Foot Toys Irresistable

Here you see Apollo busying himself with a delightful foot toy. Foot toys offer lots of interesting play, however, many people don't bother with them because they eventually get dropped to the floor.

One way to make life simpler is to use an empty bowl for the collection place. You might use either one of the regular food ports or, even better, a Smart Crock or other attachable bowl. Put it up where the bird likes to roost.

When you clean the cage, you'll have an easy spot to put the items that aren't soiled. (Those go in the dishwasher.) Plastic bottle caps, wine corks, toy parts, etc. can be a fun enrichment for a bored bird. If you have a little more time, wrap them inside a twist of paper to allow your parrot to unwrap and discover the goodie inside. An occasional nut keeps it intriguing.
