Stainless Steel Toy Extender & Kabob - Medium Ball

More Images:

This is a fantastic multipurpose bird product (available in three different lengths) and stands out from the crowd because of it extreme durability and unique hanging system. Its ball size is 1.5” (38mm) in diameter a great size for large and medium birds with cages with up to 1-1/4” bar spacing.

This parrot toy has been designed to hang from the acrylic ball. You simply poke the metal rod up through the cage ceiling from the inside, and screw the ball on from the outside. This hanging system is extremely useful for people out there with mechanically inclined birds who like nothing more than undoing the quick links on their toys. The sphere is impossible for them to get undone and thus reduces the hazards of a heavy toy falling and, of course, the tiresome duty of hanging it up again. (If you like, it’s also possible to hang this toy upside down with a quick link.) Made of stainless steel this toy makes an excellent feeder system for outdoor aviary birds.

This medium-ball kabob is ¼” thick (the small ball kabobs are 1/8” thick) and comes in three lengths (ball not included in measurement):

8” (20cm) - $23.00 AUD
12” (30cm) - $24.00 AUD
18” (45cm) - $26.00 AUD

Some suggestions on the use of this parrot product...

As a toy base:
Use the skewer to hang leftover or fresh toy parts. Even a hyacinth macaw is going to take a very long time getting through this ¼” thick stainless steel rod, making it an extremely economical hanging material. And in fact, hanging it all by itself is often quite fun for those metal loving parrots.

As a toy extender:
Sometimes there’s a lot of space between the ceiling and where you’d prefer a toy to hang. Using a long piece of string or chain to hang the toy can pose a strangling hazard with a parrot that plays energetically. This long rod is an excellent substitute because it is stiff and no amount of flapping and yanking will cause it to twist up or wrap around a neck. Simply attach a toy to the loop at the bottom with a quick link (both our medium and large quick links will fit without slipping through the gap on the loop).

As a foraging toy:
Skip cutting your fruit and vegetables into small pieces that your bird can hold (and quickly discard) when it would be easier for you and more stimulating for your bird to simply hang the whole piece of fruit up and let your companion parrot have its dash at it. Let your bird have the pleasure of skinning the orange before chewing at its juicy segments, or gradually munch through a slab of pumpkin, or pick all the corn off the cob (but not before it removes the leaves first)! Not only does this stainless steel skewer allow your bird essential mental and foraging stimulation it makes food preparation a quicker business for you. Naturally the material of this product protects it from the fruit acids, and the size of the loop at the bottom is sufficient enough to prevent fruit from sliding off.
