Help Choosing a Bird Toy

To help you choose the right size perch, bird toy, or other bird supplies, we try to give you the dimensions such as width, length, diameter, or overall size of an item to help you know whether it will work for your bird. We have also provided a key legend at the bottom of most items to help you decide if it is the right size for your bird.

However birds are individuals and can vary in size, so if you are unsure of an item, please email us and we will be happy to help you choose the right size item for your particular bird.

IMPORTANT!!! Our toy size guide should be used only as a guide to help you choose appropriate size toys for your bird. It does not guarantee any toy is perfect for your particular bird. If you bird a rough and tumble kind of playful bird, then choosing toys for larger size birds might be more appropriate. If your bird plays very gently with its toys, you may find some of the smaller size toys also appropriate for your particular bird. Always supervise your bird with any new toy to be sure it is safe and appropriate for your bird.

***The average large cockatoo or macaw can have approximately 500 pounds of bite pressure per square inch, and a Hyacinth as much as 1,000 pounds of bite pressure per square inch. It is important to always supervise and observe your parrot with any new toy to be sure it is appropriate for your particular parrot as some parrots are rougher than others when playing.

Please note that bird toys are non-returnable items as they can not be disinfected. If you are not sure of the correct size for your bird, please give us a call at our store Tuesday through Friday between 10:00 and 5:00 central time at 256-341-0404, or use our very easy contact form shown at the top of our site.
