I was looking at a website and it lists toys for every type of bird African grey, Amazon, Lovebird, Cockatiel and so on but dosen't list a IRN.
What would be the best toys to buy?

Hi Matt
Toys are very individual and different birds like different toys. A book that I have, "Parrot-toys & Play Areas" by D'Arezzo & Shannon-Nunn lists 11 different parrot-toy categories for you to try with your bird. They suggest that at any one time your bird should have toys from at least 4 categories. Someone else has written the 11 different parrot-toy categories here:

I like the range of toys at
http://www.myparrotshop.com/. They are on the expensive side though, but I like looking at all of the different types of toys.
I would encourage you to look carefully at foraging with your little guy. See these links for more information
