Thanks for any advice P.S do those cloth bird seed catchers work?

They also like boings, and rope perches. You should have one dish dedicated for water, one for his dry seed mix and one for fresh foods. :)

Here's a toy in particular that ours love to shred and destroy Posted Image I think they're called a Birdie Kabob They also like swings and look absolutely darling when swinging!! :D I think the seed catchers help keep some seed off the floor if they're fed low in the cage, but if their bowls are up high the food will still end up everywhere! They are good at flinging food, especially soft foods! :)
