Thanks guys! I have foraging toys but he doesnt seem interested in them ... I wonder why??

So Kino is now 5 months old and already starting to talk! He is sooooooo messy when he eats though! He throws everything around! Will that ever stop? We heard that teflon is not good for humans and especially my Kino! What are good alternatives? I have all teflon and I need to get rid of it! I bought Kino a bunch of different foraging toys ... the 6" wheel .. a push and pull ... something that he has to spin .. stuff like that ... But he doesnt want anything to do with them ... is he still too young? I might have to start work in a month or so will he be ok in his cage for 6-8 hours? I feel bad and one more question I bought him some beets ... but how do you cook them? I appreciate your help! Thank you

So, Im looking to get Kino (Baby CAG) some foraging toys. He really likes when I hide some food in his other toys but thats not the purpose of those toys so Im looking to get some for that exact purpose. Does anyone know where I can get some of those toys for a good price? Im always skeptical about getting things online so a place that is reliable as well. Thanks

Thank you so much for all the helpful advice Dave. I will defiantly do as you say considering all the folks saying how wonderful your advice is. My baby's name is Kokino it means red in Greek. No I'm not Greek I just like the word for a name Anyways, the place that I got the bird from was feeding him the KayTee Exact formula and thats what I bought from them to continue to feed him. But he wont take it. From the very first day I got him he wouldn't take it from me. So with the veggies should I cook them? Do I just give them to him cut up or should i mass it up maybe? At this point Im trying to get him to like the shower or a bath and he doesn't like it very much he always flies away. Im also trying to get him to stop biting me. He steps up and wants to be with me and makes all these little noises but he bites sometimes its just a nibble other times its a bite bite.

HI! I just got my new baby grey about a week ago. The place told me that he was still hand feeing twice a day. So I bought all the stuff I needed and when I got him home he didnt want to eat the formula. So I kept trying for 4 days to get him to eat. He wouldnt take the formula from me at all. I took him to the vet for his well check and everything looks good except he lost about 30-40 grams. As of right now hes eating lots of fruits and veggies, especially blueberries, apples, grapes, butternut squash, and sweet potato. He eats all kinds of nuts but not too many seeds. I also am trying to get him to eat his pellets but thats a hit or miss. The other thing I don't see him doing is drinking water too much. Im worried because he was taking the formula from the lady at the store but doesnt want it from me, so I stopped trying and am just letting him eat what he wants. Hes 4 months old I was told. Am I doing things right?
