"I thought this toy would be good for one of my smaller birds. As it turned out, no such luck. So, I gave it to my Cockatoo and she loved it! Chewed the wood and pulled the streamers. Kept her entertained. Lasted longer than I thought it would too."

— Addy the dachshund

"Cute bird toy but it didn't come with any way to hang it. We put it on bottom of cage until we found some way to hang it. Budgies didn't really know what to do with it on the ground. We eventually hung it with a string and they were happier."

Bottom Line

Great entertainment for birds, especially larger species, though small assembly issues might arise. Overall great value for money.
