YouTube - ivy and her ring...ivy loves to play with this toy on the couch in my lap.

YouTube - Ivy rolls on the couch...one of ivy's current favorite pastimes. she loves to chew on my hand while she is on my back, sometimes a little TOO hard (you can see that at one point in the video lol)

YouTube - Ivy and the pine cone...ivy was scared of the pine cone...until it was on the floor. then it became a wild game of soccer. sorry, i make obnoxious noises too lol. btw, my dog isn't vicious like she sounds!

She reminds me more of a puppy than a bird playing like that.
Don't forget down here in Florida pine cones can be a haven for all sorts of creatures such as spiders and scorpions. Scorpions live in them.

i know lol!

there are no pinecones around my area. these were from chopper's toys, ivy got them for christmas.

Cute videos! Ivy is cautious about that prickly pine cone. Did she finally pick it up?

she's picked it up a couple of times...i just don't think she understands what she is supposed to do with it lol.

She will learn, she is sooooo adorable.

i wish i could say she is a fast learner....ALAS lol! any type of foraging i have offered her has made her brain explode!

she really is adorable, though. so awkward lol.

Hey, when you're pretty and oh-so-adorable, you don't have to be a fast learner, right? The world is gonna love ya, anyway. Ivy knows what's up with that! *grins*

Gorgeous bird, thanks for sharing.
