What a sweet pic, lemonade - it shows how much Apple loves it. Good luck - can you get it from the American place, do you think? Or is anyone from this country on the forum off to US of A for their hols...?

lemonade, is it the swing bit or the mirror bit he loves (or both?)? I'm pretty sure I have the mirror bit in my box of old budgie toys, we definitely did have anyway (it's possible it got thrown but I can check). It never had a swing bit though. I don't know if it's possible to cobble some kind of perch onto it but it would never look the same & we all know how exacting & obsessive budgies can be! But if you want it (& we've still got it!) it I can post it to you.

Thanks Starrymist  Well I have been out and about most of the afternoon and I am so happy that I tracked one down, after trying my local pet places I drove to the nearest Wilkinson about 12 miles from me, just in hope they maybe had one through their stockroom or something, I spoke to an assistant (who must have thought I was some lunatic bird lady) but she was very helpful and rang a few other stores and one had it! So back in the car and drove another 25 miles to this store and bought it! I felt a bit embarrassed as they must have thought I was mad, all that for a budgie toy at £1.49!! So ... Happy budgie, happy owner and a wee Sunday drive |

Let's hope Apple appreciates the effort you have put in. |

He's such a sweet bird OP, he's been sitting on it, none the wiser that it's a new one! You should get one for Joey and Whiskers if you ever come across one. It's double sided so they could both have great fun |

I would need a bit of ballast on one side with Joey and Whiskers. Nice thought though. |

Hooray, mission accomplished! The things we do for our budgies eh?! I love how Apple hasn't even noticed it's an interloper....

lemonade, if it makes you feel better, I couldn't find anywhere that sold the sort that I have either when someone was asking about getting one - they were about $3 from the cheapy department store. I ended up getting a bout six of them as they are flimsy but the buds love them - very similar to yours, but not the same (Apple would know  ) and of course since I stocked up we haven't had a failure. Touch wood!

So glad you found one, even if you had to travel half the world to get it. The trouble we go to! But of course, they're worth it.  |

Brilliant, whilst I was looking for your swing I found a wobbly toy with a mirror on which I have been looking for. Jo loves it so needed another one just in case!
