Fun Facts About This Toy
This toy is snappy perfection!!! This toy was actually designed and created to replace a favorite toy of one of our team member’s birds, Tegan! Tegan loved a toy that wove in between the cage bars, but the toy was full of plastic and other unsafe materials. Therefore, we created this toy and named it after her!
While it may seem simplistic in nature, this toy is anything but. There are TONS of beads to snap, the “legs” can wrap around cage bars and other structures safely, and once the beads have been snapped off it is great as a “re-fillable” toy with other used toy parts you may have lying around. If you have a bird who LOVES beads, this is the toy for them!
While it is in the large section, this can be used with medium birds as well easily. Small birds, if they enjoy harder woods, may also enjoy this as a challenge, but the size could be intimidating if they are not used to toys already.

Additional Resources
Is your bird unsure of what to do with toys? Or does your bird act scared of toys? Don’t worry - this isn’t uncommon and, while some birds naturally take to toys, other need to be trained in what to do with them. Once they understand what toys are, their instincts kick in and they tear off (quite literally)! Here are some resources that can help your bird learn to play and foraging.
