Baby's foraging

Dad and I watched a video from an avian veterinarian who suggested that captive parrots really like to find their food by foraging. So dad bought a ton of leather strips anywhere from a few inches to several feet in length and fastened dixie cups containing lots of treats. He and I then place them on her tree each morning and evening - it's like Christmas for Baby as she never knows what's inside. She figured it out in less than a day about pulling the leather cord with her feet to grab the cup, turn it upside down and use it as a holder to eat out of - she is quite smart! It is also entertaining to watch!
