Merry Balsa Surprise

My budgie is obsessed with these toys. There’s something so enticing for him about the crinkly paper and the easy-to-shred balsa that keeps him engaged for hours. Sometimes he’ll get through an entire balsa block in a day, leaving an impressive pile of balsa bits behind, with a satisfied look on his face. Other days, he loves booping the toy just to watch it swing, squealing with delight each time. It’s Christmas all year round, and he loves it.

This toy fit right in with all of our Christmas decorations. This was our green cheek’s first balsa toy, and once he got comfortable with it he absolutely demolished it. He had lots of fun shredding the balsa and ripping the cupcake liners.

After all the balsa is shredded, he loves making what’s left on the string swing around like a little tetherball.
