The total height of the toy is approximately 35 cm.
Why did you collaborate with Weltvogelpark Walsrode?
The collaboration ensures that the design principles are backed by experts who specialize in bird behavior and habitat enrichment.
How often should I replace the toy?
Replace the toy once the materials have been significantly chewed down or if they become unsanitary.
Troubleshooting
Bird is afraid of the new toy
Place the toy outside the cage or in a neutral location for a few days so the bird can observe it safely before installation.
Toy is shedding dust from the lava rock
Gently shake or brush off the loose particles outside the cage before hanging it to minimize dust buildup.
Bird ignores the toy entirely
Try repositioning the toy near a favorite food bowl or perch to make it more noticeable during the bird's active hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, secure the toy firmly to the top of the cage using the provided hanging attachment. Ensure there is enough space around the toy so it does not crowd other perches, allowing the bird to maneuver comfortably. Compatibility is best for medium birds such as budgies and cockatiels. Care involves routine inspection: check for any frayed, sharp, or loose parts that could pose a snagging risk. Once the toy has become heavily soiled or significantly worn down from enthusiastic chewing, it should be removed and replaced with a fresh one to maintain sanitary standards.
