The Teacher Toy - Parrot Training Toy

This is a great prop. Its good for interactive play and developing your relationship as you can both mess about with it together. Its not really important exactly how they play with it. If you use it as an educational toy they will learn something. Its a great way to teach a variety of words without it feeling repetitive and associate them to the real world too. Numbers, colours, actions. They are all there if you use your imagination. It is for supervised play. If you are looking for something to stick in a cage or to keep your bird occupied while you are doing something else this isnt what you are looking for. If you cant spend enough time playing with your bird to get value from this you should probably ask yourself whether you should be keeping them in the first place.

I bought this as a step up for the fetch trick. Its pretty, brightly coloured and a good size. Id say on the larger size for my senegal. Shes about as tall as it but she can still reach. Lots of pieces to it. You could easily use the disks as foot toys if you werent fussed about using it for trick. For a trick you can teach colours to your parrot. She loves to pull the disks off and then push them and throw them around. Great price, great product

Fab item my birds enjoy it

my parrot loves this very first play he took off put back on now its he take off throw it I find and put back on great buy

I have just received this so called toy! I havent even opened it yet! I cant you how much I am dissapointed with it. It looked so much bigger. this it is not big enough. He will just chew it up . Never again!

My CAG loves this but is not interested in its academic possibilities ! He spends hours removing the rings and throwing them on the floor and frequently spends a lot of time reducing the rings to splinters. His ability to recognise the colours only stretches as far as preferring the red and yellow rings to chew up. However, this toy does keep him busy for hours and so is worth buying. I just wish that the extra rings did cost a bit less.

hi, i would not reccomend this toy 2 anyone as i think 2 be truthful it is a waste of money,i no .parrots do chew but dont make it easy 4 them when these toys cost so much, if made not 2 chew fine i would have said ys. regards michael Hill. ... . .

Exactly what we wanted to teach alfie to Count and his colours in a fun way he doesnt get bored. However he does love to chew the blocks so a replacement set is definitely a must!

I really like this, I had every intention of teaching my African Grey colours & to count but he prefers to take them all off and chew them lol

Our Grey had the acrylic version of this first and although he still plays with it, he doesn't like it anywhere near as much as this wooden version. I have tried playing with it with him, but he is like a dog with a bone and guards it with his life! If your parrot is real chewer, I would recommend buying the refill pack at the same time!

Casper never bothers to read the instructions. He ignores the rings but loves whittling the sticks so that they now look like the battlefield trees you see in WW1 photos after heavy shelling.Not sure that we need replacement rings, he may get around to them eventually.

Gizmo the grey loves this....Hes a quick learner so I'm guessing be4 long he will be putting the right colours on the right peg !!

Long lasting toy which my African Grey loves! Couldn't master matching the colours to the blocks but thoroughly enjoyed throwing them all over the floor... and eventually chewing them all to bits -- Refills definately recommended!

It may take a few refills before Bobby, my AG, learns his colours and numbers! He initially ignored the toy and then proceded to reduce the rings to wood chips.

Loads of uses for these not just with the teacher toy. They are great for toy making parts.

This arrived this morning, and Darwin, our African Grey is already happily pulling all the wooden balls off. He has taken to it like a duck to water.He is now perched on the top, taking the balls off.Wow, hard work for me trying to get the balls on fast enough !!!!Already starting to chew up a ball, the refills will come in handy I see...Great toy, need say no more...

My parrot loves this although not clever enough yet to learn colours just loves pulling the rings off and throwing them all over the place .

At the moment Steff (African Grey) just wants to take the rings of the poles and throw them on the floor aklthough i think she is attracted by the colours.She's just a baby so when she matures she'll hopefully be able to match the colours.

My parrot loves this toy but we couldn't find refills before, this is great as he loves to pull them off the poles and chew them to bits! Hence the need for lots of refills!

Alfie is a little more interested in this, and seems to want to get involved with it every time i get it out - for a wee while. I think toys like this would be much more appealing to first time parrot owners like me, if they came with tips on how to get your bird interested and learning things, Alfie would rather chew the rings than put them away!

Our Senegal loves this toy, we have bought two of these. Not only does he enjoy total destruction of the rings but he is happy to play on the floor chewing the base. They may nowlook like a bizarre piece of art but they stop him being bored and very much worth their weight in gold. Unfortunately Smokey Joe has not yet grasped the idea of replacing the rings on the base but no doubt this will come in time !!!

my macaw loves this toy. first was interested in chewing the pieces first but we have lots of fun with this toy. It teaches counting and colours

I bought this toy with good intentions for my African Grey but within 2 weeks he had just chewed and destroyed the coloured rings.....and usually I like to buy something that will last a bit longer than that!

My disabled CAG, Charley, loves this toy. It took her a while to realise what it was but it is a long lasting foot toy for a bird with no feathers, thanks to PBFD, who cant fly! I dont care if she cant count or colour co-ordinate, she is happy ! :
