box for him, I don't drink beer but I spend a lot of time on eBay, that should result in a few boxes being sent to us lol!

jasper is just the same regarding envelopes. he just knows when the postman has been,he cant wait for them to shred up

awesome! I put toys in them sometimes and give them to him as Shut-Up-Gifts

that's a good idea,i'll have to try that tomorrow i we get any post. hopefully jasper will think he has a new toy

I wrap cereal and toys in newspaper sometimes too, gives him something to do lol. Sometimes I lay out a sheet of news paper, then scatter seeds and nuts all over it, roll it up carefully then twist over and over until its very tight, then give it to him, so every layer he gets off there is nummy things as a reward. He tends to untwist, shake and eat LOL

i did try with treats once,i put his favourite almonds in news paper. he didn't touch them,he left them for days,i don't think he got the idea of what to do

lol aww! I got the idea over christmas, he wanted to help unwrap everything of mine, so I wrapped all his stuff LOL

Have you tried weaving strips of paper through the cage bars?



there was more - but he's already shredded them and tossed them on the floor LMAO Takes about 10 minutes of work, he's helped me weave them (well read as ate most of them LOL) so it can take longer depending on the amount of 'help' received, they'll stay up for about three days, and you get the extra fun of hoovering tiny paper shreds every day, but I already have to hoover a metric ton of parrot food so life goes on

i've not tried with paper but he did have some of that woven palm leaf,i threaded that through. i cant remembe rnow what he did with it tbh,i ought to buy some more and see.

good excuse if there ever was one
