kave70 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Sam, who LOVES his foraging toy, but is afraid of any changes, finally played with it this morning, filled with all sorts of toys, before he found his almond. This is his favorite toy, but he has ignored it for more than a week, because I added other stuff to it. Happy Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kave70 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Sam loves it too. He still hasn't touched that pine foraging block in front, but one day........ I love this little scaredy cat! Karen and Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Oh they are the cautious breed, so leery of anything new or any change but with some time he finally came around and now enjoys it, thanks for sharing the pic with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I used to tease my parents about their horses - it seemed like if you just moved a bucket they'd freak out. Now I have the only creature on the earth that is more skittish than a horse. Sigh... Where did you get the pine foraging block? That looks pretty cool...

chelseaB Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah Sam!! I bought Biscotti a really cool foot toy a couple weeks ago & he was really scared of it. I just left it sitting on the counter where he could see it & finally after about 2 weeks he realized it was a fun toy. He is now in the process of destroying it! He also has one of those pine blocks, for some reason he was not scared of that- I pushed whole almonds into the holes so he could work on getting them out. I believe they have this cautious nature their whole life so you always have to introduce new toys ( and perches, feeders etc...) very slowly.

Doug Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks, Judy. The site to which you've referred actually gives the website of the guy that makes them. He sells them at a much lower price (but I don't know how the shipping compares). http://parrotenrichment.com/products.html I'll order one to see how it looks and make one myself. Maybe I'll make a few up for the club... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kave70 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Where did you get the pine foraging block? That looks pretty cool...
