Original Foraging Wheel - Interactive Creative Parrot Toy Reviews

4 Rating 48 Reviews

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 2 african greys go through their toys very quickly so I bought this to keep them amused. They love it and do squabble over who's turn it is . They figured it out after a couple of weeks but I like all the compartments as I can put in different nuts and some bread sticks . Kiwi takes time lining up the slot to her favorite nut but then Mango comes along and spins the handle randomly its very funny to watch . I use to leave it in all the time and fill it once a day but Kiwi figured out how to un hook it and would throw it to the ground if it was empty. I now put it in at night time when I want them to go back inside their cage which use to be a big mission of me chasing them around the room as they kept on flying now when I put this back in, They climb back into their cage on their own straight away worth the money just for this . I am scared they will break it and its not easy to clean which is a shame but I would recommend it .”

“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!”
