M'sBabies Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I will be getting my male Timneh at the end of the month and want to get him a Jolly Ball. I'm guessing the 14"? What are everyone's opinions? Are they safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I have one, my cag hates it, my amazon loves it, and my tag sometimes uses it. I have mine hung from the ceiling and a rope perch going thru it to climb in and out of. You just never know if they like something or not. I originally bought it for my cag 4 years ago, she still thinks it will murder her.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I have a jolly ball for my parrots and it sit in the garage. No one likes it, perhaps I will give it another try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Jeez.... I guess I should be glad I don't have one! LOL! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Glad I don't have one either. The closet is already full of things that got the "if I touch it I will die" treatment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Karen we all have that, we buy toys we think they will just love to only find out they are freaked out by the sight of it, too bad we are all separated by such distances or we could have a toy exchange.

Acappella Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 It's true you never know what they will like. One thought. If you're getting a baby they are often more accepting of new things and braver than older birds are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsmomto1 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 after reading this I am glad that I haven't bought one for Storm...He does love his bouncy boings though, he has 1 in the kitchen, 1 above his cage, 1 in the living room and 1 in my bedroom....he loves to make them spin and bounce.

I agree. If you're budgeting, I'd put a boing and a big noisey stainless steel bell ahead of a jolly ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzybird Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Karen we all have that, we buy toys we think they will just love to only find out they are freaked out by the sight of it, too bad we are all separated by such distances or we could have a toy exchange. Great (greyt) idea! I wish we could participate in a monthly toy exchange! Build and send a toy to the next member! That would be too fun, waiting for the mail and a new toy!

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 We COULD do a Christmas exchange! That would be fun! Whomever wanted to participate, set a limit. Of course, I suck at picking out toys.... would get my groomers team to help me. Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Since your TAG is still young, if you got the jolly ball and put it on the floor of his cage in a bowl or something so it wouldn't swing or roll while he is exploring it for the first time it might help him to get acquainted. Put a treat or two inside to entice him, it may be his favorite little hiding place. Later you could move it to different parts of the room for variety. This thread has been a good reminder to check my toy vault for some of the things I bought four years ago. There might be some in that bag of tricks to try again with Gilbert now that he is getting more active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Only one of mine is fearful of the big blue jolly ball the others either ignore it or play by putting things inside it. Whisper like to practice sounds in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikachu Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Okay, I had to google this to see what it looks like. My CAG would definitely be terrified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
