Petey destroys a Parrot Pinata Octopus

Petey the Sun Conure destroys a Parrot Pinata Octopus
It was overpriced, especially for something that a bird will shred up in a single fit of rage, but I read (sounds a bit sketchy though without any details, I want numbers, how much do they villagers get of my money?) the back of the tag: "Planet Pleasures takes pride in offering you a unique line of products that are all natural and earth friendly, utilizing only renewable and recycled materials. Handmade by villagers who rely on their handicraft skills to survive. Be good to the environment & your bird, choose Planet Pleasure toys!!"

Hardwood perches

Looking in Petey the Sun Conure's cage

Visitors have noted in comments that it is important to have hardwood perches available for your birds. Petey does have natural hardwood perches in his cage. In the background you can see a manzanita branch. Manzanita is one of the hardest woods you can get for parrot perches. Make sure the perch you get has variation in its thickness. Although you can probably find some online, it is best to pick an individual branch out at your local pet store. Each branch is fairly unique and picking your bird's perch out will ensure the best fit possible.
