Creative Foraging Systems Two Drawer Two Door Stack

This device hangs in the cage and consists of two 2-inch pull-out drawers and two sliding doors, all located on different sides. Drawers: Parrots must open the drawer(s) to access the food or treats. Each drawer has a positive stop to prevent it from falling out or being easily removed by the bird. Doors: Each sliding doors has two openins so that the bird can partially access bits of food without opening the door. Each drawer/door has a positive stop to prevent it from falling out or being easily removed by the bird.

This device becomes most interesting when you add favorite treats, such as pine nuts or grapes, in different drawers and allow the bird to make choices based on being able to see the contents. Another idea is to hide a treat, such as a nut or a piece of dried fruit, in shredded paper and stuff it into the drawer.

Successful foraging of food items requires patience, perseverance, and athleticism. The parrot must sit on a perch, hold the tube stationary, and slide the door open. As the parrot has a full view of the contents, the bird and can select various food items according to preference.
