I was in Big W a few weeks ago, and they had a bag of about fifty buttons of all different sizes, shapes and kinds for $5 or so.
Hey, I thought, Akira and Sora both think buttons are awesome. So, I bought it, went through to pick out any I thought they might break or swallow, and put it in a shallow cardboard box with a couple of keys, a bell and some big plastic beads.
And they *love* it. It's on top of my computer desk, which is one of the higher places in the room. Their little heads pop in and out of vision (which means we now play 'peekaboo!' as well) and they both throw buttons for me to throw back. You'd think it was bird heaven the way they run around in there.
I was very, very happily surprised. :D They've got a playpen, which I've tried attaching various toys to, but they ignore everything on it in favour of sitting on the ladder and talking to Joel (it's on the corner of his desk). The only time they'll do anything other than just sit there is if there's seed on the bottom.
In fact, at one point Akira dropped down onto the computer tower to play with a bracelet there, and Sora's head popped up to see what he was doing, then disappears. He then pops up a few seconds later, directly above Akira...and drops a button on his head. Akira wasn't very impressed, but I laughed so hard I could barely breathe. Such a mischievous budgie. >:3
