Bermuda Vine Ball Toy – Regular (PT715)
The Bermuda is an amazing 'all-rounder' toy! It is colourful, has lots of safe, crunchy vine and can be used as a foraging toy when you hide dry food treats like nuts, large pellets and paper-wrapped goodies inside the many vine balls for your bird to work for. Your parrot will delight in crunching up the vine to reach their treat and the chains of vine rings that hang around the toy are fun to shake and play with. This is the regular size and the body of the toy measures 13 x 13cm and hangs a total of 38cm tall on the vegetable tanned leather and pear clip. The last photo shows the regular and small together, the small is also available in the online store. This toy is actually one of the reasons I started stocking other toys apart from the naturals that I hand-make. I used to buy 12 at a time from America for my own birds and started supplying them to friends with birds when they saw how great they were. This prompted me to make a business account and start stocking them, so they are a part of the business' history!$27.20or 4 payments of $6.80 with Afterpay
Bottom’s Up
This is a very popular foraging toy that is great for the smaller breeds of birds. It is easy to teach your bird to use and can also be made more difficult. Fill it with your bird's favourite treats, and their normal diet, mixed with bird safe foraging substrate. You can use Mini Feather Weight Foot toys, vine balls and other items in this toy as well as treats. The photos show the toy with these items in use. It comes brand new and empty. Your bird will need to lift the light, plastic lid and reach their head into the cup to access their reward. The cups and lids move around freely on a long length of nickel plated chain. While your bird is learning to use the toy, you can sticky tape the lids open or partially open to make it easier for them. Then change to no tape, with the lids sitting loosely once your parrot knows that they can get the food with the lid lifted. You can even start sticky taping the lids closed once your parrot is really good at this toy! They will need to chew through the tape to open the lid! (avian vet recommended/safe). Measures 43cm long (including pear clip and bell) and 6.5cm wide.$32.00or 4 payments of $8.00 with Afterpay
Multi Crunch
The Multi-Crunch is great chewing and preening toy that can be used for foraging too! It has 9 safe, crunchy vine balls and pine pieces, hanging from vegetable tanned leather, underneath a reed bowl. By separating gaps in the vine balls to hide dry food treats like nuts, large pellets and paper-wrapped goodies for your bird to work for, it becomes a fun foraging toy. You can pull the gaps in the vine closed before giving it to your bird. Your parrot will delight in crunching up the vine to reach their treat. The toy measures 10cm wide and 28cm tall, hanging from a nickel plated pear clip.$27.20or 4 payments of $6.80 with Afterpay
Natural 2cm Vine Balls (each)
Vine Balls are a great, versatile item. They can be used as a chewable foot toy, put food inside and use it within a foraging toy or even on its' own as a foraging foot toy! Lastly, they make a great toy part as you can thread them onto wire, chain or rope as part of a toy. Each vine ball is made from wound grape vine and is roughly 2cm in diameter, but do vary as they are natural products. Larger vine balls are also available in my store.$0.50Feather Weight Foot Toys (2 sizes)
These Feather Weight foot toys are so versatile! You can use them for foraging as you can hide food in the ridges of each 'bobble' for your bird to dig out. They can be given as a foot toy and the mini ones can be put inside many other foraging toys or hidden around the cage. The rings can be used as toy parts, hung from other toys, given as a foot toy or placed around your birds' perches. Because they are made as kids toys, with non-toxic plastic, they are as safe as possible for your bird to chew. I use these daily for my own birds, hiding seeds and small pellets in the ridges and using them through the foraging toys in their cages. Take a look at all the videos in the tab below of the various foot toys in use. Please note the videos also show the 'small and medium' ones in use. These sizes are currently unavailable, but the mini (single ball) and rings (5 balls in a loop) are available. Each ball is about 2cm in diameter and are available in blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple and red as pictured. A random selection of colours will be chosen for you unless otherwise requested.$0.60 – $2.40Natural 4cm Vine Balls (each)

Believe it or not, this toy can actually help to reduce mess and wastage. Every beak-full of food your bird gets out, he has to purposely chew/work for so more often than not, he's not going to throw it all over your walls!

JW Tip and Treat
A great cage-mounted foraging toy for our smaller birds, this simple yet enjoyable toy is perfect for Budgies, Lovebirds and Cockatiels. Watch as your bird learns to tip the pod to retrieve the reward from the tray below. Be sure to check out the video tab on this page to see this toy in use! Please note that there is a mirror that makes up the back wall of this toy. Mirrors have been found to be popular with these breeds of bird in particular, so it may help encourage your bird to this toy while they're learning. Once they have learned to use the foraging part of this toy, you may wish to cover the mirror with some paper to avoid your bird becoming obsessed with their reflection. I have done this with my own birds' toy and found it successful.$13.00Small Acrylic Maze
This 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.$32.00or 4 payments of $8.00 with Afterpay
Medium Pipe Dream
The 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. The Medium Pipe Dream suits Cockatiels, Conures, Quakers, Caiques, Indian Ringnecks & most Lorikeets. Birds that like to chew and destroy plastic may break the plastic lids over time and I would suggest using the acrylic lid option instead. 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 (when available).$23.50 – $26.50or 4 payments from $5.88 with Afterpay
