people collect milk bottle tops for Momo to chew to pieces
stops him tearing the stove-enamelled paint off his perch

conures can be destructive buggers but so can all parrots, just don't leave them in a room full of valuable wooden carvings or you'll come home to a pile of sawdust

I guess they're nice and shiny for him. does he like lego? my friend's macaw used to love chewing that. the budgie just eloped with the little lego men
And buried them behind the fucking piano when he got bored.

Actually I'm amazed it didn't swallow the lego and die. Lucky the macaw had more brains than her parents.

not tried lego but I dare say he'd just destroy it in seconds
old bog rolls, bottle caps, cotton rope, shreds of old t-shirt, these are the things that make for a happy Momo bird

so basically he likes to kill stuff. good bird.
Pet supermarket has lots of parrot toys with wood and rope to destroy. I bought one for my friend's chickens once but they just shat themselves and ran away from it.

I've wasted so much money on parrot stuff that he's frightened of
aloe vera spray to clean his feathers, terrified him, insulated cuddle tent, he thinks it's a green cat, won't go in his cage if it's there

anyway, imma go fall asleep on the beanbag, gaz me for any parrot advice because I suspect everyone else is bored shitless by this subthread
