| In a good way - I was in Walmart today. They had bird FORAGING toys! I guess the word is getting out that birds need more than a cage and bird seed!  | |

| I was all ready for this to be some terrible rant and rave... not that you've done any of that Roz, that's just what the title sounded like...
Kudos to Wally World!! | |

| No way! An ENRICHMENT toy at Wal-Mart? Are you sure that wasn't a dream??  Actually, I can't say I'm too surprised, it was bound to happen sooner or later. It's probably just been a matter of finding a supplier who is able to meet their needs volume-wise as well as be willing and able to agree on a price point. We all know the usual cost of our birds' toys when we buy them retail, and most are probably familiar with Wal-Mart's m.o. (huge company, tremendous buying power.) I'm grateful I wasn't a part of those negotiations! I'm curious Roz, did it look like a decent toy? One that would hold up to a real bird? | |

paper foraging boxes and hanging wooden toy w/ paper foraging boxes. So they'd be good for conure size and smaller and not a real serious forager. | |

| I have to stop in some Walmart to check. In Chicago those stores are on suburbs only(Why?), but it would be great if Walgreens would do similar(store on couple blocks distance everywhere). | |
