SB632 Foraging Bottom’s Up Bird Toy with Clear Acrylic Cups, Medium/Large Bird Size, 18” x 2.5”

We modified the whole toy, so we don’t have our Kakariki parrots touching any plastic, except for the cups where we put the treat. We like the concept over all.

My Green Cheek Conure absolutely loves this forage toy and gets so excited when I load it with treats. I like to move it around to different spots in the house to keep him engaged. Materials seem durable and well-made.

My green cheek conure gets pretty excited when he sees it's time to put his snacks in this, and it keeps him pretty busy for awhile. My only con is it seems he's pretty smart at mastering it, so he doesn't have much of a problem flipping up the lids and just feeding away without working for it. I find moving it around the cage to more challenging places helps work that clever little mind of his. lol

4 stars for sturdiness and for durability, because a CAG can destroy pretty much anything they want to, and she's done a lot to it. But it's still holding up, we put some of her food in it as a reward for her flight practice, and she dives right in. First few days, she struggled to find how to get to the treats, but she managed - she's a CAG, she's smart. If you need to give your parrot more intellectual and physical stimulation, it does a good job.

This is a fun way to encourage foraging for my Amazon. He learned how to get the food and treats out pretty quickly. I like that he was able to see through the sides of the cups and know things were in there. Often I'll hide a treat in his cage and he never finds it. I think this would be good for any birds the same size or larger than an Amazon.

It really is a nice simple concept for beginner foragers, however please be aware that the cups are not made of strong acrylic; rather they are just regular (i.e. kind of flimsy/brittle) plastic that can break just by squeezing it firmly. I would not recommend this for larger birds as they could easily shatter the cups into sharp pieces. But smaller/medium sized birds would probably be safe playing with it.

My budgie (sprite) had a good time solving this puzzle. It was great to see her walk around it, investigate and solve the puzzle after trying different strategies. It wasnt even for my budgie but I'm glad she is enjoying it. My conure couldnt figure it out but watched Sprites problem solving.

My lovebirds figured this out right away and love it. I put their treats in there and they love foraging for them. I keep it on their play gym and it's the first thing they check when they're there. I even have one bird who will flip the lid tops and then glare at me if it's empty as if it should be filled with treats all the time. It's a little pricey, but worth it as there are many other toys I've purchased for my birds that they completely ignore or destroy within a day. So, I like that this is durable and keeps them interested.
