He "pecks" with beak closed. Just, tap tap tap tap tap ... Told my wife that he is trying to get the bugs to crawl out where he can catch and eat them.

These are metal spring clothes pins. I rubbed the springs on paper and nothing comes off. They are shiny and I see no signs of oxidation.
The all-wood clothes pins do not clip onto his cage or my shirt collar.
I'llook for the wooden spoons.

That is cute how she keeps her special things on the toy shelf.
I'm still looking for a tray in which to pile stones on top of treats that he can find and extract.

Liang Zai spends most of his day outside of his cage. Goes in to eat and drink and perch on his comfortable 3/4 inch wood dowel.
Thank you, Margaret.
