RUBY.Q Wooden Bird Chewing Toys, 2 Pack, 20 in

Two large bird toys made of wood, cotton and stainless steel give a parrot something to chew on, and each one measures 20 in from top to bottom. The pack is listed for African grey cockatoos, macaws, and large and medium birds, and the top hook on each toy attaches to the top of the birdcage. Together the two toys weigh 3 lb.

What the pack contains

• 2 large parrot toys, each 20 in long
• An active hook on the top of each toy for hanging it from the cage
• Wood, cotton rope and stainless steel parts
• Food-grade colouring on the wooden pieces

Water and colour

The colouring on these wooden bird toys fades when the pieces get wet. Wash the wooden parts by hand only, and wipe the stainless steel parts rather than soaking them. A wipe-down keeps the colours as they arrived.

How each toy is put together

RUBY.Q lists these parrot chewing toys as completely handmade, with natural wood and cotton rope forming the body of each one and stainless steel in the fittings. The manufacturer describes them as bite-resistant and durable, which speaks to how the wood and rope are put together rather than to any guarantee. Each toy is a consumable item, and the maker notes that a parrot's biting force is stronger than a person's. The food-grade colouring gives the wooden pieces their colour, and all three materials sit in one toy of 20 in. Colours vary across the two pieces, so the pair is colourful rather than matched.

Matching a toy to a bird and a cage

This large bird toy is aimed at African grey cockatoos, macaws, and large and medium birds, so check your bird against that list before ordering. The manufacturer says the toy can be installed in almost any cage, and each one hangs by its active hook from the top of the birdcage. At 20 in long, measure the drop from the cage top to the highest perch or feed bowl so the toy hangs clear. The 3 lb pack weight covers two toys, and the maker classes them as a consumable item.
