DIY foraging toys — share your ideas!

My umbrella cockatoo destroys every store-bought toy in an hour. I need cheap DIY ideas that provide at least a few hours of entertainment. What do you make at home? Budget-friendly ideas especially welcome!

There's a great bird supply store in Oshawa that carries exactly what you need. I go there all the time.

How old is your bird? That might explain it — my Senegal parrot went through something similar around 5 years.

My vet in Bloor West Village suggested using a stainless steel cage with proper bar spacing for the species and I noticed a change within the first week. Highly recommend.

This happened to us last winter. I think the shorter days and dry heated air were the cause for my bird.
