I watched the video with Léa close-by - when Truman flew to the ground to retrieve his almond and made the "woo" noise as he landed, that got Léa quite interested; she looked up intently at the screen and made a very similar "woo" noise back at him!

I gotta get one of these. I found one online from NORTHERNPARROTS.COM, but they're in England. I don't know if they'll ship to the US. I've written them an email to ask, but I probably won't hear anything back until Monday. Did the one your purchased have any identifying tags from the manufacturer? Did the store you purchased from have any more?

Nope. It was the last one and no tags. That's why I think I managed a little discount on it.

Do you know any good foraging toys for budgies?

Yep, millet wrapped in tissue paper, and a shallow dish with lots of seedhusks, shredded newspaper and a small amount of seeds.

Is tissue paper safe? Perry has come to believe that everything is edible.

Of course it's safe.. Bark, wood, plastic all fall off in pieces when birds chew on them. They learn it's not food.

White tissue paper? Would the bleach be harmful?
