It is one kind of a foraging box for your birdies to enjoy.

I usually use a tupperware container about 9-12 inches long.

In it I'll put things like hay, twigs, stones, feathers, bits of spray millet, some seeds, some shredded paper, pine cones, tree bark, small balls of crumpled up paper, egg shells, some wild seed heads when available, mealworms, etc. All sorts of items that the kids might enjoy going through.

Foraging is is a natural activity for all birds, and birds in captivity enjoy it just as much as their wild brethern.

You got it!

It's a good thing to keep them busy and occupied.
