A collection of foraging and chewing toys that I have selected as suitable for all Lorikeet and Lory species (eg Rainbow, Scaly Breasted, Black Capped etc). There’s also perching options and other products for these colourful characters in this section.
Superbird Basket Case (New)
This is a great, chewable toy that will help to keep your parrot amused. With lots of colourful crinkly paper trapped within 2 cane baskets, what's not to love! There's a coloured vine star tied to either side of the toy with seagrass rope and a dingly bell at the bottom. The toy can be opened (by removing a few plastic c links) for your birds' treats or beads to be hidden inside and to refill it with crinkly paper. The toy measures 28cm long, 13cm wide and 17cm deep. It hangs from nickel plated pear clip. The Basket Case has been a long time favourite here. In July 2018 it has had a slight update. The design and price are the same, however the basket has changed its' looks just a little. The new item is pictured. The old basket was plain in colour.$17.40or 4 payments of $4.35 with Afterpay
Jungle Vine Sisal Perch 50 x 2cm
The Jungle Vine Sisal Perch, by Polly's Pet Products is made with sisal rope, that is much safer for your parrot than cotton rope items. This quality product can be attached horizontally, vertically or diagonally to suit your birds' cage and play style. While this item does not have wire inside to be able to create crazy shapes, you can manipulate it and attach it to your birds' cage bars in a position that suits. The 2cm rope diameter is suitable for small parrot species. It attaches to the cage at each end with a bolt and wing nut set, with large (5cm) diameter washers in between. It will fit most cage and aviary bars. The rope section of this perch is 42cm long and it is attached into pvc pipe parts, with a total length of 50cm. While sisal rope is significantly safer than cotton and synthetic fibres, it is still important to monitor your bird with any new toy to ensure they are using it correctly and not chewing it excessively. Sisal rope that is accidentally consumed in small amounts (through normal chewing and preening) will break down and digest, however if large amounts are consumed in a short time, it still has the potential to cause a blockage.Due to the packaging rubbing during shipping from America, I will normally remove the product tags, which are zip tied onto the perch and can be hard to remove without risking cutting the perch if just using household scissors. Additional photos show this perch compared to the larger size. Check out my store for the larger size. The manufacturer doesn't currently make this smaller rope diameter in a longer perch, I have requested this and will see what the bring us in the future.$19.90or 4 payments of $4.98 with Afterpay

Balsa Heaven
Balsa 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.$14.50Medium Natural Swing
This natural swing is made to suit small to medium parrots. An individual or pair of Cockatiels, Conures, Quakers, Lorikeets or Caiques could comfortably use this swing, or an individual Indian Ringneck, Alexandrine or Mini Macaw. One of the most popular of the original "Kirsty's Natural Bird Toys", this toy is handmade and has a natural branch perch that is 20-25cm wide, 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 one of these swings. It hangs from a short length of stainless steel chain and small 'O' ring to attach a hanging link to. I also make these in small, large and extra large to suit a wide range of bird breeds. 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.$19.00or 4 payments of $4.75 with Afterpay

Corner Shelf – Powder Coated
Corner 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. Popular with able-bodied and handicapped birds, it provides a nice spot to 'chill out'. The bars and sides of the platform are powder-coated. It attaches to the cage with bolts and rectangular 'washers' and will fit most cage and aviary bars. See the last 4 photos for an example of the corner shelf set up in a small, travel cage that has horizontal bars on one side and vertical bars on the other. The bolt with the fixed wingnut head screws straight into the hole in the corner shelf, eliminating the need for loose parts on the inside and outside of the cage. The shelf has a large 'lip' on the curved edge. It is pictured with the lip facing downwards, however it can also be positioned the other way, with the lip facing up. This would hold small items like foot toys on the shelf (until your bird throws them over the edge). I also offer the option of adding a piece of woven seagrass mat onto the platform for a chewable, safe & comfy perching spot for your bird. Replacements can be purchased separately for once the mat gets chewed. I use seagrass mats from Bunnings, that I wash and then soak in F10 veterinary disinfectant. They are thoroughly sun dried then cut to size, using a few small zip ties to stop the cut ends from fraying. The seagrass mat is then attached to the Sundeck with a few more small zip ties.You can choose to make these seagrass covers yourself, how it's recommended to wash the mats well before use.$47.00or 4 payments of $11.75 with Afterpay
Foraging Dish Starter Pack
A large rectangular plastic dish with metal hooks to attach to the bars of the cage. This is a large dish that makes a great foraging tray and is great for birds that don't like to be down low/on the ground of their cage. It comes with a 500g pack of bird safe foraging substrate to get you started. Please introduce the concept of foraging for food gradually to your birds. Feel free to contact me to discuss if you need assistance with this. The rectangular dish measures 23cm wide, 12.5cm deep and is 7cm tall, it is suitable for most breeds of parrot, but particularly small and medium birds. The hook on attachment suits most cage bars.$11.30Birdy Vine Ball Lollipop
A cute little foot toy that is fun to chew. This toy is handmade by me, with a rolled paper stick and a 2cm vine ball, both are coloured with food safe dyes. There is a butterfly or star bead at the top of the toy and pony bead at the bottom, to hold the vine ball in place. While the beads are fixed, the vine ball can move around a bit. This toy is great for a foraging treat too, put a dry treat inside the vine ball for your bird to retrieve. They are quite light which makes them suitable for small parrots. I hand make these in a variety of colours, using both star beads and butterfly beads at the top. A random colour will be chosen for you, though you can request preferences in your order notes.$1.70Birdy Bagel Firecracker
The new Birdy Bagel Firecracker is a toy handmade by me to meet your small parrots' chewing and preening desires! With a 10cm birdy bagel as the base, a dozen finger traps each held on with a birdy bagel bite and with shredded crinkly paper stuffed in the end of each bagel, it's got plenty to chew! The toy measures 20cm wide and 25cm tall. It is fantastic for Budgies through to Indian Ringnecks. It hangs from a stainless steel chain and you can choose a hanging link to suit. Triangle link at the base is nickel plated as I cannot source stainless steel ones.$18.00or 4 payments of $4.50 with Afterpay
Holy Gumballs
Holy 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.$19.70or 4 payments of $4.93 with Afterpay
Cane Basket Forager
The new Cane Basket Forager is a toy handmade by me! An easy toy to introduce to your small parrot who is beginning to forage. Partially fill the basket with some bird-safe foraging substrate and sprinkle some pellets, millet or other treat on top then watch your bird swinging in the basket while retrieving their goodies. You can also put foraging surprises in the large 8cm vine ball at the top. The toy measures 20cm wide and 25cm tall. It is fantastic for Budgies through to Indian Ringnecks. It hangs from 3mm plastic chain and stainless steel wire. A loop is made in the wire, for you to attach your chosen hanging link from. All plastic 'C' links on the toy are closed off with a straw bead for safety. This toy isn't suitable for large parrots or those who particularly like to chew through plastic.$18.10or 4 payments of $4.53 with Afterpay
Hide-a-Treat Forager (2 Sizes)
A simple foraging toy for parrots, 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 Cockatiels 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 your colour preferences in order notes. I will do my best to accommodate requests.$18.80 – $28.90or 4 payments from $4.70 with Afterpay
Various Yucca Pieces (5)
A selection of 5 various pieces of Yucca. Yucca is a type of plant and these pieces of dried plant stalk are bird safe, soft and chewable. Parrots, small and large love munching on the soft, fibrous natural material. It's great to give as a foot toy or thread onto other toys. You can poke a hole with skewer, wire or scissors and hang it in your birds' cage. By making small holes in the Yucca and pushing dry food treats into it, you can make this a foraging foot toy also.
