We posted the picture above today on Facebook and one of our fans commented: “I sure hope this macaw doesn’t live in that tiny cage” my response may be a bit of a shock but I don’t necessarily have a problem with that.

Foraging Toys for Two Very Large Moluccan Cockatoos

Last Updated on October 1, 2023 by Mitch Rezman

I’m looking for foraging toys for my two very large Moluccan cockatoos. All the ones on your website seem to be for much smaller birds. Please let me know if you haven’t appropriate toys.

Dear Lea

I know Moluccan cockatoos, they are very strong. It can be very difficult to find good toys for them.

Hello,

Just to share a cautionary story, I have had several of these carriers but they do wear out. Last week, the large zipper opened while we were out and my parrot inside dropped 180 degrees backwards and upside down. No harm done but for those who are on a bike in traffic or have noticed some wear on these zippers, a couple large safety pins or some other reinforcement is my recommendation.

Kind regards,

Suzanne and “Errol”
