These are a lighter weight box that are good as a component part for a toy of your design or a foot toy. We like to put a scant teaspoon of un-popped corn into the box, place in microwave for about 45-60 seconds (listen for popping to stop, nothing worse than burnt popcorn). Let the box cool thoroughly and give to your parrot! Dennis King was kind enough to take this photo of Cassie the Caique at Parrot Festival enjoying one of our sample boxes that we had filled with popcorn. There's a short, fun video that Dennis did as well on Facebook. Other suggestions include putting clean pre-loved toy parts that still have good chewing left ... or add other wooden parts and/or porcupine balls, etc.! We put whole nuts inside, shredded paper, coconut fiber, ParroTraps, Just Fruit and/or Just Veggies, and tie the box closed (more foraging fun that way) with sisal, leather lacing or leather strips, paulie rope, or cotton rope for a big bird foot toy ... or string several of them together for even more foraging fun! You can nest one box inside one another. Fill the smaller box with some shredded paper, popped corn, a walnut or some other special treasure, then put that a larger one and so forth! The only limitations to what you can do with these boxes is your imagination! Go crazy ... your parrot will love you for it!
