The balsa on this toy lasted half an hour (if that). Here’s Cooper, not too pleased that somebudgie* chewed off all the balsa…
Luckily she was distracted by all the fun, colorful beads…

*Mostly Cooper
Our budgies love chew logs. Harry takes off the twine and fastens the log to a piece of wood with a screw. This way, it’s stable and more of the birds have access.

Teamwork!

Ozzie is a chewing machine.
The flock goes through a log pretty quickly (and make a huge mess).
The beginnings of the mess. I think I swept up at least 5 times that day.
