Holy Gumballs
$19.70Holy Gumballs! Is a small to medium sized toy with lots of fun things happening! There’s so many colours and textures for your bird to explore and so many places you could hide food treats to encourage foraging behaviour too. With lots of rolled paper sticks poking out of the piece of timber in the middle (these are all coloured with food safe dyes), plastic flowers, wiffle balls, a nickel-plated bell and 2 mini ‘Feather Weight Stars’, Holy Gumballs will satisfy the tactile and visual needs of your bird.
To add a foraging component, you can wedge thin treats like hulled oats or slivered almond pieces in the mini Feather Weight Stars, you can put dry treats inside the wiffle ball or stick pieces of paper straws in the holes (the paper straws can have treats inside too!) and you can even wedge pieces of food into the rolled paper sticks for your bird to retrieve. The last 2 photos show examples of this.
This toy measures roughly 24cm long (including pear clip and bell) and 17cm wide, it suits most small to medium parrots.
Medium Food Pyramid
$26.00This is well designed, foraging toy made by the Australian company ‘My Parrot Shop’. You can hide treats, beads and normal diet/pellets within the many ‘wells’ of this toy which are placed on each level of the pyramid (except for the top block).
Your bird will need to spin the levels to access the food wells and get their reward. It is made with 100% stainless steel hardware, including the pear clip/small quick link and uses safe, vegetable dyed timber. Each pyramid is slightly different and colours vary.
The medium measures 14 x 14cm wide and 18cm tall. Small and large are also available.
Sitting Pretty
$14.50A new toy from Super Bird, ‘Sitting Pretty’ is a cute, chewable toy for the little guys. With a lots of coloured chunks of ‘Sola’ threaded on vege tanned leather, a little cane basket and a cute duck toy inside. There’s a bell hanging at the bottom and this toy comes with a nickel plated pear clip.
Sola is another soft plant material that is similar to yucca and balsa. It is soft and satisfying to chew for smaller parrots who often don’t chew on harder timber.
The toy measures a total of 24cm tall (including pear clip and bell), with the main body of the tall sitting 18cm tall, 11cm wide and 4cm deep.
Balsa Heaven
$12.70 – $15.20Balsa is a very soft timber that is satisfying to chew and is a favourite for many small parrots. I made this toy as a birthday present for Larry the female Cockatiel, who is owned by one of my wonderful customers. She is pictured with her toy and has chosen to name it ‘Balsa Heaven’.
This toy incorporates long, thin slats of balsa, with some colourful beads and a small pacifier at the bottom, all threaded onto stainless steel wire. A loop is made at the top of the toy to attach a hanging link to. The toy measures roughly 17cm tall and 15cm wide and the balsa can be fanned out or laid flat depending on your cage set up.
Fantastic for Budgies, Lovebirds, Cockatiels, Conures and Quakers.

Small Acrylic Maze
$31.00This is a cute little foraging toy that is great for the smaller breeds of birds. Fill it with your bird’s favourite treats, and their normal diet.
Your bird will need to spin the maze by holding onto the opening and moving it around. The wheel spins freely and your bird can watch their food move from shelf to shelf until it reaches the opening. By adding bird safe foraging substrate, you can increase the difficulty of this maze once your bird is experienced at it. The maze fits together as 2 pieces and is held firmly by the bolt and washers attaching it, however it can be taken apart for easy cleaning.
This toy is made from tough, clear and coloured acrylic and will hold up against even the tougher beaks. It is the small version of this toy, a large is also available and both are pictured in the last image. The small measures 10cm in diameter and roughly 3cm thick/deep. Screws onto the side of the cage with the nut and bolt set, as well as 2 washers. Fits all cage/aviary bars.
Medium Pipe Dream
$20.00 – $21.00The Pipe Dream is a foraging toy of Kirsty’s own making. They are made in 3 different sizes to suit a range of parrots and the medium is best suited to Cockatiels to Indian Ringnecks.
Your parrot just needs to lift the lid out of the way and reach their beak inside the pipe to retrieve their reward. You can mix seed/pellets with bird safe foraging substrate inside the toy or use larger items like nuts, beads or chunks of vegetables wrapped in paper. When first introducing this toy, you can use a piece of sticky tape to hold one lid open for your bird to learn where to find the food. After they have used it this way for a few days, you can remove the tape and let them pick the lid up themselves.
The stainless steel chain running through the toy, helps to hold the lids a little more securely to add some difficulty. Pacifiers adorn the ends of the chain.
The Pipe dream is made with bird safe, tough pvc and all hardware is stainless steel. There are acrylic beads and cardboard birdy bagels for your bird to play with too. At the top, there is an ‘o’ ring to attach your own hanging link to. There are 2 options for the type of lid you would like on this toy, for Cockatiels, small Conures, Quakers & most Lorikeets the plastic lid is suitable (first 2 images). For birds that like to destroy plastic, like larger Conures, Caiques, Indian Ringnecks then the tougher acrylic lid is best (last 2 images). The acrylic discs are all clear, coloured ones are not currently available.
For Budgies and Lovebirds, there is a small toy available and for Alexandrines to Macaws, the Large Pipe Dream is available and comes only with acrylic lids.
Groovy Bonzo

Vetafarm Nutriblend Small 350g
Great for use as a treat in dry food foraging toys for birds that eat plain pellets as their regular diet. Also useful to use this coloured, flavoured pellet to convert your bird from a seed diet. Birds are more likely to take to this food when converting than they are to many of the plain pellets.
This pellet is the small size, larger than the mini. Each pellet is slightly smaller than a green pea.
These 2 packets are on special as their ‘best before’ date is July 2018.
$13.00$11.70Vetafarm South American Mix 350g
$13.00Great for use as a treat in dry food foraging toys for birds that eat plain pellets as their regular diet. This food is designed for South American Breeds of parrot as a base-diet, in conjunction with vegetables and fruits. I prefer to feed a plain pellet with lower energy and use these as treats as well as daily vegetables and fruit.
This variety comes in one size only but is the same as the ‘small’ in the Nutriblend range. Each pellet is slightly smaller than a green pea.
