Georgie has a tub of buttons that he likes to play with. He flicks them out on to the floor then chases them about. Have you tried scrunched up balls of paper threaded on string? Obviously under supervision. A mug tree makes a good out of cage toy station too with a cheap wooden ladder from eBay maybe? I bought a Trixie play stand from eBay for about £13 which he loves and I can take it round the house with me too. I have a balsa wood toy on it from natural bird company.

Archie and Flossie live in our staff room which has limited space for playthings
I have attached perches to the outside of the cages where I can hang climbing ropes or toys from the outside perch.

A playpen (Archie's jungle) is placed under the climbing rope.
The birds tend to stay in that area when they are out,
I change the toys every couple of days to keep the birds happy with the play area
In the jungle there is chewing toys, balls, mirrors, large beads etc they chew at the bark of the jungle as well. So if you are short of space use the outside and top of the cage for hanging toys etc.
