Go to Wilkinsons & buy him a Babble Ball or get one from our Scarlett& show him how it works yourself then give him it .Ours have about 4they love em

We also use childrens mobile phones & musical toys with batteries in

.We either turn em upside down on top of the cage or fasten em with wire ties on the sides.We have shown them how to press the buttons

& they now do it themselves & stand back & watch the lights flash. :thumbsup:They love to listen to the music playing

.They love em that much they batter & batter em

.We never pass a charity shop without going in to see if we can find new baby toys for em

.We have a very hormonal bird that really needs 12up 12down in total darkness .We tried all sorts of covers till someone told us to go Dunhelm Mills & buy Blackout curtaining we have it double thickness its brilliant

.We also use it to cover our birds up in their 601s in the car

.We got a friend to make it up .When we cover em up at home we just slightly lift the bottom to make sure there are no gaps of light showing through :thumbsup:But we never ever cover em in the day if there noisey

.Please look on my post Caravan Capers & you will see the type of babies musical toys we buy em( we always make sure the buttons are easy to press) .You say he calmed down when the tv was on

.Well when we go out we always leave the radio on for them turned down as low as we canto create a calming effect always on a talk channel not rock music etc

.Weve done this for so long now our hen can even do the pips on it. you .All the things ive told you weve bought em as cost little money just a bit of time effort & patience
