Pic of LoveBird lunging, bouncing on a Spring thing, like a playground ride

she likes to lunge outward and downward to make this bounce. she likes to
extract things from containers.
love birds seem to be 'physically intelligent'. what kinds of complex toys
or puzzles have some people given to lovebirds, or similarly smart pets?
hmmm... I began searching for another baby toy this lovebird likes, toy's
name unknown to me, beads slide on wires that are poked into a wood base.
something like this

I think it would be more interesting if some of the beads can slide over
others. some can snap together.
these toys remind me of a science toy for elem kids. the toy has ring shaped
magnets that slide along wooden dowels. when the magnets are facing each
other in repel config, they "bounce" away from each other.
send me some of the royalties :-)
I found a site advertising toys for parrots. pricey, but parrots are large,
so the toys have to be tough. I guess...
other toys this lovebird uses:
plastic chain links,
bells in balls (she looks like some weird soccer player, chasing that thing)
'rubber' snake. got chewed.
boot laces
steel chains
anything she can crawl into
small mirrors. she scrapes her beak sideways against mirrors, and metal pans
(underneath her)
these toys are cheap at thrift stores.
