Extruded granules/sticks can be embedded within some preening toys to offer a combination of preening with foraging activity. This may appeal to a parrot that has less experience with preening; helping to encourage essential grooming. The HARI Smart.Play Venus, Small is an ideal toy for birds who tend to pick and pluck at their feathers as it encourages feather preening. This toy contains coconut bark, sisal weave, pieces of cardboard and colored sisal that birds will love to chew and tear. It is easily installed/hung with the included lead & zinc free, nickel plated quick link.
