SunGrow Parrot Toy – Bird Foraging & Chew Toy with Wooden Blocks and Cotton Rope, Hanging Cage Accessory for Conures, Budgies, Parakeets & Other Small Birds

My lovely wife bought me a Timneh African Grey Parrot about 30 years ago. Socrates was a beautiful little chick who used to take masticated food out of my mouth at feeding time. He absolutely loved me! But then he (she) laid an egg and we realized that we had a female although he had supposedly been sexed as a male. Somewhere in her second year with us she directed her love to my wife and became angry with me. We don't know why, but I ended up being bitten numerous times before I stopped reaching into her cage to pet her. Try as I might I couldn't get her to favor me as she had originally. Not long after that she started plucking her chest feathers. Bored birds are known to do that and fortunately she only concentrated on her chest. If you have ever been to a parrot sanctuary you will see that it is not uncommon to find a few birds that are virtually fully plucked. They often show other unusual behaviors and the combination results in owners giving up their birds to a sanctuary. Either they didn't know what they were doing wrong or just got tired of trying to work things out. To deal with our plucking problem we switched her food to Lafeber Nutriberries along with fresh fruit and veggies. We also spray her with water every day and let her sit in the sun for 30 minutes to absorb some Vitamin D. We added a section of PVC pipe for her to nest in and every other day we put an empty box in her cage for her to tear up. We also take her out at night so that she can sit on a perch and glare at me to her heart's content. Finding a toy that she liked has been problematic. Most of them sit unattended in a corner of her cage until we take it out and fasten it to her night-time perch. Therefore we expected her to reject this SunGrow Chewing Toy and simply watched and hoped for the best. It took her two days to get to it but now she spends a good amount of time analyzing it and tearing pieces off. Obviously it's a winner for her and at only $11.95 it's a winner for us. This is a great choice for a finicky parrot.

My CAG loves this toy and IMMEDIATELY started chewing and playing with it when I hung it in her cage. I’ve never seen her go for a toy like she does this one, so once she succeeds in demolishing it I’ll be getting her another one! We’ve had it hanging for about a week now and although she has thoroughly decorated the bottom of her cage with pieces of this, there is still a ton of life left in it. It’s bigger than I expected, which makes it an even better value at $13... and I also appreciate that it comes with a clip to hang it. I (and she) would recommend this toy for sure!

Great for my very destructive birds, even though they’re little, they’re very destructive, keeps them entertained until they tear it apart

My bird loves this story. It is very durable.

Parrots love them

Awesome fun toy for our Yellow Naped Amazon ! Lots of bright colors which he loves. Lots of small ropes but not knotted so I took a few minutes to knot them all because he'd pull them off within seconds otherwise. Quality is good, could have used sturdier blocks because he's split them in half in minutes. Overall a great toy and I would buy again.

I've ordered several other bird toys off of Amazon and have had some issues with size as many stores show a large bird playing with the toy but when I receive the toy it is actually not anywhere near close to the size it appeared to be next to the image of a photoshopped large parrot. It was not the case for this one. It was exactly what I thought it would be and the quality is good. My bird hasn't played with it much yet, but she will. I would recommend!

Looks great to me, but for some reason is not attractive to their parrot eyes. Hence 3 stars.

Great for the price. Was going to use it for our Lorikeet but put it in our Eclectus cage instead.

Il mio cenerino lo ama. Ne comprerò sicuramente un altro

For the price I was expecting it to be smaller and a bit naff but it's big and really generous with the materials, will defo buy another once delilah has finished with this one

Très bien.

Met dit speelgoed heeft hij het goed naar zijn zin
