I know some members on here already have one of these and I am sure they will agree.... that this is one of the best inventions ever LOL. Couple of days ago, I was in a bird shop and stumbled across one. I was going to order one online, but lucky me there was no need :D. Eddie is absolutely obsessed with it. He has other foraging toys and I also make many for him, but he figures them out so quickly and the fun only lasts 5 minutes. He has been at this one for hours and loving it!. I highly recommended this toy and similar sorts of toys! They make your bird 'think' and use its natural intellect :).

Many places online have them, I know our good friends at thepamperedparrot.com stock them. I wonder if there are smaller ones available somewhere, my tiel would like one i'm sure, but this one is too big for her :(. There were some other smaller foraging toys down at the shop which I was looking at, I will JUST have to go back and check them out again (I love saying hello to all the lovely parrots down there ;))

I am DEAD SERIOUS when I say that I cant find ANY shops with foraging toys! The overseas ones are not to crazy about posting to SA either.:(

I was actually surprised to find it here, especially the exact one I wanted, right brand and all! I didn't go to this shop looking for it, by chance they had just done up a whole new section and added some new stock, Yippee!!! They do make you empty your wallet for it though :(, but its like that with all birds stuff here, very few places stock bird supplies.

Rosie loves this one. She tries to hard to get the treats out I think she may get it off the cage at times. I did loose the little screw and went to the hardware store but was told they use a special one in the wheel that cannot be duplicated.

Yea it is a special bolt that they use with a long shank on it and only a tiny bit of thread. I reckon you could easily 'fluff' something to replace it, but might take a little imagination :D.

Gotcha Jess, I know where to get them....... Just ask "bird brain" okay
Will check if they still have stock, and post one to you, and give one to Linky ;)
The one below, keeps Mishi occupied for hours, sometimes I fill it with treats, other times with pieces of cardboard

I also lost the screws SB, the middle screw went missing.
Tried 3 hardware stores Like they say 3rd time lucky

Wow, that looks sooo much fun!!!! :D Oh not for the birds, for me ;) Beside a little too big for my fids. They'd have a hard time using it unless they make smaller sizes.

That is great, AB!

I'm with bobert on this one. When I finally find the right CAG again, he is going to have one of these, for sure.
