Conner...I also give Conner a lot of smaller boxes. Conner likes to chew the edges. They're even more popular than the "toys"!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625315968391918427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036593475685541537.post-58519290365349259212009-07-07T15:10:05.388-07:002009-07-07T15:10:05.388-07:00Picky, picky tiels.

In the beginning, if the toy was not in the right place, of the right material, the right size, etc., they did not touch it. Now, I hardly notice it anymore. The toys they used to like, they will now "travel" to destroy, and they will also lower themselves enough to play hard even with formerly disdained toys. I can't say if all birds, or even all tiels are like this, I might have just gotten lucky!<br /><br />On the subject of boxes, though, they are verrryy popular here. Of course, as you say, I am extremely careful giving them to females, so I either cut the boxes open, or just use smaller boxes. My tiel pair are quite happy to tear up a small cracker box on top of their cage, and I never have to worry about stimulating Miss Patty, since she can't get in it!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295001210939902600noreply@blogger.com
