A macaw's bite is measured in hundreds of pounds per square inch, and a toy sized for a conure is a five-minute snack. These are the ones built to take it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey are also, deliberately, meant to be destroyed. A cockatoo that reduces a toy to matchwood in two days has not broken it — it has used it. The mistake is buying something indestructible; a bird that cannot make a mark on a toy stops caring about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in this range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToy\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoconut Mobile\u003c\/strong\u003e — 19\" × 7\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePine slats, groovy blocks, cardboard chips, hardwood beads and a real \u003cstrong\u003ecoconut shell\u003c\/strong\u003e on bird-safe rope.

The tagline is \"Parrot Playthings with a Purpose\" and the range is built around three behaviours: chew, forage, preen. Assembled in the USA with bird-safe materials, food-grade colorants and vegetable-tanned leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir reasoning is worth knowing: a wild parrot spends around \u003cstrong\u003e70% of its day food-seeking\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a captive one does not. Their own guidance notes that birds with a variety of toys are \"less self-absorbed and exhibit fewer negative behaviors\" — which in practice means less screaming, less plucking and less aggression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Super Bird Creations","offers":[{"title":"Coconut Mobile","offer_id":50524168454363,"sku":"SB1224","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Disco Fever","offer_id":50524168487131,"sku":"SB1122","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olympic Rings","offer_id":50524168519899,"sku":"SB625","price":20.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Willy Nilly","offer_id":50524168552667,"sku":"SB513","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wally's Wonder","offer_id":50524168585435,"sku":"SB451","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Starburst","offer_id":50524168618203,"sku":"SB480","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Firecracker Jr","offer_id":50524168650971,"sku":"SB687","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0058\/6733\/9846\/files\/SB1224-Super-Bird-Creations-Coconut-Mobile-1.jpg?v=1790526558","url":"https:\/\/farooze.com\/products\/super-bird-creations-large-parrot-toys","provider":"FAROOZE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
