Frequently Asked Questions

Enrichment, safety and sizing — the things our customers ask about most.

How do I know a toy is the right size for my bird?

Every listing names the bird sizes it suits: small covers budgies and lovebirds, medium covers cockatiels and conures, large covers amazons, african greys and macaws. The risk with an undersized toy is not that it wears out quickly — it is that a larger beak turns it into swallowable pieces.

Are the materials safe to chew?

Materials are listed on every page. We stock untreated wood, seagrass, corn husk, sola and vegetable-dyed components, with stainless or nickel-plated hardware. Where a component carries a coating or a dye, the listing states it.

How often should toys be replaced?

Shreddable toys are meant to be destroyed and replacing them often is the point. Hardwood and stainless items last far longer. Replace anything immediately if a bell has split, a rope has frayed into loops, or a chewed edge has become sharp — those three account for most cage injuries.

Why does my bird ignore a new toy?

Many parrots treat anything new as a threat for a few days. Hang it outside the cage where the bird can see it, then move it in beside a favourite perch rather than replacing that perch. Rotating a small set of toys works better than leaving everything in permanently.

What is foraging and why does it matter?

Foraging is the searching-and-working part of how a wild parrot spends its day. A foraging toy makes the bird work for something rather than take it from a bowl, and it is the single most effective answer to cage boredom and feather-plucking behaviour.

Can I return something my bird will not use?

Unused items in original packaging can be returned within the window set out on the Return & Refund Policy page. For hygiene reasons a toy that has been in a cage cannot go back into stock, so please try the introduction steps above first.

How long does delivery take?

Handling and transit times and the daily cut-off are set out on the Shipping Policy page, and a tracking link is emailed when your order is dispatched.

Do you ship outside the United States?

No — we ship within the United States only, in US dollars.
