We asked:
What's your bird's
favorite toy?
You said: balls, foot toys,
even plain 'ol boxes.
 | | Simple pleasures are the best: Peaches the cockatoo's favorite toy is a nice chewy box. Here he helps owner Jayne Nelson of Kent, Ohio, make dinner. |
|
 | | Mango the sun conure enjoys a little beak-soccer on top of his cage. He belongs to Amy Joyce of Manchester, N.H.. |
|
 | | Charlie the blue-and-gold macaw from Ohio loves his towering climbing tree. |
|
 | | Jessie James likes to play with--what else?--rawhide. The sun conure chews and swings on the rawhide strip inside his cage all day long, says compadre Pam Hardy of Ontario. |
|
 | | Blaze the sun conure reigns with his "staff" over a busy household of parakeets, ring-necked parrots, and owner Vicky L. Brown of Ottawa. |
|
 | | All of Vicky's parrots, including Fritzy the nanday conure, Buddy the Meyer's parrot and Arwen the Timneh African grey, enjoy a three-ring circus of toys set up in the living room. |
|
For our next issue, we want to see the proud owners behind the birds. So don't be shy: Send us your favorite parrot JPEG that includes you, too! Please include your name, your bird's name, and your city and state.
