Tropical Chickens Bird Parrot Toys, Enrichment Rattle Bells, Barbell for Conures, Green Cheek, for Smaller Birds Foraging Foot Talon Toy (2X)

This is my budgie's all time favorite toy!!! He always runs right over every time he hears the very unique and soothing sound these rattles make. My only dilimea is Birby is a very vicious with his toys and will constantly throw them with great velocity. As such after a year of constantly throwing and having me pick them back up again, my first rattle shattered after crashing into the ground for the 1,000th time. This is by no means a fault of the product quality, as they are very well made and sturdy! That being said, you now have a loyal customer as Birby loves these toys too much. I must always have a spare.Summary:I would highly recommend these to anyone who has a small budgie/parakeet. The sound is very soothing for birds, and If you are wanting a toy you can hold and play with your bird one-on-one, this toy is perfect! Do be careful if your bird likes to viciously throw things from high places to hard floors however.... The rattles are VERY resilient, and can survive many crashes, just not infinitely.

I purchased these because I have a small, 195 gram Hawkhead parrot who is not really a chewer and expected these to withstand her playing but the first time she chomped down on it she broke open the outer ball. The description uses the word "parrot" but I cant see this standing up to anything but a baby parrot or conure. More for buggies and tiels.It's a great toy if your bird has a tiny beak.UPDATE 6/18/19I'm updating my rating based on Tropical Chickens customer service. I wrote my somewhat critical review because I felt they should be more specific about the size of the bird that this toy is good for and that is still valid.I was not looking for any compensation and then out of nowhere I get a package in the mail today from Tropical Chickens with a toy that my bird will be able to use. That is great customer service and demonstrates that Tropical Chickens is concerned about what their customer think. I won't hesitate to purchase something else from them if the need arises.Thanks Tropical Chickens!

My conure, Tangie, loves it. I can be in another room and hear her playing with it. I have it dropped down from the top so one ball is out of the cage and the stem in the other part, the second ball is in the cage. I can hear her beating it up rattling it and her talking to it and making chirping sounds towards it. She really hasn’t been one for toys but this toy is a knockout. I’m glad I got two. I may give one to a friend who has a lineolated parakeet. This toy is a good size for them as well hanging down from the roof or setting it up so it’s some sort of stand. I would think a bigger bird would break it. But I am so glad I bought it for my girl and she finally has a toy to play with. The four stars for sturdiness is my concern about how long it will be before it breaks. She is rough with it and it is a plastic toy. Time will tell.

Let me start by saying .. this toy is LOUD! Our 7 month old Caique baby loves this toy so much. She was startling the other birds because she likes throwing it and it makes a loud sound when it hits the bottom of the cage BUT you can detach the balls, which is great because it’s easy to hook onto the cage that way. With that being said, be careful because it’s not super sturdy. Hei Hei was standing and hanging from it which freaked me out. It held her weight surprisingly, but I still wouldn’t hang it too high up. I took one ball off and she holds the toy like a mic, and rolls the free ball around as well. Overall it’s a really great toy but only if you can tolerate loud rattling / bell noises. Our cockatiels are afraid of it but the conures and Hei Hei the chicken (Caique) loves it. Would definitely recommend for active, playful medium sized birds who don’t destroy toys quickly.

I've been following Tropical Chickens on Instagram for a while now. When I saw that they were releasing a toy, I knew it would be great, and I knew I definitely wanted it for my green cheek conure. There's no one I know that's quite as dedicated to their flock as they are!First of all, the packaging was cute, and I absolutely love the Tropical Chickens logo. I let my conure play around with the rattles, and he's not used to the jingling of the bells, but he's definitely getting a lot more exercise by throwing it around and running away from it! I love the idea that the balls are detachable from the rattle, definitely nothing like I've personally ever seen in a bird toy. It's my second day of letting him play with it, and he's already loving it!

Still working on getting my girl to not be afraid of the rattles, she's a rescue so is only warming up to the idea that new things from me are GOOD! She's very interested in the shredded and crinkled paper it was packed in and the small box with the shredded paper and the rattles would be an oh-so-fun package for a bird to open itself - my girl just isn't there yet. I've stuffed the rattle heads with some of the paper crinkles and after three nights of ignoring all this during our play sessions she has started to play with the crinkled paper and no longer ducks when I touch the rattles. We'll get there!!

So, my conure has a new favorite toy!!! Most bird toys seem to be of the "hanging from the top of the cage" variety, but my cockatiel and conure spend a significant amount of time playing on a table. I had to resort to buying [heaven forbid] cat toys to entertain my feathered friends. They now each have their own bird sized toy of their own!These rattle bells were an instant hit! Now the joyful rattle of these magnificent toys ring through the house. If only there was a way to dampen the sound before 7 AM....or if I could convince a pair of birds to sleep in...

The media could not be loaded.  Big hit with my green cheek conure! He plays with these constantly. Loud jingly noise and plenty of toe dexterity make for a happy screeching bird. I’ve tied one to some bird-safe netting for extra fun.Adorable packaging with lots of shreddable paper for your bird.Unfortunately, they do break, so I am down to 1 after the other snapped on the ground.
