Is there a bird in the house using this toy?

It is called the joly ball and it sure looks like fun for the birds.

I think my lory would go crazy for that toy....its gonna be on to buy list!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Mikey you would have to get the 10 inch size for your lorie. They love them especially with all the bits hanging off them.

I know he will just love it!!! He's destroyed about all of his toys already so he needs new ones. He loves to play little ball with bells in them, he lays on his back and roll them with his feet. Its so cute watching him play.

Apparently you can buy the empty shell or you can buy all the hardware or you can purchase them already decorated. I am having trouble deciding on the size. They go by wt. and my TAG is about 300 gms. right on the border line from one size to another. So Pedro what size would be best for TAG and GCC??

I want one of these for Puck! They're kind of expensive, but I bet they last forever.

One of my dogs has several of the dog versions. He loves to roll/chase them around the
yard.

Spiritbird I have the 10 inch size, I bought it for my eclectus but it was just a tad to small, although they had fun chewing all the hardware off were a little scared to play inside. My eclectus are the red sided & are big birds. I would think that the 10 Inch would be OK for a TAG. I do know a lady that bought the 14 inch size for her YCA & it had heaps of room to climb in & out of it.

The small one is very small & is only big enough for the small parrots such as lovies, budgies ect, although i had one for my GCC I found it was a bit of a snug fit as they matured & filled out.

By the way if any one wants to know a place to purchase one just PM me & I can pass on the information.

I would love one of these, but I dont think they sell them here in the UK

 

[Pedro]

You can buy then online. I live in Australia & we have to buy the 14 Inch overseas but can easily get the 2 smaller ones from a couple of stores . Over here the 10 inch with hardware is about $80 au. I can buy the big 14 inch overseas for around $140 complete with hardware & including freight. They are cheaper for just the ball & hanging chain.

I think River would love one of those!
