I was looking for foraging toys for my foster B&G Macaw and saw this. Once I learned how to fill it, he’s had a blast, both turning the rings and grabbing it by the top link and shaking it to get out treats. He loves working with it and getting it to give up whatever I’ve put inside it. I have it hanging in the middle of his cage so he can’t smash it against the bars. I would definitely recommend this to help keep an intelligent bird busy and happy.

I was given this as a gift by a friend whose birds were ‘to small’ to turn the rings. However, my medium sized parrot has just as much difficulty turning the rings. He’s usually able to get treats out of the bottom ring, or if I cheat and line them up in a way that very little turning is needed, but it still takes time, which I guess is a good thing because it keeps him engaged. This toy would get 5 Stars if it was designed in a way to turn more smoothly. I have to admit, I had some trouble turning them myself sometimes. The problem can be fixed to an extent, by loosening the screw that keeps it all together. I discovered this after taking the entire thing apart to wash. However, this won’t fix the entire problem. Recommended for larger birds only.

This toy is very well made. My Umbrella Cockatoo has not harmed it….BUT he figured it out in two days and can now solve it in 30 seconds or so. Great toy and concept, but definely a no brainer
