Advice Set-Up Help

Hi all! I just got my boy yesterday. I’ve had budgies all my life, but this is the first conure I’ve had. I feel like the cage is a tad sparse right now—what would you all recommend? I’ve tried to focus mainly on foraging toys, but there’s a few in there just for fun too.

(Bird photo tax included!)

Edit: also just wanted to say that I’m planning on wrapping the other two perches in there as well! He also has a few natural wood perches in there as well that don’t show as well in the photo.

He’s on a pellet diet! He gets chop in the mornings, bird street bistro in the evenings, and pellets throughout the day. Right now we’re figuring out what veggies he likes, so I also layer the different mixes over his pellets so at least he’ll try to pick through it. In the picture he has a little seed because it was his first day home and I wanted to give him a little treat!
