Hey,

So I am travelling back to my home country and thought I would buy some toys for my mom's GCC and IRN.

GCC is 2 years old
IRN is 3 years old

Current toys they have :-

IRN
1: Nut foraging toy
2: Sound making toy like a keyring with bells.
3: Hollow ball with bells inside
4. Chewing toy
5. Foraging toy with wooden pieces to chew.

GCC
1: Chewing toy but I doubt chews on it.
2: Sound making toy like a keyring with bells.
3: Hollow ball with bells inside

I've attached the pics of the toys.

I need to replace all of these toys. Maybe not the foraging ones.

So I need suggestions on what to get for the GCC and IRN.

I was just browsing through few sites online and the amount of stuff available is over-whelming.

Sites I was browsing through :-
https://bonkabirdtoys.com/

So here's what I need help with :-
A good reliable site to order the toys from.
Some good toy suggestions which a GCC and IRN may like.

Also should I post this thread in the IRN section too ? I thought both are almost the same size (IRN is bigger but not by much) so the toys would be same.

Let me know.

Bird Supplies: Bird Toys: Parakeet to Conure Toys

Bird Supplies: Bird Toys: Conure to Amazon Toys Toys

Linked above is a good site, Dr Foster and Smith. Parakeet to conure would be good for the GCC and conure to amazon good size for the IRN. Honestly, there are so many I cant tell you which one, but I like to get at least one foraging toy, and then two chew/shred toys each time I make an order. Since the GCC is small and may not be able to chew on wood well, some good options include toys with rope, paper, and those "kabobs".
Below are a couple ones I either have or think would be good for a conure. Most toys can be made into foraging toys as well. The "fiesta ball" my bird loves and I hide treats in it as well.

The funny thing for me is that the best "toy" are branches out of the trees in the back yard.

They're 100 year old elm trees that don't get any chemical treatments so when they drop a branch I just clean it off and let him at it. He'll take a 2 foot long branch and strip it of bark in about an hour. Making happy little squeaks the whole time.

All those expensive toys I bought for him? Won't touch them. A free tree branch... goes bananas.
 
I find that the Balsa wood toys are ideal for my conure and tiels. Balsa wood is soft and smaller hookbills have a ball chewing it, at least mine do!
