Product Hygiene
The health and safety of your parrots are our number one concern, therefore the PRC manufactures its toys in clean, bird free zone areas. All our toy products are kept in a sealed environment away from all parrots. All natural wood and gumnut products are cleaned and dried before used to make toys and kept in sealed rooms and containers, so that they are not contaminated by wild or pet parrots. We do not re sell returned items or pre loved toys.
Toy Size

Please ensure you always purchase toys that are suitable to the size of your parrot. Some materials that are made for small parrots are easily broken by larger parrots and can cause injury. We do specify in each category which toys suit certain birds, but if your bird is a destroyer like some Macaws and Black Cockatoos, please supervise your parrot when introducing new toys, and ensure they do not harm themselves with broken pieces of plastic or metal etc. Some parrots can be in the small parrot to medium parrot categories due to their strength and interest or from medium to large category. Some parrots are more destructive then others, so we have set up a guide based on destructibility. We recomend that you stick with the Bullet proof and natural toys when it comes to Black Cockatoos. A guide to size of parrot indication list below:

Small Parrots: Lovebirds, Finches, Budgies, Cockatiels, Plum heads, ringnecks, quakers, conures, lorikeets etc
Medium Parrots: Conures, Ringnecks, Quakers, Galahs, Corellas, Amazons, African Greys, Eclectus etc
Large Parrots: Macaws, Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, Gang Gangs, Black Cockatoos, Major Mitchells.
Toy Materials
All toy parts and toys that are purchased and used by the PRC are of high quality. The PRC does not sell or provide parrots with cheap and dangerous products. We only purchase toys and parts (eg. Stainless steel and Nickel plated qlinks, chain and unwelded rings etc) that are safe, durable and non toxic.
Toy Safety

The greatest care is taken when making the PRC toys to ensure that there safe and non-toxic. Please purchase toys to suit the size of your parrot and also check toy for wear and tear and remove when deteriorating.

  • Please ensure that you do not provide toys that are rusty or cheaply made, as your parrot could end up with poisoning or injury.
  • Watch your parrot to make sure that they are not ingesting any of the plastic, rope or metal parts on toys.
  • Wood and gumnuts are a safe and digestible product which birds are able to ingest.
  • All wood that is used by the PRC is untreated, so is 100% safe.
  • All food dyes used on the wood parts are 100% safe.
  • All rope used by the PRC including sisal and cotton rope is purchased specially, therefore is untreated. Rope purchased from hardware stores is normally treated.
  • Please ensure that especially rope toys and products do not cause entanglement, as this can cause amputation of parrots feet and toes etc.
  • We recommend that only bullet proof or natural toys be provided for black cockatoos, as they have been known to ingest plastic and metal etc, which is not safe.
  • Metal parts should only be made from Nickel plating or Stainless Steel. Please avoid Zinc items as they are toxic to birds.
  • Split key rings that are used to hang toys are dangerous, if the bird splits apart the ring they can get their tongue or toe caught between where it splits. Split key rings should not be used on any bird toys, only unwelded rings are safe when closed tightly
