A collection of foraging and chewing toys that I have selected as suitable for Lovebirds There’s also perching options and other products for Lovebirds in this section.
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.$0.50Daisy Ring
A great new toy by Super Bird Creations, this is a small hanging wreath with lots of coloured vine balls and cute daisy flowers. In the middle there is a bell and it all hangs from a nickel plated pear clip. The Daisy Ring measures 15cm tall, including the pear clip and 11cm wide.$12.90Superbird Basket Case
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 overall 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.$18.00or 4 payments of $4.50 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 is a very soft timber that is satisfying to chew and is a favourite for many small parrots.

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

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.$13.00
