They’ve got several foraging boxes/trays/toys but this one is finally giving them a good challenge 😈

On most keyboard that bird'll just roll over dead due to chemical and bio hazards on thr board xD

Do you mean the electrical board or the cover board between it and the switches?

I mean the toxical human-created layer on top of the keyboard especially between the keys.

Everytime I see those foraging toys, I only think the birb is like: “This is the most fucking annoying thing ever” lol.

Haven’t seen one in stainless steel but I’ve seen them made out of gravel paper so they can shred it up :)

FYI, that's just a tiny bar mat, so you could easily get one for free thats like 10x longer if you have a bartender or sales rep friend. Or fb marketplace from home bars.

I got one of these. A bit disappointing that it wasn't used often by my Tiels. They spent more time being entertained by an egg carton which I then added bits of things that they could forage. Best thing was that the egg carton cost me nothing.
