... 1 egg - part 2

[birdhouse]

Bulk wood parts, recycled pony beads, an interesting set of measuring spoons & a new bell ! (w/a beautiful sound!!) skewered onto one side of a replaceable perch swing.

 

This sat in the place where I introduce Phenix to new toys for 3 weeks. It got a "Seriously... NO blankety blank blank way!!!" reception because of the spoons & never went in his cage. :mad:

 

Used to be that I'd have taken my failures apart & gone back to the drawing board. Now, fortunately, Kura is quite happy to accept 99% of Phenix' rejects. She likes the way the spoons spin around & how pistachio nuts magically appear in them, sometimes.

Very clever!! I'm glad that at least one of them appreciates your efforts!

Thanks. I find interesting things all the time. But Phenix isn't going to have any of it most of the time. I really thought the spoons would be ok on a simple wood toy with a new bell thrown in. He loves bells.

 

It's a real challenge to keep him active. But using a little effort & very little expense I can keep trying, Phenix can keep rejecting & Kura keeps lucking out.
