Small Natural Swing
$20.00 (inc GST)
Swing, chew and play! Your pet parrot will love resting on their comfy new natural swing with a barky branch perch, just as much as they will like swinging on it and chewing the variety of natural items surrounding them.
Each handmade swing is unique and has a wide variety of seed pods to suit the size of parrot. The Small Natural Swing is made to suit small parrots like Budgies, Lovebirds and particularly small Conure species (eg Rose Crowned). The Small size can be used by Cockatiels, though many Cockatiels like the extra space of the Medium Swing. For most Conure species (eg Green Cheek and Sun), Quakers, Indian Ringnecks or for more than one Cockatiel, use the Medium Swing.
One of the original “Kirsty’s Natural Bird Toys”, this toy is handmade and has a natural branch perch, that is 15-20cm wide, with lots of bark for your parrots’ feet and nails. Lining the side is a seasonal mix of Australian Gumnuts, Casuarina and Liquid Amber pods plus native branch pieces, balsa bricks, birdy bagels, woven leaf shredding strips and finger trap pieces, threaded onto stainless steel wire. It hangs from a short length of stainless steel chain and does not come with a hanging link. You may have spares already or you can choose to add one from the drop down menu.
For further details, please see below for the additional description beside the review tab. Normal processing time for natural orders is 2 days to 4 business days, but can be longer during bad weather or busy periods.

Description
This natural product is handmade fresh by me (Kirsty). Though available to order any time, natural bird toys are never pre-made or ready to send. After your order is paid for, I will make the natural toy(s) with freshly gathered seed pods. Normally this only takes a few days to a week, but can sometimes be longer during busy periods. Feel free to contact me to check availability or wait times.
Further details about the hanging link options (with links to the product to see images) are below.
- Nickel Plated Pear Clips are the standard hanging link that comes with most toys and are safe for most birds.
- Stainless Steel Pear Clips are the same size and design, but are made from stainless steel, so will last longer and won’t rust from outdoor use or regular washing.
- Stainless Steel Quick Links are larger than pear clips and feature a sturdier clasp. Suitable for large parrots and can be tightened with pliers, for birds that like to unscrew links.
All natural toys are handmade and the seed pods are seasonally available. Therefore, every toy does differ and contains a mix of dry/open and green/closed seed pods. Please contact me before purchase if you have specific wishes or want to check availability of certain seed pods.

The best swing I have bought. As I work during the day I like to leave plenty of natural things for my conure. This swing is her favourite. She climbs all over to chew the gumnuts etc on the sides and is having a ball shredding the paperbark perch. It gives me peace of mind that she is safely occupied while I am away not just sitting in a cage. I will certainly be purchasing this item again.

These swings are a veritable treasure trove of goodies, containing lots of different textures and shapes that will keep little beaks occupied for hours. I like hiding the odd sunflower seed/unhullued oat seed in the liquid ambar pods, woven leaves and/or finger traps for my fids to forage for. I love Kirsty’s range of toys as I can be certain they are of high quality and most importantly, safe for my fids to enjoy.
Though extremely well made, my girl ‘tiel demolished this within a few months (we secretly refer to her as Destructacon 3000). As the saying goes though, “A toy destroyed, is a toy enjoyed!” and at this price, the swing is easily replaced (or if you’re crafty, refreshed by adding some fresh finger traps, balsa bricks or vine balls). Considering the work that goes into making one of these, they’re an absolute bargain and no cage should be without one!

My Charlie is very wary of swings, I don’t think he has grasped the concept of swings yet! I currently have to convince him to get on the swing with treats, but once he is on the swing he loves to chew all the natural goodies (the finger traps are his favourite) that are on the custom-made swing. I think natural bird products are far better, safer and more natural looking than the swings you get from pet stores. You also know that this natural swing was made with love by Kirsty for your pet/friend! 🙂

These are my birds absolute favourite. They get so excited whenever I add a new one to the cage. They’re so popular with my little flock that I always buy at least two otherwise I’d have a riot on my hands. There are so many little chewable items attached it keeps them busy for weeks.
