Hello,

Our cockatiel is a lutino, approximately two years old. I have always read that it is best to rotate a cockatiel's toys in order to prevent boredom. My problem is that our bird, Pooper (I know, don't laugh at his name!), has two favorite toys that are always in his cage: a bell on a chain that he has had since we first bought him and furnished his cage, and a metal bead pull chain (like the kind on ceiling fans). He loves both toys dearly, and seems to miss them when I remove one or both to put in a new toy, and he refuses to play with any of the new ones. When I return the "old" two favorites, he is quite happy. Common sense tells me to leave him with his two toys that he loves so much. What do you think?
