Well, we've discovered that threading a string and some beads through the holey ball, attaching it to the side of the cage and draping it over a perch creates the ultimate plaything! Smokey had us in stitches. The video is about a minute, but he kept on going for at least 20! I love the look on his face at the end of the video when it falls down...

The link wont work for me, but I'm not sure if that is because photobucket is having problems..........

hmm... not working for me either... will fiddle and if I have no luck, we can explain my technological ineptitude away as being problems with photobucket!

 

Hmm... have fiddled, and re-entred the link etc. It is working when I preview the post, but won't work once up onthe board... mysterious... will continue trying. If anyone else out there has a botter idea of how to tackle this let me know!

Try again

 

aha! I just managed to get the initial one working and MB offers the simple solution of "try again"... sometimes i am guily of complicating things unneccesarily! :rofl: Anyway, enjoy!

 

PS Thanks MB!

The easiest way is to just use the copy and paste image (the bottom one of the four in PB) just like normal, it gives you a clickable slide like that one :rofl:

Oh gosh that is awesome, I so remember when Pretty would beat his around.

Haha - Cosmo was playing with a paperclip today and started to get really into it like that... and I agree with you - the look on their face when they drop it is priceless

:rofl: Had to watch it again.. and again.. its so funny .. he's trying so HARD and doesnt give up till he gets it!!

thats ace ..its cute as keep him amused for ages

Please dont leave it in the cage unattended as I have had budgies hang themselves with cord from toys :laughter:

Nice :laughter:

 

My budgies do that with the cover we put over them... they've torn it to shreds and drag attached bits all over the cage.

 

They also like to play tug of war with the stalks of millet spray...
