Parrot Playgyms & Bird Toys
|
Sally Blanchard's Companion Parrot Quarterly Magazine Review

FunTime Birdy is a new advertiser in the CPQ and we love the TROPICAL OASIS JUNIOR PLAYGYM that they sent
us! This fabulous tabletop playground keeps our guys entertained to the point where they don’t even know we’re
around!
The perches are low so they can easily climb down and around to explore all the fun activities. Of course, their first
interest is investigating the two food cups that are strongly attached to the two outer perches. But after that they
discovered the hanging toy bars.
Many playgyms are not utilized by parrots because they tend to go the top and sit…This one is different because it
has been specifically designed to encourage play and discourage sitting on top of the gym.
Pascal our little Amazon with stenosis in her back can easily putter around comfortably to her delight and RoxiAnne
our one-legged bare eyed cockatoo hops on and off the low perches without a care. They both enjoy tearing the roll of
adding machine paper and nibbling on the alphabet blocks that are conveniently located within easy reach.
This would be a great addition to any parrot’s home. It could be fun on or near the dining table so that dinner and
breakfast could be shard or, perhaps next to your easy chair or office chair so that your parrot could keep you
company while you watch TV or work on the computer.
It’s quite easy to put together with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver and very transportable to move from room to room.

The colorful - well built playgym for mid-sized birds is fabulous. It
is lightweight, so easily transportable - can go room to room - or
even to take along when visiting friends.
Carli feels "right at home" immediately!! A bargain at any cost. It
will provide endless hours of fun for your bird.

Hi Ann,
Well... I am impressed.
This is the first time ever that a vendor has actually contacted me to determine whether I am
satisfied with a product that I ordered over the internet.
I am pleased to report that Pickle loves the playgym, and has already made great
progress in chewing and destroying the "willow tree" toy attached to the stand. I will take her
picture on the playgym this weekend and e-mail it to you.
Thank you for a great product, and for creating a product that keeps her occupied and
happy. Pickle is a great bird with a winning personality, and I want to keep her that way!!
Thank you too for you great follow up and for actually caring about my satisfaction
with your product. I am certain that I will order again.
For your information, I found you through an internet search on google for Parrot playgyms.
I scrolled through a number of other sites before I found yours. Yours was the best product
from the standpoint of design and functionality.

Dear Ann,
Thank you for your email I received Beauty's playgym yesterday
October 28th 2005. Thank you very much for your help with
tracking the item.
I'm sure he will love it when I give it to him at Christmas.
May I say just how impressed I am with the quality of the
workmanship.
Also I would like to thank you for his treat which he seems to like
and I can hear him churping away as I'm typing this email.
I would recommend your website to others and I sure I won't be
able to get him off his playgym once he sees it.
Kind regards,
Kate and Beauty (Parakeet) - United Kingdom

I took it home and set it in Kasey's favorite spot, our sun porch and in minutes he was hanging
upside down, sideways and nibbling on everything.
This is the first gym that I have bought him that he actually uses. And he didn't just
use it for a month and then get bored.
This means that for the first time in my life I have not wasted money on a playgym that
is sitting in the corner collecting dust.
The quality is amazing; it went together in no time and with no problems.
But most of all Kasey isn't bored
Thank you for making such a wonderful product!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Ann,
Thank you for your e-mail and for checking on your service, that says a lot about you and your
company.
I was very pleased with the service I received.
I have a 2 yr old Yellow Naped Amazon, his name is Kermie.
He loves his new toys, he has just about finished off the Dino toy, he liked to chew those all
into little bits.
I saw your ad in one of the Bird Talk issues, advertising the Dino toy.
Thanks again
JoAnn and Kermie(Yellow Naped Amazon) - Mississippi
UPDATE 2006
I finally got a picture of Kermie with his new Nut and Bolt
toy, (life’s too busy)..
Thank you again for your special treatment..
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
JoAnn and Kermie(Yellow Naped Amazon) - Mississippi
My birds really loved your Junior Spider toy. My
cockatoo demolished it though I did save some of the
pieces that were salvageable to restring! The
blue-fronted amazon really loves it and it's so funny to
see him walking around with little fishies in his mouth! I'll
definitely be ordering from you again as the birds really
like your toys.

As a pet store owner, I feel your playgym outperforms other
playgyms I sell. One of the best features of your playgym
that makes it stand out above the rest is the toys at eye
level.

Hi Ann,
Thanks for the note. What great customer service!
My lovebird likes the playgym, but my Lineolated parakeet
LOVES it!! Here are some pictures of him playing on it. Feel
free to use any that you'd like on your website....fun fun.
(can I have that link again?) This is a nice little gym....lots to
do...and Beeper, my linnie, is having a blast with it! Thanks
alot !
And a very merry Christmas to you, too. Thanks again.

Ann,
We have three cockatiels---Squeaky, Mr. Feathers and Daisy.
They love their playgym!
I hope the picture comes through.

I did put one of his Christmas Candy canes on it ( in a couple of the pictures) for him to have it decorated
for the holidays.
Thanks,
Recent update:
Teal is really enjoying the playgym even more now that he has become more familiar with it. He gets
on it each morning and every night during dinner and playtime. He loves chewing on toys and this
has enabled him to have more playtime away from the cage and he has a lot of toy options with the
playgym.
I have also found that the playgym is easily moved from room to room when I want to take him with
me to other areas of the house and still have things to occupy his time. Thanks again for everything.

When I was at the Long Island Parrot Show last month, I always
check out the toys etc...for my seminar on "Teaching Your Bird to
Play". I found your play gym at one of the booths and loved it! I
have been looking for something that I could use in my computer
room that wasn't so big that it took up all the room, but would still
be great for all my birds!
Well when I saw this I was delighted! To me it is the best play gym
I have seen! Everything is at eye level for the birds...and they are
at a good height for me!
Here are some pics of my guys on it while I am at the computer!
As I said this is GREAT and my guys all love it!

(Congo African Grey) and entire Flock - New York
Wow this is fun!
Fletcher making a paper mess!
WOW! That's what I call customer service! You guys rock!
Most website businesses only claim to have customer service.
You really care.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Ann,
The playgym arrived today. My grey, Casey, loves
it! He was hesitant for about 10 minutes, but now
he is playing on it for about 2 hours.
Thanks So Much,

Ann,
Our bird is loving his new Play Gym. He is a white
bellied Caique, is 8 months old and his name is
Pippen.
He is so energetic, it is great to find a gym that even
keeps his interest.

I know that you have a very good product that
people need.
Our birds love it and it does exactly as you said--
they cannot sit on the top where the chain is, and
be bored all day. They play with all the toys,
particularly the one with the popsicle sticks, and
go up and down the ladders to the perches.
They are far more entertained with your play
gym, than with the ones with a perch on the top. I
knew that you had a good idea the minute I saw
it.
I'll send you a picture of our bird enjoying your
gym when I get the chance.

Hi Ann
Piper loves the Sophomore playgym. It is just the right size
for her and she can move around easily.
I'm thrilled with the fact that I can get replacement parts.
I will try to send pictures.
You've got a great product!
Thanks!
Sylvia and Piper(Cockatiel) - Virginia
Hi Ann,
Your toys are really incredible, and the boys TRULY love them,
even my little picker, Maka, who LIKES chewing on the plastic
pieces.
Zeke, my gray, is enjoying the lady coconut toy! And I REALLY
appreciate you wrapping the toys in plastic instead of newspaper.
Thanks again.

Hi there,
I just received my "Sophomore" playgym today. I
really like it; and so does "Peanut" my 5 month old
Black Headed Caique.
I am glad we bought our playgym from you!
Thanks

"The birdies LOVE their playgym! The first bird who got to explore on it,
stopped at each toy and nibbled it, and just sat there as if I gave her the
best present of her life!!!!!! It was priceless!!!
All the birds have found their favorite place on it. Everytime I turn to look
at them, they seem to pose for me! It is fun!
Cleaning it is also a breeze, as it is so sturdy I get to flip it over and
shake it to get any stray treats off of it, and then just sweep them away."
Thanks again for all!
Michele and Flock (Cockatiels) - New Jersey
Ann,
Zeek loves his new toy and thank you very much.
He plays with it everyday as Zeek is our brand new
addition and he had not many things to play with now
his cage is full of love toys.
Thanks again

I had only purchased my bird (a lovebird) a few weeks
before I received your gym and it has worked wonders in
taming her.
She can be at the table with us for meals and that has
done the trick! She now comes out of the cage and has
bonded with me very well!
Thanks so much!
Jess and Cheerio (Lovebird) - Pennsylvania
They have been enjoying it, along with Perry, our canary. The "fids" (feathered kids) like chewing
and climbing on the toys.
I like that they all immediately liked the gym and jumped on it. Also, I can switch out the toys to
keep them interested, the bottom portion cleans easily, and it has a nice weight to it but it's not too
heavy. As you can see, I keep this in my living room.
I have attached some pictures because I just happened to have taken some the day before
because it was cute that Perry decided to join in on the fun!
Thanks for the neat product!
