The Coollapet Jimmy Halfa Lobster is a jointed wooden lobster, dyed red, built to be taken apart by a parrot with a serious beak.
Key Features
- Hardwood body in jointed sections, so a bird can work pieces loose one at a time rather than give up on a solid block.
- Chewing untreated wood is how a caged parrot keeps its beak in condition - in the wild the trees do that job.
- Jointed tail and claws move when pushed, which holds a bird's interest past the first look.
- One of the larger toys in the Coollapet range, built for amazons, greys, cockatoos and macaws.
- Hangs from a cord rather than a chain.
Good To Know
- Match the toy to the bird. Hardware built for a macaw will trap a budgie's foot, and a toy built for a budgie is destroyed in minutes by a large parrot, leaving pieces small enough to swallow.
- The colours are dye on wood. Expect them to fade, and to stain a wet beak and the cage tray - that is the dye, not blood.
- Check the toy over every few days. Retire it once parts are chewed through, frayed or splintered - worn toys are where beaks and toes get caught.
- Wood splinters as it is destroyed. Sweep the cage floor rather than leaving shards where a bird will stand on them.
- A bird that stops playing, sits fluffed on the cage floor or goes quiet is showing the first signs of illness - birds hide sickness until they can no longer manage it. That is an urgent avian vet visit, not a wait-and-see.
