This foraging toy is woven from natural corn husk and cob — no dye, no plastic, no metal parts — so your bird can chew, shred, and forage the way it would in the wild, from inside the cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it's made from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorn husk and cob only — no dye, no plastic, no metal parts. It's the same natural plant material used in foraging toys generally, so there's nothing synthetic in what your bird shreds and chews. As with any chew toy, supervise your bird when it's new to them, and remove and replace it once it's shredded down to loose strands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy foraging toys matter\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eParrots and parakeets spend hours a day foraging in the wild. This toy gives your bird something to chew, shred and dismantle — the same kind of activity it would naturally spend hours on in a wild environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBudgies, cockatiels, lovebirds, and similar small-to-medium parrots.
