Bird toys. We have a Rainbow Lory[1] named Stitch. He loves to play with lego
pieces. Kind of an exploratory thing -- he checks out every nook and cranny.
He's totally fascinated by texture and shape. Kind of like an infant -- he
sticks everything in his mouth.
Another way he's like an baby -- his second favorite game is to throw things
overboard for us to retrieve, so he can throw them overboard for us to retrieve,
etc., etc.
He tends to get pretty wound up when he's playing with lego -- so we have to
watch our fingers or risk getting bit.
Znap is very useful in his cage (especially since it's semi-disposable). We've
used Znap pieces to build a holder for a roll of calculator tape -- he loves to
tear at it, and unroll the paper tape. We've used other Znap pieces as holders
for bits of food, and various other purposes.
Mega-bloks, being even more disposable than Znap, has occasionally been used as
"in cage" toys. Eventually, the parts get so gross that they are discarded.

| What uses have you put LEGO to that are for practical reasons? Let me give some examples to illustrate: 1. Eric McCarthy's napkin holder made of LEGO 2. I use 2x4 bricks as leveling shims for furniture in areas where the floor is not entirely flat (...) (19 years ago, 3-Oct-05, to lugnet.general)
