Zoo-Max Colourful Wooden Discs, 30pk

£6.95

Safe non toxic colourful hardwood discs for medium to extra large parrots

:  at  £6.95  each

Zoo-Max Colourful Wooden Discs are great for creating new toys, repairing or revamping existing toys which will stimulate your Parrots interests. Threaded onto leather strips for Chewing fun or as part of a foot toy for the Large to Extra large Parrots.

Quantity - This pack contains 30 discs of assorted colours.

Dimensions - 3cm Daimeter with a 1cm hole.

Materials - Bird safe coloured wood. Colours will run when wet.

Suitable for - Mini to Extra Large Parrots.

Shredability - In our opinion, being Hardwood, small beaks may not get a lot of fun out of destroying these but they do add good colour and when combined with other soft woods you have a durable element to a toy that may not need replacing as often.
Just a thought...from Ernie

Although these discs are safe for Mini to Extra Large Parrots, what about their chew value.  "Our Ernie" a Blue Fronted Amazon, is classed as large and he thinks they are fun but only when combined with other softwoods or bagels which he can really get his beak into.  He can get his beak into them but quickly looses interest with toys that are all hardwood. "Our Felix" has them on one of his hanging toys combined with other soft woods, he tends to shred the softer wood, and these remain in tact even though he still as a good go at them from time to time.

Every bird is different but by knowing your birds individual play habits and beak strength, it will help you create toys that are multi-faceted. Try using a combination of durable and shreddable parts for maximum enjoyment.
