Description

If you do a web search for this toy, be sure to put in Peek-a-Zoo lock box or you will end up getting results for a lot of books. The Peek-a-Zoo sells for between $20 and $25. But if you are really lucky you might be able to find a used one for much less. The one I picked up for Eli was missing a few shapes, but still very much worth the $1.50 that I paid for it. What makes this toy so great for smart African Greys, is that each door has a different kind of latch on it. Eli opened 5 of the 7 doors on his first day with it. He pulls the shapes from their spots and he likes to stick his head inside the box through the side door. I was happy with how much time he spent with it. Herbie on the other hand, shows absolutely no interest at all in this kind of toy.
