this looks especially great for ground foragers like cockatiels. I'll have to see if I can find one for my gcc eventually

You can probably get a little remnant from HomeDepot.
Also - the artificial grass installers, some give away samples if you inquire.

i think the teils will love it, just can't leave it in too long , one of them will start to drag it around and next thing you know 6or 7 have reduced it to shreds.you've gotta love them.
