Balsa Munch Sticks (5 or 40)

Balsa Munch Sticks are skinny, square sticks of soft balsa wood that are useful as a toy part or given to your bird as a light foot toy to chew. Mix them into a foraging tray, stuff into a basket or foraging holder or peg them against the cage bars to give your bird a satisfying chew stick (see Stainless Steel Pegs). You can carefully puncture these square sticks with a thin metal skewer, strong piece of wire or with a small drill bit to thread onto wire to make a toy. These sticks are too narrow to thread onto a typical bird toy skewer.

Each Square Stick measures 10cm long and roughly 6mm wide.

There are now lots of sizes of Balsa items available, including Matchsticks, Mini Bricks, Square Sticks, Slats and Whole Balsa Logs, as well as the range of toys that I make with these parts. Search “balsa” to see the whole range!
