My bird hates toys!?

Question

I have a yellow nape amazon and she hates toys, she wont touch them no matter what I do. Most birds love toys especially while I am not home I do not want her getting bored. Can anyone help me? As well as she bites from time to time and doesn't step up like I would like. I have tried no reacting to the biting and not giving her treats and things, what should I do? I know this may take time I have only had her a few days before that she only had one other owner her whole life she is 13 and for the past 4 years was almost always in her cage, she does come out and that is what I want but she bites sometimes especially night time when I want her to go back in her cage, someone please help me

Answer 1

she is new ignore her and let her come to you then she will grow so attached she and you can play with her toys together

Answer 2

On toys, try starting her with things to shred.  Corn on the cob might be good, if she's not afraid of it.
