Hide a treat in the cardboard ball, or block a small length of tube at either end.
The treat may either be edible -
Tops from spice bottles, small plastic tablet bottles, fancy tops from shower gel, milk and Yogi sip bottles etc. once they have been VERY thoroughly cleaned can make imaginative toys.

Some parrots are wary and even frightened of change and new items. Always introduce new toys slowly. Turn the item over in your hand while the parrot is watching you. Show how interested you are, but leave the item at least a meter away from the parrot's cage. Return to the item, and lift it up, and handle it. Do this a few times. If the parrot seems unafraid take it closer to him. Only let him beak the item if he seems unafraid.
Introduce new toys regularly, as parrots soon become bored with their playthings. Rotate toys, as something that may have been quite boring and dull to the parrot 6 or 8 weeks previously can become the favoured toy again.
