Sola Plant Stems
Sola is the lightest wood in the world and is even softer than balsa! A similar texture to popcorn, you can dint it with your nail, so small parrots love chewing at the satisfying pieces. Because these stems are so light, they can be easily held as foot toys. Sola is safe for all Parrot breeds as well as Guinea Pigs, Rats and Rabbits. While they may be quickly destroyed by larger or very destructive parrots, they will have a blast with these affordable treats!
As a natural product, each item does vary. Sola Plant Stems measure roughly 10cm long and 2 to 2.5cm in diameter. These are listed individually, so you can purchase the quantity that you want in plain, dyed and bark options. The coloured option is dyed by me in Australia, using food safe dyes and a careful drying process.
Wanting to purchase in ‘bulk’? See this product for packs of 25 (plain and bark). Also check out the new Small, Regular and Large Sola Balls for more Sola to chew! Lastly, 6 packs of slightly larger Sola Stems that are dyed in brighter colours can be found HERE.

Six stars!! This has been an absolute life-saver for us. We thought we were ‘sitting ducks’ when Kirsty announced the ‘sitting pretty’ toy was being discontinued by the company making it. I bought the individual pieces after reading the description and even copied the suggestion of threading it onto our metal hanging skewers. It’s been a complete success. My two lorikeets couldn’t wait to get to them, even sticking their heads into the bag where they were packed. I can say 100% they are happy munching away and have entertained themselves with these pieces. I would say it’s even better than the original toy as there’s no plastic waste from bits they don’t chew. I’ll definitely be buying more and will attempt to make my own toys. Super recommended for any bird who likes to seed, tear or chew!!

Made a couple toys out of these and they are THE BEST! I couldn’t get my lorikeet to chew on anything besides their plastic cat ball, but after showing them how it worked by breaking a price off they were obsessed with it. I’m so happy with this product!
