When I try to get new toys for her, she becomes deathly afraid from them, and stays as far away as she can from the toy. How should I help her combat her fears so I can help give her new things to play with?

My green cheek hates my girlfriend…. She will fly to her, be nice, then when my gf tries to give her scritches she will bite the absolute hell out of her.. it’s getting to the point where I almost can’t have her out because she will fly to my gf and bite her hands. My girlfriend has never harmed her. Gives her treats all the time, Daisy even let’s her search her head through the bars sometimes but she just doesn’t like her when she’s outside of the cage

Hello! I recently acquired my cage to house my new birdie. They are already on reserve. All they are waiting for is for me to set up their cage but I need some help. I have no idea where to look and what to get. I would love to hear y’all’s recommendations and any overall tips for the first few weeks at the house. The cage is attached above. Thank you!

They had a cool color changing hue to them which I think added to the fear.

I even removed them, realizing it scared them. Sucked because I really felt pretty with them and loved them but my birds are more important.

Now even after removing them, they want absolutely nothing to do with me and it's been a week. So frustrating, but I know I gotta go back to the basics. Re build trust. I'm trying to stay patient and not disheartened, but it sucks.

I missed the chirp n chat the other day due to work/timezone difference but was wondering if there’d another this week to possibly participate in. TIA

My little guy absolutely loves to chew and shred things. He has plenty of toys in his cage and toys I bring out for him, but they’re not anything particularly chewy that he can shred or pull at. The only thing he has in there that is similar is a rope perch, which he’s tried ripping apart, I’m just unsure if this is the safest for him.

He also has been pulling at the little string things that tie his bird bed to the cage, but again it’s not really a toy. He has a cuttle bone and a calcium block in his cage as well. He’s started trying to shred his wooden perches too. I know he’s going to shred whatever he wants, but I was hoping to find him some toys specifically for that to help him out and keep him safer.

Does anyone here have any good and safe toy recommendations for this?

This is what the new baby was weaned on to, mixed with a seed blend. I am used to feeding Harrisons, and I'm not crazy about the bright colors (makes it harder to keep an eye on her poops when they're technicolored) but I'd rather not fight with the baby when she's already eating pellets if they're a quality option. Adding a baby pic for attention.

Any ideas for home made toys? Like wood ones or ribbons? Any safe paints that i can stain or dye the wood with? What can/cant i use (: any help is appreciated.
