Best Toy for Busy Budgies!
My parakeets / budgies LOVE to shred these! They keep the birds entertained and active. Theyâre just soft enough for small birds, yet they last a long time. The natural fiber rope is pre-looped, which is super convenient, and it is also nice and long, making it easy to adjust. I have them on subscribe & save so I never run out (because I will hear about it from the birds if I donât! ð¤£).

my bird loves this
This is an awesome Bird toy its size is decent with seven pieces at about an inch wide and half an inch thick seven of those pieces the softness is unmatched with it being firm enough that birds wonât shred it instantly but being soft enough that they wonât hurt their beak and they can shred it. Itâs super safe and has no pokey spikes or anything like that so it wonât hurt your bird so you donât have to worry about any of that and the birds can ingest it because the fibers are not small, itâs entertainment value two weeks The durability is nice and wonât crumble and is super easy to use. You can just take it out of the package and hang it up instantly no prep to do.

My birds favorite toy
My cockatiels RUN through these. They chew them up and shred them pretty fast. Sometimes they will chew through one side and a chunk of the wood falls to the bottom of the cage. At that point I just add the chunk to their out of cage forage tray.The wood is nice and soft so it’s easy to tear apart like Sola. My birds love them and they are my boy Jade’s favorite toy.Only problem really is that I don’t like how long the string is. Feels like it could be a hazard, but I could be wrong.Overall highly recommend as a perfectly shreddable toy.

Best for Small Hookbill Chewers
Our cockatiels and conure love these toys! They shred and then play with the pieces on the floor for hours. The only chewing toys they donât lose interest in. And I love that they are a natural toy and safe for the birds to chew on.

Great bird toy
These things are great although with our parrot, they donât last too long, but thatâs to be expected.

Great but crazy expensive
My birds love these but I detect a little price gouging

Our parrot loves messing with the kabob as it dangles in his cage. Keeps him occupied. Fun to watch.
Unfortunately, product was misdelivered. Went to the next building over. I figured it out by looking at the delivered to your door picture. Lucky guess so I checked the two neighboring blds. The second building had it resting at their door. Otherwise, no prob. Doesnât usually happen.

Birds love this
My birds always love to rip these up. Great toy for budgies since itâs softer!

I have two birds and I need two buy items with budgie treats and food in bulk. More items of general every day needs are very important.

See pictures – Unfortunately upon further inspection some parts were dark and black vs being a more pale wood. After doing some research online I realized this is mold. So just be careful and watch out for this; other than that I’ve heard good things about this toy.
