Don't know about you, but these days, a happy birb is more essential than ever. So for your viewing pleasure: Rosie the Peep with a new toy. Two seconds after putting it in her cage, she was VERY HAPPY. She is one BRAVE BIRB.

Here, a new toy is placed within eyesight of my bird. I wait a few days then put it on top of her cage. Wait more days & put it in the cage. She goes to the other side of the cage & avoids the "new predator that she's sure is going to eat her" for more days. Then millet around the toy draws her in.🦜
