Birdy Vine Ball Lollipop
$1.70A 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 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.

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.

The toy measures 20cm wide and 25cm tall. It is fantastic for Budgies through to Indian Ringnecks. It hangs from 3mm plastic chain and a stainless steel wire and comes with a hanging link, though you can choose if you’d like a nickel plated or stainless steel one.

Hanging Buffet Ball (3″) on Kabob
$35.00This 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! The tray also catches small pieces of food for your bird to come back to later.
The Buffet Ball can be filled whilst on the hanging bar or completely removed and even used separately. All pieces come apart for easy cleaning and changing. The small ball attachment at the bottom is secured onto the pole by the threaded stainless steel inset into the ball. The Buffet Ball and tray of this toy are made from tough polycarbonate with stainless steel hardware to hold up against even the tougher beaks.
The ball measures 9cm in diameter and each of the 12 slots (6 per half) is about 4cm long and 8-12mm wide. The whole toy hangs 37cm tall, including the quick link and the stainless steel skewer measures 8mm thick.The individual 3″ and 5″ foraging balls are also available in my store.

5 Yucca Slices
$5.00A selection of 5 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.
You will receive a pack of 5 pieces, as pictured – 2 discs, 2 quarter pieces and a half piece. The half is from a larger disc so is a decent size and all slices are roughly 2cm thick. These can all be cut to smaller pieces easily with a stanley blade so can make more than 5 pieces. As a natural item, the pieces do vary and can have ‘imperfections’ and areas of different colours.
These yucca slices have come from the ‘Bird Kabob’ 20 pack (shown below), which I have opened and divided into even packs of 5 pieces each for those wanting to try a smaller amount.
The last photo is an example of how food can be stuck in the yucca.

Natives in the area Yucca grows, cook and eat the yucca root. Yucca is found in other toys in my store and in pieces as a foot toy or toy part. It is natural and safe! This toy measures 35cm long and 15.5cm wide and hangs from a nickel plated pear clip. -
