The Foraging Wheel is one step up from the entry level Foraging Sphere Toy. It attaches to the side of the cage with ease. The wheel has prongs which fit in the gaps of the cage bars. Once positioned you screw the nut part on.
The wheel has five compartments, watch as your bird has to spin the wheel to collect their treats from the small hole at the front. If your Parrot is new to foraging toys, let them watch you place the treats inside.

“My African Grey worked this out ver easily and it did keep him happy. I was very dissapointed at paying ú22.00 for an item that was easily distroyed in three weeks. This is definitely not suitable for African Greys unless they change the material that it is made with. It is difficult to fill with the treats too. Having to remove it from the cage. Having a large cage this really requires two to do this.”

“The wheel is well made and easy to fill. It does seem a bit easy though and my bird worked it out really quickly. Because it can only be attached to the sides of the cage there isn't really that many options for making it more entertaining.”

“The toy is what you see and keeps the parrots busy. I bought two of these, and the plastic screw in the back broke straight the first day which I fixed with superglue. Also parrots usually figure out how to loose the toy and throw it to the ground. The toy is great but perhaps better finished would be needed.”

“I'm a little undecided on this one. It does keep her busy for 20 minutes or so at a time, but for my Congo African Grey, the holes are too small I think, and so far, she more often than not gives up before she was able to get her treat out. I'm worried that she will get frustrated with it. She figured it out fairly quickly and can turn the wheel ok. I would definitely recommend this for a smaller bird though.”

“my blue front amzon loves this wheel, i put some of her kaytee pellets in it every day and she keeps going until she's emptied it. I put paper in too sometimes to make it more difficult to get the food out but she still gets there in the end lol.”

“I have recently purchased this wheel for my African Grey as he easily gets bored and I was looking for something to keep him occupied while I am out of the house.It is very easy to attach to the cage and has a quick release catch to make removing from the cage simple.My TAG took to it straight away and spends hours twisting the handle to get to his favourite treats. I usually fill it with nutriberries, dried fruits and various nuts.Definately a winner here!”

“I have two african greys who absolutely love foraging toys. I have yet to find one that they have not destroyed within 2 weeks. This has held up longer than most!After emptying it of treats the "proper" way they proceeded to unscrew the wheel. You need to do this when filling it with treats and it was probably my mistake doing it in front of them! This meant it came crashing to the ground and the very small nut on the back was lost forever. Spent 3 days looking for it with two very satisfied little greys watching me crawl about on me hands and knees.Now in the process of finding a nut that fits the toy.Would recommend this to less destructive birds.”
