KATUMO Bird Toys, Parakeet Grass Mat Foraging Toy Parrot Shredding Hanging for Cockatiel Lovebird Parakeet Budgie Small-Medium Birds

I have a solitary, semi-feral female lovebird that I took in to "foster" four years ago. She detests me despite my best efforts, and tends to hang out in her enclosure when not flying for exercise. Because of this, I'm always looking for enrichment toys for her rapidly shredding little beak. I unboxed this, and was immediately struck by the quality of the materials, which were markedly nicer than expected. It has an excellent variety of both colorful and natural stimulating features, including some spray millet, a large (for a LB) whole nut, lots of woven palm/raffia (over an inch thick), safe wooden beads, and novel to me plastic round fasteners (time will tell if those are preferential or equal to steel carabiners. They're definitely better than the hardened palm rounds in newer All Living Things toys, which the bird chews through in less than 10 minutes). I bought this and another similar design, and thought they were an excellent value for what I paid, considering they're larger, more diverse, and more robust than most in store toys Mina the bird has decimated. She did immediately go for a corner and detach the mat from it's hook, but that's something she does, and it was very easy to reattach elsewhere.

I have a rescue parakeet and am still working on building up her confidence. Overly loud or flimsy/very movable toys scare her, so I was excited to see this has by far been her favorite! It is very sturdy when attached to the wall of the cage, and she can climb and tear it apart while feeling secure. It seems durable to last her quite some time and it doesn’t have any pieces like strings or jingle balls that would make me nervous about keeping it in her cage unattended. It was definitely made with birds in mind, and I love that all the bases are covered for safety and enrichment. I’ve been hiding tiny pieces of millet in there as well and she goes NUTS for it! Very great value for the price. (Heads up the clips are very large so if you have tiny bars in the cage you may have to replace them. They were fine for me but might not be for your cage) Very great toy for budgies, she’s happy, so I’m happy!

This is amazing! At first she took it off of the cage. It fell down in the bottom. I picked it up and put it up higher and she gets on it and chews on it all day. Most of the time it gives her plenty to do. Thank you so much!

My budgie loves it. He’s always climbing or chewing on it. It keeps him active and happy

My birds don't actually play with this mat, but use it as a foraging toy. After they finished the millet it came with, I continue to tuck tiny sprigs of millet into the many nooks and crannies. I just have it sitting on a dresser near the cage and they enjoy exploring and finding the hidden millet that I put there from time to time. It satisfies their curiosity and is a rewarding activity. Kind of like an Easter egg hunt for budgies.

Great toy for my parakeets they love chewing and pulling

I buy these for a very old Amazon that I take care of. He is 73 years old and he absolutely loves tearing these things apart. He’ll take all the decorations off and then he’ll even tear the mat apart underneath he loves these things and they’re not super expensive.

My budgies love these mats. I currently have two different types to provide a variety of play and shredding activities so they don’t get bored. Excellent designs including hooks to attach to cage. I attach new mahogany pods and sola balls, and tie on raffia tassels and such, as other toys are shredded. My two birds have so much fun climbing, exploring textures, shredding and playing with toys. Great value for all the activities they provide. The mats themselves are safe. I only purchase the mats that I feel have the safest and most natural toys. It’s easy to remove and replace a toy if you feel it is questionable because birds will chew anything and everything!

Parfait
