Janfromboone Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I don't know if others have thought of this so I thought I share with you how much Tobie is enjoying his new toys from walmarts enfant department. He has a new rattle toy and another one that he can spin this clear cylinder that is full of beads. The one with the spinning bead cylinder also has a toy piano that if you push the keys it plays a tune and the minor cords flash. I also bought him a toy guitar that I mounted on the side of the cage and he can push buttons - one two or three ( they are numbered ) and they are different colors. If he pushes one the voice sais "one" . If you push it twice it sais blue and the third time it plays a tune. The rattles are $4.00 and the guitar was $8.00. He plays endlessly with these new toys. Sometimes he just carries the rattles to the top of the cage to drop them and other times he is pushing buttons and bobbing his head with the music. He figured out before I did that the cylinder would spin.. He does it with his foot. So funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzie Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Try as I might, I cannot find any baby rattles that are even semi-parrot proof. I've looked here in New Zealand, and even in the Netherlands recently when I was on holiday there. I might have to whip out the credit card and do some net surfing. Cleo loves any kind of toy with a bell or rattle in it, and spends hours at a time playing with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdnut Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Yep! I have bought a number of carefully chosen baby toys for Moussa (and the others). Not only are they some fun toys, but they're considerably less expensive than comparable parrot toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseaB Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I too have purchased baby toys for Biscotti & he usually loves them. I only give them to him when I can supervise. He tires of things quickly, so I just put them away for awhile and then bring them out again in a month or so. Great fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzie Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Birdnut, what other sort of baby toys have you bought? I am trying to imagine Cleo with a little piano, but all I see is her ripping the keys off with vigour.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 My guys like baby toys, too. Phenix fav used to be clear balls with spinning butterflies inside. That's how he started playing hockey on the floor of his cage. Still one of his favorite past times, but I usually give him cat balls, now. Can't find his "flutter" balls anymore.

Janfromboone Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 So far so good. Tobie has had these toys in his cage for three weeks now and he beats the heck out of them. They are still in one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
