[header] How to keep a pionus parrot entertained [title] Buy foraging toys. [step] Birds have a natural drive to hunt for their food in the wild, so provide toys that make them work for treats. Visit a pet supply store and look for medium-sized bird toys with compartments you stick treats into, and then let your parrot work through these puzzles once a day. 
[substeps] Make your own foraging toy by sticking seeds into an envelope or coffee filter and twisting it closed. Hang it from a string inside the cage and let your bird try to open it to get to the treat inside.
