Whether you bought it or made it, post it here and share. What do you hide in foraging toys for your birds? List species and likes and dislikes too!
How do you get your birds to forage?

Difficulties are based on my flock's personal experience. Here are some of mine: Wooden foraging Cup Difficulty: Fairly easy Made from wood blocks from parrot toy making kit.  Clear Foraging Cup Difficulty: Moderate Made from wood blocks from parrot toy making kit and a clear plastic cup (I used a plastic shot glass but larger cups can be used for larger birds)  Veggie Holding Wiffle Ball Difficulty: Easy Made from a large wiffle ball stuffed with veggies.  Wrapped Ice Cube Tray Difficulty: Moderate Made from an ice cube tray wrapped in newspaper with seed, pellets, and dried fruit inside.  |

Rubber ball treat holder buy a dog rubber ball, the ones with the holes in them, or the ones made for parrots on some websites, and use it to stuff treats inside or to hang millet from, or stuff shredders inside this is a fun one! difficulty: easy to moderate comes in different sizes for different birds, be sure bird cant get head stuck in holes!! Hang with rope or plastic chain, or stainless steel chain for large parrots, or buy small size for large parrots to use as a foraging foot toy  |

i picked that one up because they couldnt shred it, they couldnt destroy it quickly and i can recycle the parts if ever destroyed by them. its a toy well worth the money for them lol its meant for a cockatoo LOL i stuff millet and pumpkin seeds inside the cup  |

the only problem is that the birds always take every thing out so i have to put it back in like 3-4 times a day. it would be a good out of the cage toy in a dish, with non nesty birds |
