Does he like lasers? They make automated laser toys that can be set on a timer and will restart randomly at the times you set. I would explore other enrichment type things, to tire out his brain. Typically this behavior is due to boredom. Cat trees with varying types of materials, so there’s different textures. Saving cardboard boxes and make a “maze” out of them. Putting a window hammock up for bird watching.

He gets bored of lasers real quick (and most teaser toys)

Can only fit so many cat trees (~2).

The Gibby is not amused by birds, only humans.
