When he is in his cage, my lovebird Petey likes to play basketball. Yeah I know it sounds weird, but he does. He has this toy that is basically 4 balls with bells in them that are connected and when the piece that connects them breaks the balls fall to the bottom of his cage. Then Petey just hops down to the bottom and begins to pick them up one by one and shakes them a bit and walks around. Eventually he'll just dump them all in his water bowl (never his food bowl) , which is pretty high up so he has to stretch to shove it in there.
As soon as I take them out he'll begin to play again. Luckily he has two water bowls so he always has somewhere to drink from. I used to throw away these little balls when they broke, then go buy him the same toy (he is in love with it) but as soon as i put it in his cage, he'll break it and play b-ball with them again, so I gave up. Now I only throw them away when they are in bad shape.
