Creative Foraging Systems+E487 CFS Push and Pull Pet Feeder

My bird is not a pro at the levers yet, but she does enjoy shaking it to get small seeds and things down. She learned how to use it pretty quickly and I also noticed her placing other treats in the bottom tray for safe keeping. I will need to rotate it out soon to keep it novel. Overall no complaints. It does only fit small treats and I would not put wet or stick things inside because I don't think it can be cleaned.

My mid-sized bird absolutely loves this foraging toy. When it first arrived, I had to show him how to work the tabs. After two lessons, he got the idea. Often he will bang the toy on the side of the cage to make the nuts fall through the holes instead of pulling/pushing the tabs. Only small bits of nuts can fall through the holes, which is a negative as it does take time to break up nuts. Sometimes purchased pre-cut nuts have to be broken in order for them to fit through the holes. While I do not like having to do this, my bird gets very excited when he sees me placing something in the top cup. Items have to be placed in the top cup and work their way down to the bottom where the bird can get to them . Small bits of food can be placed in the bottom two openings as a way of encouraging the bird to use the toy. I would recommend this foraging item only for medium and large sized birds as I do not feel small birds could work the toy.

My Sun conure loves this and so do I. It's easy to load in food or treats and the bottom opening is large enough that she can get the food once it falls. I also love that it doesn't have to be completely full be for her to be able to get out food. The only reason I gave it a four is that the holes are so small I can only use pellets or small treats like seeds. Larger things like dried fruit gets stuck or prevents other foods from moving down. Otherwise, I loved it.

Great mental and physical stimulation for all my birds! Durable.

I was really excited to get this and when it arrived I was very suprised at how small it is. I have a male eclectus and not only are the holes to small for much to pass through the head opening to eat the food is to small for his head. It now just sits in his cage unused because if I was going to rely on this for my bird to eat..... He would starve. It should be marketed as a small parrot feeder.... My bird is considered a medium parrot.

My conure took quite a while to get over the usual foreign-object fear, as expected. She poked her head in to the bottom chamber a couple of times, emptied it out, then gave up. She progressed, learned to start pulling on the planks to cause more (nutri berry crumbs) to fall down. I don't think she's actually learned to pull planks one direction or another... She just shakes it, empties the whole thing out! The return window is way past closed so I might dismantle it, try to make it more difficult for her to empty out. Maybe thicken up the planks so they can't be slid in or out as easily, or make the dividers in between each chamber taller. Even just when filling the toy up, with the plank openings closed off on a given side, you will always end up with treats falling all the way down... The review sounds a lot more negative than I meant it to, I appreciate the fact that it has not taken ANY damage, has not gotten gnawed on like other cheaper toys. I do just have a tiny 70g Conure but she is capable of destroying cheap, imported toys.

The pull out slides jammed constantly, and no food was ever obtained from inside. The material was very cheap. It was not easy for my bird to maneuver due to the width of the column being quite large (larger than his toes could fit over), perhaps a Macaw sized parrot would prefer it. Overall I was very disappointed because I thought it would actually be a very fun and engaging toy for my parrot but he never touched it again after 5 minutes.

I've been doing a fair bit of searching for decent foraging toys, and all I can say is don't waste your money on other toys! This is by far the best one I've come across, definitely worth the cost. I bought it primarily for my rats, and they love it. But it's also a good size for conures and other small to medium hookbills. Good chain, sturdy material, not hard for the human to figure out and operate. Not too hard for the animals either, but provides a good amount of challenge.

青い半透明のプレートをスライドさせて中のおやつを下に落とすのが本来の使用方法なのですが、うちのズアカハネナガインコの場合は本来の使用方法でおやつをとっていたのは最初のうちだけでした。 揺らしたほうが早く取れることに気がついてしまうと飼い主の思惑通りの遊び方はしてくれません。 むしろ揺らすだけの力のないオキナインコのほうが上手に本来の使用方法でおやつをとっています。 小型の鳥用なのかもしれないです。

My African grey loves it, it’s solid and very playful.

Fun to watch the parrot try to get the seeds out

This is a good toy where my African grey can occupy her mind working out how to get the treats from the top to the bottom, when the toy arrived I did however find that the top slide was out of line so the treats could not fall through but after striping it down and adjusting the slides it worked fine and the bird loves it.

Seems decent but my conures won't touch it. Big chickens. Good for a braver bird.
