It's my passion to make our feathered friends both safe and happy by providing fun!! Safe!! Irresistible!! Toys.
I also offer an excellent customer service. I am always on hand for you and your bird.
Welcome to pine4parrots, On my site you will find no nonsence safe!! handmade Creative toys, to entertain challenge, and stimulate your feathered friend. My toys are as unique as our feathered friends that play with them.
I take pride in my ability to make bird toys that are of exceptional quality, and are the most creative and absolute, safest creations for birds available anywhere.
My toys are fun, extremely well made, and are loved by even the most discriminating birds. only the best quality and the safest materials are used in every toy I make.
Birds are intelligent creatures that need to be mentally stimulated, to prevent boredom. Toys play a very important role in helping you to provide the stimulation and entertainment your bird needs.
But!! Toys will only have the desired effect, if your bird will like, and want to play with the toys you choose.
At Pine4parrots you are in good hands,
I really do know how to make a toy that will tempt even the fussiest bird.
Toys that will captivate, and delight your bird, and provide them with the ultimate experience
Parrots really, just can’t resist my toys!!
It has taken a lot of time working with other people’s birds, as well as my own, for me to get to know what birds want, and how to make toys irresistible!!
And this I have achieved, because of my passion for birds, and my dedication, and determination to give them toys that they deserve.
I have been asked to help many birds that have never played, and showed no interest in toys at all, and many birds that were scared of any toy that was given to them.
All these birds I have been asked to help, are now happy playing.
I don’t believe in the words "my bird does not like to play"
Birds do like to play; they just need the right toys, and a gentle approach in introducing new toys.
Another important thing that needs another mention, is my concern for your bird's health and wellbeing
I take pride in my commitment to the highest level of safety. My standards are high, VERY HIGH!!
I am well researched on toy safety, toxins etc... and I am concerned for the safety of all birds., I am concerned about the vast amount of unsafe toys on the market. I go to great lengths to make sure I supply none toxic toys,
I only wish everyone else would do the same.
I use good quality untreated pine,
which I purchase is in sealed packs from B&Q, and I use only the best quality vegetable tanned leather on all my toy’s. I get my leather direct from the tannery, this way I can be sure it is natural, with no finishes etc...And it is not tanned with Oak tanning, (which is toxic to birds).
Oak tanning is a common tanning used in vegetable tanned leather, and this leather is used in lots of parrot toys.
All my Designs are examined carefully for safety, and making sure the toy will still be safe as it slowly gets destroyed.
I do not use long pieces of leather on my toys, which can cause a hazard for birds; all my toys are carefully designed to keep your bird safe. Please be assured that I do everything humanly possible to make sure your bird will be safe when playing with one of my toys.
But still, I advise everyone!!, to check all your birds’ toys on a regular basis.
please note: You must make sure you buy the right size toy for your bird, a big mistake people make when buying their parrot's toys, is buying the wrong size toy for the beak that will be attacking it.
No matter how safe a toy is, if it is given to the wrong size bird that it was made for, it can make the toy a hazard.
Also hoops in toys meant for a small parrot could strangle a larger parrot, if you give a bird a toy with a hoop/hole in it, you must make sure your bird can get right through the hole, or not get their head in at all.
Please visit my toy safety page for important tips.
as well as the selection of toys I make, I do sell a few toys that are made by other manufacturers.
These I call my recommended toys, they have been very carefully chosen, and I only sell the safest toys. Some you will find have been changed by me, this is if I feel the toy needs something more adding to it to make it more fun, or in some cases, parts may need changing for safety reasons.
I also stock a selection of toy parts including all the zoo-max acrylic shapes.
All my toy making parts have been carfully chosen, I only stock toy parts I consider safe, so you will not find pages and pages of unsuitable, none safe items. Just a small selection of safe toy making parts for your bird.
I also have a page on toy making ideas; this is well worth a look.
A quick word on plastic.
Plastic toy parts are sold for birds just about everywhere!! In my eyes many plastic items for sale for parrots are not safe for your bird, this is my opinion based on research I have done on plastic.
Any plastic that can be chewed by a beak is unsafe to give to your parrot. Your bird can choke, and it can also cause digestive problems for your bird, if bits of plastic were to be swallowed.
Plastic is full!! Of chemicals, and when plastic is chewed, this releases the chemicals in the plastic.
So because of the above reasons, I only sell plastic parts, that are hard enough not!! to be chewed up by a bird, but not brittle enough to break and cut a bird.
Not an easy plastic to find.
