“Fabulous toy - Rambo, my Red Lored Amazon, took to it straight away, trying to get the bits of paper and treats I placed into the ball. She enjoys spinning the ball and trying to get the items out of the ball. Keeps her occupied.”

“A great all round toy, the buffet ball is built to be instructable!I must of dropped it several times and it's still going without a scratch so it can withstand some hardy beaks.When it first arrived embarrassingly I couldn't work out how to open it myself and had to seek help from other parrot lovers but once I worked it out it was a breeze.They are fun to fill, we even thread paper in and out of the gaps to add a extra edge of foraging, all our birds enjoy it even budgies, though their little beaks are a big advantage into getting out any goodies!The mount is handy for collecting mess and some of my birds even sit on it!I love that's it's made of stainless steel and would will buy more in the future”

“My grey LOVES this toy! It was a bit bigger and sturdy than I expected! I had to remove one of the fruit bowls in the cage to make space for this amazing creation. My grey is very clever and has had no trouble removing the clips on the foraging wheel, sphere, fruit kabobs etc. But this one is literally impossible to remove, but however if your parrot does remove the toy there is no harm done as the feeder itself is indestructable lol. The top is released by pressing the pin (which I had trouble doing at first because I did'nt read the instructions!)What I love about this toy is it is very versatile and unique! You can use it as a feeding station or a toy! Here are some ideas if you plan to get this:1. Remove ball and place a whole apple on the tray and use as a fruit kabob! No waste as the food drops onto the tray! Try other fruits too!2. Remove ball and replace with the Seek 'n' Find foraging boxes!3. Remove ball and thread some toys on there! (ie: wood, paper, till rolls, different coloured plastic links, hoops are fun too!)4. If you want to hide small treats but it keeps falling out of the holes in the ball just remove the ball and replace with a empty yoghurt pot/plastic cup and turn it upside down and hide treats in there!5. IF YOU DON'T MIND A LITTLE MESS. You could drill a hole at the bottom of a empty yoghurt pot then place it on the tray and then scoop some yoghurt in and watch your parrot feed themselves! No need to worry about your parrot tossing the pot out and it is securely held in place on the holder! (please keep yoghurt to a minimum though, it's really for fun purposes only and huge amount is not good for your bird)6. Drill a hole under a pot of Le Grass Cafe and place on the tray and just watch what happens! (I can't guarantee you will be able to use the pot again lol)Those are just some ideas so I hope it helps! I would love to hear your ideas too! This toy/feeder is definately a good investment! So if your parrot is very clever removing clips on other foraging toys like mine then this feeder is definately a challenge for your bird to remove!”
