What are some other good toys for it?
It’s a rainbow lorikeet.
My Grey loves foraging toys. I usually hide an almond (in the shell) or other treat in the toys and she loves to destroy them looking for the treat. Check out her favorites at the link below.
Also don’t forget that you can make your own toys and save a LOT of money and have some fun. Check out the link below (Top Ten Cheap Materials to Use to Make Parrot Toys) for some ideas.
For more info on selecting toys, check out the article (Selecting Parrot Toys 101) written by the "My Parrot Shop" and "Toys! Toys! Toys!" at the links below.
The key is to try a lot of different toys and types of toys to see what your bird likes. They have preferences for toys much like kids do. So don’t get discouraged if you buy that wonderful looking fun toy for a lot of money, bring it home, put in in your birds cage and it just looks at you and the toy and never touches it. I hate when that happens

I can’t really say. It depends on the breed of parrot that it is. Most parrots like bells, things to chew on like wood blocks, or leather… Some like foraging toys. It really just depends on the breed, though.

Toys for parrots keep them amused and challenge them mentally, replacing the time they would normally spend looking for food. They enjoy several different types of toys. Foraging toys usually contain a food treat that the bird can only obtain by figuring out how to get at it. Wooden or even paper toys provide materials that birds can chew and shred. Foot toys—typically brightly coloured toys with movable parts—are designed so that birds can manipulate them with their feet. Many ingenious toys for parrots are available commercially, and simpler ones can be made at home; the key is to provide an entertaining challenge for the bird.
