This is a fabulously versatile, solid stainless steel foundation that ended up in one of my supply crates. Kudos to the designer and creator of this! Does anyone know the source for this toy base? It would be perfect for a Middle or a Big - toys can be attached and hung from all of the spaces of the three horizontal rings, and toys could also be tied in the spaces above and below. Awesome sturdy bell below as well. It’s a mystery!

This is "Amelia T" exploring her new GC2 toy made with small Ponderosa pinecones.
Pinecones are great to use for foraging - Hide pieces of nuts, seeds between the scales (the sharp, pointy parts).

Bring on the peppers! Capsaicin? No big deal!

Many birds enjoy spicy peppers/chillis—but only because they can’t actually feel the heat.
We know that birds have different taste receptors from humans. In fact, all animals taste flavours differently. Because birds are biologically unable to register the effects of capsaicin—the chemical that makes peppers feel “hot” in your mouth—they don’t feel the burn like we do.Jalapeños, habaneros, and the aptly named bird’s eye chili plants have evolutionarily become selective about the animals that eat their fruit. These plants want their fruit to be eaten by birds—which travel long distances—in order to spread their seed effectively.The pepper plants couldn’t ask for a better seed distributor than a bird. Not only are birds immune to the burn of hot peppers—they don’t digest the seeds either. That means they pass through the bird intact. The bird’s gut even separates the seeds from the pulp of the fruit, meaning they’re more likely to germinate in the ground. Since many birds travel miles before they pass the seeds with their droppings, the plant’s offspring are planted far and wide.
Hot peppers are more than just a meal for birds. Chilies are a good source of Vitamin A, which is known to improve feather quality, colour and shine. Hot peppers are also widely believed to have health benefits, including antioxidants, immunity support and possibly even pain relief. 🌶🌶🌶🌶
