Featherland ParadiseCaitec Corp CFS Foraging Wheel Gen Pet Feeder, X-Large

I purchased the xl green wheel. I’m going to try to answer all the questions I had that i couldn’t find answers to.This was a good purchase for my Congo African grey & immediately entertained her. She isn’t usually great at foraging around the cage so I wasn’t sure she’d figure this out but to my surprise she had it emptied in 5 minutes! Though she hasn’t actually used the way turn knob on the front , she just pushes the compartments via the opening. She’s a rescued plucker so I’m trying to find more things to keep her busy& this gave her a job to do.-My first concern was the dreaded sticker everyone commented about so I ordered a bottle of goo gone in preparation & was surprised to have it arrive with no sticker. It was however coated in an oily film on the top cover piece only and lots of scratches so I’m assuming I got a used one (Grumble grumble) but it’s possible they finally did away with the sticker?-I was back & fourth on what size to get for a grey as I saw them all recommended but i personally would advise the xl. I chose it over the medium because the hole placement to the medium seems like it would spill a lot of things out and also be harder to actually get things out of. The hole in the xl does keep items in the chambers & keeps from spilling out. The chambers are not so deep that my bird can’t get whatever is in the bottom. I will note that if you fill them super full it’s possible a bit could fall out if it spins too fast but not likely. I was worried it might be a little to hard to turn as someone mentioned they could barely move theirs but it spins extremely easily.- others noted their bird pulling the wheel off the base that attaches to the cage… in my photo with the purple arrow, the arrow points to the tab that has to be pressed down to release. To avoid my bird being able to access that tab, I placed the bottom part of the wheel up against a perch. -the photo with the purple circle is my biggest concern & the part I do expect her to break. The small plastic hooks are very thin and my grey is an aggressive chewer so we will see if this hold up.-the bolt/screw that I saw mentioned isn’t really a bolt/screw…. & it was confusing to get off initially as there’s no instructions. I was trying to unscrew forever before I realized there’s a button you have to depress to release on the square plastic nut like part. It’s very easy however if this ever gets lost it won’t be replaceable.- I also saw someone stated this could only be mounted on horizontal bars ( possibly that’s just the medium size ?) because the xl /giant models have cross cuts in the plastic mounting bolts so they can be mounted either way.Love how easy it is to clean this. Love that it entertains the plucker even briefly. She initially wanted to kill it but once she saw the cashews she got busy trying to figure it out. She chewed on it pretty aggressively & has not broken it yet, fingers cross! As of now I do highly recommend this toy, may have to update if she breaks it but seeing that it’s held up to macaws and cockatoos gives me confidence.

my parrot used to love wheels, had more that 5 that he destroyed and played with, been 3 months and still avoids it. he will take some peanuts from it, but something does not go well with him. I think it is the color... but but not sure. anyway, wasted money on it.

I bought this for my African Grey congo. She is of average size and is a very curious parrot. She is almost 2 years.She has not been able to break it , it is pretty strong.Now for a African Grey this size wheel is very good, not too big or too small. The wheel has openings in it and as the bird turns the wheel the individuale holes appear with what ever treat or small toy you have placed in there.For me cleaning this wheel is easy , all you have to do is unhook it from the cage and then remove the back part with a small pinch, after that you will see a small screw and plastic click on bolt, remove them and there you have it wide open to wash out.My bird hangs off her wheel and it still is working . The first hour after I had set it up in her cage, she was soo scared of it and sat on the other end of her cage. She did not even move or sing or call us like she usually does, so I thought this was not going to work. Just an hour or so later my husband says, I want to add some pistachios , thats her fav treat.We added the pistachios and a minute or so later she was picking at the wheel trying to get them. The interesting thing is she knew what to do without us teaching her.This wheel keeps her busy threw out the day and she loves it or what we serve her in it
