Prices: $12.95/toy to $28.95/toy
            $31.95/set to $48.95/set

How to select the right size and style for your bird:

  • SELECT SIZE.  What do you want to put in the tube? 
    See PVC sizes.
  • SELECT STYLE: foot, hanging, or cage-mount.  
    • DIFFICULTY.  The foot toy is more challenging than the hanging or cage mounted style.
    • BIRD SIZE.  
      • Small Birds (smaller than Amazon/grey). 
        Get the ½" size and use with a plastic rope hanger or get the hanging or cage mount style. 
      • Medium Birds (Amazon/grey)
        Can hold the two smaller ½" or ¾" sizes in
        their foot and can use any size that is hung
        or cage mounted.
      • Large Birds (large macaw and cockatoo)
        Can use any size. We recommend  1"
        sizes. 
        ****************************
        NOTE: We tested  the ½" size with several
        large macaws and cockatoos.  They scratched
        the PVC but none of the birds broke the tubes.

Not sure what to get?  Get a ½-inch foot toy style
(under $15) and see how your bird likes it.

How to use PVC toy:
Remove white end cap and insert food or toys. Replace cap. Bird works through the small holes
in the clear PVC tube to get the item. 

Add a paper ball (wadded up paper) in each end

Clearly Fun™ PVC Food & Toy Foraging Tubes
Foot Toys
  • Easy to clean & refill.    

    • Wash in a dishwasher (silverware basket and air dry) or wash
      by hand.

    • Caps are removable (by people and some birds).  To make the
      cap extra tight, place a small piece of paper under the cap.

    • The foot toy style comes with a short plastic rope hanger (see
      4th photo).  It can also be hung on the EH Chewable Hangers (skewers).
      - See 1st and 3rd photos at left of item #1 for Chewable Hangers.

  • Toy Styles - your choice of 3 styles 

    • Foot toy with removable Paulie Rope hanger

    • Hanging toy - hardware is all nickel-plated (NP).  It is bird safe
      (chain & O-rings).

    • Cage mount toy - with stainless steel (bolt and wing nut) and two
      acrylic washers.

  • Hole size in toys: ¼" to 1" holes ** make birds work to get the food
    or treats.  Each PVC tube has about three holes.  Nut tubes have just
    one hole.
    ** Hole size we use (7/16-inch) is right in the middle.

    PVC Sizes (½", ¾", and 1") = inside diameter (width) of the pipe

    • How large?  What fits inside??

      • ½" -- pistachio nuts, shelled peanuts, and seeds

      • ¾" -- average peanut in shell, small almond in shell
        -- To make it smaller use pliers to break off part of the
        edge.
        * If the almond is too big, break off the edge of the shell
        with pliers.

      • 1" -- large almonds, Brazil nuts (plus the smaller things too).

CORRECTION -- FEATURED TOY:  The Clearly Fun PVC Foraging Toy was featured
in Companion Parrot Quarterly (Spring 2005, Issue #68).  There were errors in the
toy review (page 80). 

  • SIZE SELECTION: The reviewer wished the toy was available in larger sizes. 
    At the time of the review, the toy was available in five sizes, ½" through 2". 
    (We discontinued the 2" size.)  The ½" and ¾" sizes that were reviewed are
    the smaller sizes.  We currently also have 1" size.  There is a section on the
    web page that explains what size to choose for your bird.

  • DURABILITY:  The reviewer described the toy as a "semi-destroyable" toy for
    a larger bird.  She was concerned that her Moluccan cockatoo would break
    the toy.  

    • We tested the smallest size (½") with full-sized cockatoos (umbrella
      and Moluccan) and full-sized macaws (blue & gold, scarlet, and green
      wing).  None of the birds broke the very smallest toy.  They could only
      scratch the plastic.  

    • We don't recommend the smallest (½"and ¾") sizes for large birds
      because it's hard for them to get the tip of their big beaks in the holes. 
      The 1" size is fine for large birds.
