lovethatgrey Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I elaborate on my parrot blog.. http://mabelserendipity.blogspot.com/2011/12/awesome-parrot-enrichment-blocks.html
Talon Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I like that, I wonder if it would help that ur that my Rikki has with chewing my door tops? I like the way you have many toys hanging together like you do.
Luvparrots Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 These blocks are going to be great for my Louie, the zon!!!! He is a great wood toy chewer and destroys more toys than any parrot should be allowed to destroy! Thanks oodles for this new toy!!!!
lovethatgrey Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 Talon and Luvparrots, do purchase this toy for your parrots when you have a chance. I'm sure neither of you will be disappointed.
kave70 Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Which size would you order for a CAG? The medium? Karen and Sam
lovethatgrey Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 Which size would you order for a CAG? The medium? Karen and Sam I would recommend both the medium and the large. They each have a different level of challenge. The one in the video with my Grey is the medium. The one with my severe is a LARGE. She is much smaller bird than my grey but a voracious wood chewer. I will be using each size interchangeably to add variation.
chelseaB Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Thanks for sharing this! I have given Biscotti the Starbird Brainiac Block which he whittled down to just a solid core. These look very interesting & challenging! Biscotti will be getting a late Christmas present.
lovethatgrey Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 It's ALOT Of toy for such a small price! Stimulating and intriguing for them!! YOu'll be happy knowing that you've purchased a toy that will keep your parrot occupied and interested.
Luvparrots Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Did you make these toys??? I have purchased some for my birdies. Will let you know how they like them.
lovethatgrey Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Of course I did not make these blocks. I'm certainly not handy enough for that. LOL!! I purchased them from here... http://parrotenrichment.com/products.html. The link is also located on my blog where I write a small review. http://mabelserendipity.blogspot.com/2011/12/awesome-parrot-enrichment-blocks.html Edited December 22, 2011 by lovethatgrey
lovethatgrey Posted December 23, 2011 Author Posted December 23, 2011 Did you make these toys??? I have purchased some for my birdies. Will let you know how they like them. Luvparrots, which sizes did you purchase and were they for all three of your parrots?
Luvparrots Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 My Ana Grey isn't much of a toy player. My zon is a wood toy chewer, he is very active and plays with all the toys very roughly. My CAG is a rather large guy and plays some. I purchased 4 of the toys, two large and two medium. I plan to put a large toy in each of Louie, the zon, and my CAG's cages. Ana Grey will get a medium toy as she likes to forage for food. The other medium toy, I will hang in the living room to keep the three busy. That's the plan for now, it may change when I see who likes the toy and who ignores it and will adjust accordingly.
lovethatgrey Posted December 23, 2011 Author Posted December 23, 2011 That's awesome luvparrots! Looking forward to seeing what your parrots think about their new toys!! Do you have a thread re. Sterling so I can read about him? I only remember you having Ana Grey and Sully. Now you have an Amazon too?:eek:
Luvparrots Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Sully has been rehomed. He is an older ekkie that prefers to live as an only parrot. I have given him to a young man who lives next door. Sully is happy and well loved by that family. There are threads throughout the forum about my zon, my cag and my tag. Louie, the zon, in the Amazon Room. Sterling Gris, my CAG, in the nursery, and Ana Grey, TAG, in the Grey Lounge. I am not shy about showing off my little flock!
DawL Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I like these toys a lot! Do you think that the large could withstand the beak of a U2?
lovethatgrey Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Yes! I bet it would offer a GREAT challenge!!
DawL Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 YAY! Looks like I found Barnaby a new toy! Thank you!
Luvparrots Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I purchased these enrichment blocks, two large, two medium (the store included a small one as a bonus/thank you). My zon loves to chomp wood so he has claimed the one on the living room perch. Of course I filled to large holes with peanut butter which he also enjoyed.
lovethatgrey Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 Luvparrots, I was wondering how your idea about sticking the peanut butter in the foraging holes worked out? I am intrigued.
lovethatgrey Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 This is too creative not too share. My buddy Coco took some wonderful photographs of what she did with the foraging blocks.. http://cocosflock.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/truly-fantastic-foraging-blocks/#comments
