A bird tree that is great for foraging

I have been wanting to get Pugsley a grapewood bird tree for a while. But up to a couple of months ago, he was still pretty clumsy - partly from still being a baby, and partly from his nails being too long. It made it hard for him to grip properly, and he was falling and slipping off things. Now that he has been keeping his nails short, things have improved immensely so I went and ordered this tree. Only $40 on Etsy (BloomsNBranches). I am very pleased with it. And Pugsley is one happy bird! He almost lost his little birdie mind when he first saw it! lol He was so excited. He loves to climb all over it looking for yummies. The branches have little openings and places to stash treats. I heard that birds in the wild spend 70% of their day foraging, and our pet birds spend 5% or less. So not only is this a great place for Pugsley to perch, climb and land, it is also helping to satisfy his natural instinct to forage for food. Just thought I would share this with you guys in case anyone is looking for a bird tree. Every bird is different, of course, so just because my bird loves this, does not means yours will. But most of the reviews indicated their birds loved them. P.S. I will be adding a few toys to it eventually. :)

Pickle and Penny have one of those from the same shop! It took them months to trust it, though. :LOL: I wrap parts of it in that palm leaf Shredders stuff & they go nuts on it.

What a cutie!!

I love those palm shredders! They sure come in handy at times!(y) Glad your were able to figure out how to get your girls to use their tree, and that they are getting fun out of it! It's all about making them happy, isn't it? :)

It really is all about making them happy! I’m always getting packages with toys and supplies and my husband is like, “Gosh! You sure do spend a lot on your birds!” 😅 But I love them so much how can I not??

How funny! I get told the very same thing at times! LOL Yeah, yeah, whatever! :rolleyes: Some things are worth spending money on, and our little guys are definitely worth it! By the way, I have an order from Bonka arriving next week. Hee! Hee! :)

Another toy I got from Etsy. This is training him to go inside. Oh, the power of hemp seeds!
