HeatherStrella Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Yesterday, I was sitting with Harrison and next to me was a brand new medication tray. You know the ones...they have Sunday thru Saturday on them..they're pop tops and you just put your daily meds/vitamins in the little cup. Well, I thought I'd see if H could pop it open...she did it on the first try. Then I put a treat in it to see if she could get it out..that was a little tougher but she got it out after a few tries. The I held up the tray lifted Wednesdays lid and put the treat in it. I closed the lid then asked her "where is it?" and I kinda moved it closer to her...she got it on the first try...then I set it up for another day she got it on the second try...but the 3rd try, it took 2x to get the third try...not bad, I say. I just thought I'd share my new toy idea. The plastic is pretty flimsy so I wouldn't leaver alone with it...it's something to do together. Heather
M2MM Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Those trays come in opaque and semi-transparent. Which one do you have?
HeatherStrella Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 Purple semi-transparent. Also, I didn't really say but this tray has never had meds or anything in it...so don't worry about poisoning.
HeatherStrella Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 Just so you know, I didn't mean that I hid where I put the treat and then had her guess which one, I showed her which one I dropped it in. I wanted to see if she would understand that if she opened the lid, she'd get a treat.
M2MM Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 The next step would be to put the treat in without showing her and see if she can find it. :evil:
Anmlhggr Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 That's a good idea! I put some treats in an old TV dinner box after Woody destroyed the last one...hoping for him to be able to play some 'foraging' games. thanks!!
danmcq Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Thats a great idea Heather!! Thanks for sharing that. It sounds like Harrison is having fun with the "Whats in compartment #4" Game. :-)
Nychsa Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 How fun Heather! I think I'm going to borrow your idea! Bella isn't interested in store bought parrot toys as much as she is in everything that's mine or doesnt' seem like it's meant for a parrot :laugh:
