Buffet Ball (3″)
$13.50This toy is ‘Product of the Week’! From midday Wednesday 21st Feb until midday 28th Feb, buy the Buffet Ball (loose), Buffet Ball Cage Mounted, Party Ball or the Hanging Sphere and receive a free hanging natural bird toy with your order. Make sure you mention what type of bird(s) you have in the checkout so I can choose a suitable natural toy.
This toy is perfectly designed for feeding your bird fruits and vegetables. You could also fill with shredded paper, large pellets/nuts and parcels.
Your bird just needs to reach their beak into the slots/openings in this toy to pull out their prize! Wrapping your birds’ chunks of fruit and vegetables will prolong the enjoyment of this toy as your bird chews through the paper to get to their reward. 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!
This toy is made from tough polycarbonate and will hold up against even the tougher beaks. This is a loose, individual toy. It can be hung from a skewer (various options shown below), hung by a large hanging loop or used as a foot toy for a very large parrot or placed in a foraging bowl.
The Buffet Ball is 9cm in diameter and each of the 12 slots (6 per half) is about 4cm long and 8-12mm wide. This is a versatile toy that suits most parrots.Also known as the 3″ Party Ball. The 5″ Party Ball is shown in the last image and also available in my store.
Pinecone Christmas Wreath
$23.00A Christmas themed natural chew, full of crunchy Pinecones for your medium to large parrot.
This toy is handmade in Brisbane with Pinecones that have been cleaned and dried safely before use. There is also pine slats, vine balls, vine rings, a yucca chunk and a vine star for your lucky bird to enjoy in the holiday spirit. Coloured items are dyed with food-safe colours and items are threaded onto 85cm of stainless steel wire. Each end is looped over and attached to the other end to make the wreath shape. The toy hangs from a stainless steel chain and ‘o’ ring and a hanging link of your choice can be purchased separately if required.
*Please note, we are now out of stock of the vine stars!!! An alternative item will be used in its’ place. The main image shows the new design, without the star.*
The toy measures roughly 40cm tall (including chain and link) and 35cm wide.
These natural toys are handmade and the seed pods are seasonally available. Therefore, every toy does differ and may have a variety of sizes of seed pod (instead of 6 large Pincones, it might have 8 smaller ones for example).
Custom Natural Ladder (various sizes)
$27.00 – $82.00Natural ladders that are handmade, custom for each order.
Each rung of the ladder will be a piece of branch from a native tree, with lots of bark for your parrots’ feet and nails. Lining the side is a seasonal mix of Australian Gumnuts, Casuarina and Liquid Amber pods plus native branch pieces, balsa bricks, vine balls/rings, birdy bagels, yucca pieces, woven leaf shredding strips and finger trap pieces, threaded onto stainless steel wire. Even the occasional small Pinecone or Banksia cone is added to the ladders.
Please select from the options to customise your ladder. If you have other requests, please include them in the order notes and/or contact me first to discuss your requirements. I typically make a loop on each of the 4 ends. You can then attach a pear clip or other hanging link to each end (hanging links purchased separately and available on this site). I can put alternative ends on the ladder like a hook shape, though please be careful to assess how the hook sits in your birds’ area to ensure it is safe. See the last couple of photos which show these options.
These natural toys are handmade and the seed pods are seasonally available. Therefore, every toy does differ and contains a mix of dry/open and green/closed seed pods. Please contact me before purchase if you have specific wishes or want to check availability of certain seed pods.
These ladders do take a bit of time for me to make and I do this in addition to my job as a vet nurse. I also prefer to use fresh seed pods that I collect once I have an order, so please allow up to 1 – 2 weeks for your order to be made (though some may be made in a matter of days too). Feel free to contact me before placing an order to check availability.
Contact via my Facebook Page or email to contact@animalenrichmentaustralia.com is preferred.
Hida-a-Treat Forager (2 Sizes)
$18.80 – $28.90A simple foraging toy for parrots, newly released from ‘Sweet Feet & Beak’ in a transparent design. Your bird will see the food inside the 3 separate compartments inside and needs to lift the lid to access the goodies.
Available in 2 sizes to suit a wide variety of breeds. I suggest the small for Conures to Indian Ringnecks and the large for Alexandrines to Macaws. It comes in 3 colours: purple, green and blue. A colour will be chosen at random, though you are welcome to request a specific colour in order notes.
Planet Pleasures Large Coloured Pinata
$21.40This is a chunky shreddable toy that your companion parrot will love! Made with natural, woven plant material, it truly is designed for beaks that love to chew! Made by Planet Pleasures who supply an awesome range of natural bird toys for your parrots’ chewing pleasure!
You can even turn this into a foraging toy for your bird by hiding favourite pieces of dry food in the many openings and hidey holes in the different weaves of this toy.
Measures roughly 40cm long and 8cm in diameter. This toy doesn’t come with a hanging link which you can choose separately.
Large Baffle Cage
$45.00This is a high quality, sturdy foraging design that is great for all breeds of birds. Fill it with your bird’s fruits and vegetables as well as foot toys, blocks of wood, pinecones and banksia pods.
Your bird will need to reach through the gaps in the bars to access their rewards. You could make this harder by wrapping everything inside the toy with paper for them to chew open or lining the baffle cage with cardboard once your parrot has mastered it.This toy is 100% stainless steel and measures 15 x 15cm across, while hanging a total of 40cm tall from a chain with quick link attachment. The bars are 2cm apart.
Giant Foraging Wheel (Second Generation)
This is a sturdy foraging toy designed for large and extra large birds. Your parrot will need to turn the wheel to access five separate food compartments which you can fill with foot toys, beads, nuts, 'foraging parcels' and other treats. You can fit foraging foot toys, such as the Flower Pot, Smarty Ring and up to medium Feather Weights within the compartments of this wheel. Using 4cm Vine Balls and Yucca Pieces is also a great foraging idea.
Measures roughly 20cm in diameter and 5cm thick/deep. It screws onto cage at 2 points and fits most cage and aviary bars.
For medium parrots, I suggest the smaller, 'Extra-Large' version of this wheel. They are all made from tough polycarbonate and are dishwasher safe.
$74.50$72.00Large Acrylic Maze
$47.50This is a sturdy versatile foraging toy that is great for the most 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. You can also use Mini Feather Weights as foraging foot toys inside the maze.
The maze itself is a sealed piece of acrylic and cannot be opened, it is tough and will stand up to the big beaks! The Large Maze measures 15cm in diameter and 3cm thick, it screws onto the side of the cage with the nut and bolt set, as well as 2 washers which fits all cage/aviary bars. The small is available in my store also.
Hanging Tilt-a-Wheel
$34.80The Hanging Tilt-a-Wheel is a new design made by Caitec. Or should I say, a ‘re-invented’ design after the Cage-Mounted version was too difficult for most beaks. This ‘saucer’ is see through and has 2 openings in the top that your clever parrot can access their food from. Fill it with dry food, treats and foraging substrate (eg bird safe kitty litter) and watch as your bird spins, pushes and tilts the wheel to get to the reward.
The Tilt-a-Wheel measures 21cm wide and a total of 27cm tall, including the quick link that it hangs from. There is a short length of natural, sisal rope under the toy too.
Bird Kabob Pack of 20 Yucca Pieces (20)
$17.50A bag of approx 20 yucca slices in discs, halves and quarters.
Yucca is a type of plant and these pieces of dried plant root are bird safe, soft and chewable. Great to give as a foot toy or thread onto other toys. By making small holes in the Yucca fibres and pushing dry food treats into it, you can make this a foraging foot toy also. The last photo is an example of how food can be stuck in the yucca.
As a natural item, the colour of the pieces do vary and there are some small holes or gaps in some pieces.
Rattler Ring Foot Toy
$6.50The new Rattler Ring toy from Super Bird is jingly and jangly! This is a sturdy foot toy suitable for the larger parrots that like to manipulate things with their feet and beak. It makes a gentle rattling sound when being turned over and your bird may enjoy shaking it for extra rattle! Check out the video in the tab below to see Precious with hers.
The Rattler Ring is 2cm in diameter and measures 7 x 7cm. They come in yellow and green. As of Jan 2017, now also available in rainbow!
Smiley Cup
$1.70These colourful little tea cups are too cute to pass by!
With different faces on each cup and a handle that can be held my many breeds of birds, they make a great foot toy. Train your bird to hold it with their foot while they ‘drink’ out of the cup for a reward. You can use them as a toy part or just hang the cups in your birds cage. Mini Feather Weight Foot Toys fit well within the cup, as do 2cm Vine Balls and many pellets and smaller nuts. There is a video in the tab below showing the cup in use.
There is a gap in the handle, big enough for stainless steel ‘o’ rings and small rope to pass through to hang the cup or use it as a toy part.
Buster Food Cube Mini
$23.00This has long been one of my favourite designs, the Buster Food Cube is a great toy with a clever design. The cube has compartments inside which means food doesn’t move around quite as freely as it would in a hollow item. The inner cone of the toy also has just 2 openings within, making more of a challenge for your clever pooch to get their biscuits out. The inner cone is removable for cleaning also.
It comes in 4 great colours and 2 sizes to suit every pooch. This is for the mini cube which is suitable for dogs under 10kg. Please select your preferred colour.
Catmosphere Food Ball (cats & large parrots)
$28.00Cats are hunters by nature. Stimulate your cat”s curiosity with this unique treat dispenser. Filled with your cat”s favorite treats the dispenser creates an unpredictable roll that engages the cat to chase it.
This is a bit trickier than the standard food ball. The food/treats sit in the clear sphere for you cat to see, however they don’t just freely fall out of an opening in the toy like some easier designs. The centre of the toy has a large tube through the core of it and at the bottom of that core, there is a single opening. Your pet will need to get some food into the opening at the bottom and then tip the ball to let the reward out.
Available only in pink currently.
Suitable for cats and for large parrots! See the videos of my own Corella using the toy in her foraging tray.
Planet Pleasures Dumbell Foot Toy
$6.50The Dumbell foot toy by Planet Pleasures is made with all bird safe and natural parts. There’s dried bamboo stalk, woven palm leaf with natural stuffing inside the ends for your parrot to delight in chewing at and a disc of bamboo around the toy to move back and forth.
The foot toy measures 11 x 3cm and is great for medium to large parrots.
Corner Shelf – Powder Coated
$47.00Corner shelves are a great way to utilise space that may be otherwise difficult to make fun! Pop this platform high up in your birds cage as a nice roosting spot or at another level, with foot toys as a play area for your parrot. It can also be handy to place this near to a bolt-on foraging toy to provide access to that level of the cage.
The bars and sides of the platform are powder-coated. It attaches to the cage with a combination of bolts, washers and wingnuts and will fit most cage and aviary bars. You can line the platform with a seagrass mat, native bark or similar if you’d like a more natural feel.
