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.
Birdy Vine Ball Lollipop (Christmas Themed)
$1.70Now making ‘Christmas-themed’ colours in these popular foot toys!
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. Red and green items will be used for these Christmas-themed toys. There is a yellow or orange 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. First (main) photo shows the recent Christmas ones I’ve made. Other photos of my own birds show the normal version, with variable colours, in use.

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. 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.
As of 6th December 2018, these have sold out. More stock is due to arrive mid to late December and you can pre-order now to have your order sent as soon as they arrive.

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.

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.

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.

Hide n Seek Refill
$8.30A fun pack of safe, shreddable items for your bird to enjoy!

The pack comes with a decent handful of timber cubes in a variety of natural and coloured, 2 x vine balls measuring roughly 3 to 4cm in diameter that are normally natural/uncoloured (but sometimes come coloured) and a lovely mix of raffia rope pieces, which are fantastic for preening.
All coloured items are dyed using bird safe food dyes.
This item does not include the blue Hide N Seek toy/holder.
Hide-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 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 accomodate requests.

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.
