My birds don't play with toys, what's up with that? I figure Sweetie is old and disinterested, but she loves playing with whatever "toy" I am wearing. She likes to walk around my desk and investigate things, other than that she just sits around. Pearl is younger, more agile and curious. I have only had her two weeks and so far she shows zero interest in toys. The toys in their cage hang, nothing gets shredded and I have never seen either so much as show an interest. Same with toys on their playpen. I want, and will after i recover from Christmas, get them a larger cage. However as inactive as they are, even when they are outside their cage I can't help but wonder if it is necessary.

My budgies didnt play with toys until i had them for a few months. Now all of them fight over their toys. Give it time and it might change.

Yes it can take a month or so for them to get used to the new surroundings and then play with the toys

Kringle & Clausy didn't give a hoot about toys until Noel & December moved in, other than their birdie kabob which they did occasionally chew at. The girls played with the toys right away, like within the first two days, and then Kringle & Clausy started playing, too. Mistletoe was interested in toys from the very first night he arrived home, but then he's a baby.
So all five of my birds play with toys now, but they don't play with them all day. In fact, it's still rare enough that when I see any one of them paying with a toy, I will stop and watch.

My budgies took a week or so to play with their toys. However, thinking back to my previous budgie, I had hi for a few years before he started to play

Pirate doesn't spend much time on the toys in his cage either. He prefers to play with things that he feels he is sharing with me. If I am writing something, I give him paper to shred and/or a capped pen to pick up and toss. If I am knitting or crocheting, he gets ends of yarn and a needle or hook of his own to mess with and so on. He particularly loves to destroy q-tips, its my go to thing if I can't get him out of my face and I need to focus on something XD

My cockatiels are more like pirate with toys. My budgies were so busy all of the time. Very different birds.
