Barrel of Fun - Entertaining Foraging Toy for Parrots

I love solid foraging toys that I can vary in the cage, this has been added to rotation. Resets quickly if Im in a rush and scout loves it, she dangles from it whilst unlocking it. You can start off without it in locking position then turn it further as the parrot understands the challenge. Happily fits a sugar snap pea, carrot button, few seeds, small grape. Our of my favs

A great foraging toy! Jasper loves it. Tough and reusable, had it a few months and no signs of damage.

How are lovebirds using this?! Mine is so tough that sometimes it gets stuck when even I try opening it. My bird has no chance.

My senegal cracked this in minutes the first time and now goes straight to it when I put him back in his cage and opens it in less than a minute. However, he seems to really enjoy it, it gives him some stimulation and he also spends ages hanging off it and abusing it when it's empty (just to show it what he thinks of it for not coming up with the goods!) so although it's so easy to open I think it does what it says on the box and, I imagine because it does give him a treat regularly, he hasn't got bored with it. It hasn't been damaged at all by his treatment of it and is a very sturdy toy that I imagine will last forever, so definitely recommended

I have had one of these for a while. It is a little easy to figure out but is tough and has very little wear.

the snack rack and barrel of fun are very importend products for big birds , its very intertaining and wise .

My green cheek has had this toy well over a year now, in fact it is probably nearer two or three, and it shows no sign of any wear and tear as yet. It was a challenge for him to start with as it was one of the first foraging toys he had and we had to help him out a little.Even after all this time he still loves the toy and is a pro at opening it. He will even keep opening and shutting it over and over again in the hope it has magically refilled itself.

My birds love the barrel of fun, doesn´t even have to be candy inside it you can use small toys:)It is easier than it looks, my pi opened it in just mere seconds.The material is strong and the birds beaks do not leave marks or break it(yet)

I bought this for my African Grey to help him understand how to forage. When it arrived I took it off the chain and held it in my hand and showed him how to play with it and then showed him a nutriberry I was about to hide. Jasper was keen to get the nutriberry and took to the Barrel Of Fun in no time. I always introduce Jasper to new toys out of his cage before putting them inside to see how he reacts to them. Jasper now loves to play with this and although he finds it easy to get the treats out of, it is something he enjoys to do. I now hide treats in this on different days, at different times, etc so he never knows when he will find something. Jasper also enjoys playing with this even after retrieving his treat - shouting, screaming at it and banging it against the cage. Also to make it harder, wedge paper inside it so it's harder to open.

Bought this for our CAG Frodo and to be honest he had it open in a few seconds but he absolutely loves it,. Once he removes his treats he will stick food back into it lock it up ,re-open it and remove the food while laughing his head off.He has now taken to filling up the other end of it and will eat the food out of it later on.

not good. said it was hard to get into which is why i bought it. waste of money as my yellow nape gets in it within a second. infact you only have to touch the end and it fallls open

I got this for my Eastern Rosella, but she has no interest. But that doesn't mean I don't think it's a good toy. I think if she had been able to see through it that it had treats, she would have loved it. But as it is she has no reason to touch it, since there is nothing on it to get her attention. I would think that for a bigger parrot it would be fun.

I love this. I am a lovebird, but I can still use it. It doesn't get completely filled up for me, but a few Harrisons in there and I'm on it trying to get it open quicker than you can say 'dinnertime'!Overall I can't fault it!

COCO LOVES THIS HE WILL SIT AND PLAY TILL HE OPENS IT EVEN DOES IT BACK UP BY ACCIEDENT LOL

cheeko loves this as she realises if she opens it upside down her treat will just fall out and waits for another 1

Bought this for my african grey Chico, he had it open in about 10 seconds so could do with being a bit harder to open. When he had opened it then he spent ages attacking it so it was worthwhile

I bought this for my African Grey, and she managed to solve it in about 10 seconds, ate the treat, and then started attacking the toy. It survived without a scratch. I put something in for her every morning, and it's always a bit too easy for her, but it's a good start for teaching a bird to forage.

Jacko has had the barrel since Christmas and has accessed it only twice so far, so it's proving a good toy/treat holder to keep him occupied.

even keeps my african grey quiet for a while

Material and fastening high quality. Slightly too easy to solve, but interesting toy anyway.

when i got my new grey she was 13 weeks old and i gave her this with her fav treat inside (broccoli) and it took her just moments to work out, but she does love chewing and hanging upside down on it while singing

when my African grey saw this he was not impressed i left it hanging in his cage and after a week he thinks its great he hasn't learnt how to open it yet but he will at least it is keeping him occupied, and it is tough he can destroy anything but he hasn't this so that's a big plus

its not the best toy in the world but it does work even tho its a little easy to open, our amazon just puts his foot on the knobs at the end and twists the draw then just falls open, but when its empty he has fun fighting with it

Got as part of Sams christmas box but so temped to give it to him early he loves new toys and anything that comes in a box has to be for him!

My african grey loves this toy. It's very easy to work out how to open and won't take your parrot long to work out how to get the treats inside! I've left this in his cage for a long time now and he never gets bored with it.

My Senegal has amused himself with this for hours. He didn't take long at all to work out how to open the barrel to get to his treats, but he hasn't got bored of it and gets hours of fun playing with it whether it's got treats inside or not!
