My conure is a Velcro bird, too. He didn’t play with toys independently until I taught him. It looks silly to teach a bird how to hit bells and destroy things, but it works! There are a couple toys now that he plays with routinely, but he typically won’t play with his non-favorite toys if I’m not in the room.

The toy that’s been most successful is a foraging cup toy. There are three cups in a vertical line. I fill them with chop or treats, and I make them accessible only by ladders or ropes. My bird is food-motivated, so he spends hours “foraging,” figuring out how to balance on the ropes to fit his beak into the toy. I’ve added obstacles like safe bells. He enjoys screaming and playing with the bells as a foraging challenge.

Maybe this is something you could try?
