Thanks very much for the feedback, great to hear. I agree…having birds work for treats is a fine idea. In most cases the promise of a reward keeps them motivated long after they might otherwise have become bored. We carry a number of toys that are based on this principle…each requires birds to use a different technique in extracting its reward, so by rotating among several you can keep your pets well-stimulated. Please take a look at the following by clicking on the toy’s name – as regards your larger birds, the first two are particularly sturdy: <a href="http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/12855/product.web" rel="nofollow">Tough Treat Toys</a> <a href="http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/12852/product.web" rel="nofollow">Nut Mazes</a> <a href="http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/237055/product.web" rel="nofollow">Acrylic Foraging Toy With Spinning Wheel</a> – this one is very unique, should provide a challenge for your birds and laughs for you! <a href="http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/196288/product.web" rel="nofollow">Jungle Joy Bird Toy</a> <a href="http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/12849/product.web" rel="nofollow">Snack n’ Play Interactive Toy</a> <a href="http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/237047/product.web" rel="nofollow"> Acrylic Triangle Treat Holder</a> If you have a chance, please let me know how your various birds react to them.

I like the idea that the birds are working for something instead of just banging a toy around (but they like that also!), what other toys or accessories work on the same general principles, also my larger parrots need something that would take a little more demolition time, thank you.
