Bird Swing with Bells: Plastic Hanging Budgie Swing Toy for Small Bird Cages (1 Piece)

Bird Swing Toy: A Colourful Hanging Swing for Small Birds

This hanging bird swing is a bright plastic swing toy with a ridged perch and two bells, made for budgies, canaries, finches and other small cage birds. It hangs from the top of the cage by a hook, giving your bird a moving perch to climb onto, balance on and play with, while the bells add sound for extra interest. It's lightweight and easy to move around the cage, and supplied as a single swing.

Why Do Birds Need Swings and Toys?

Pet birds are active and curious, and a cage without things to do can lead to boredom, stress and habits like feather plucking. A swing gives your bird gentle exercise as it climbs on and balances, and the bells reward it with sound when it plays. Swings are one of the simplest bird toys for a cage and are a favourite with budgies.

Which Birds Is This Swing For?

This lightweight plastic swing suits small birds:

• Budgies
• Canaries
• Finches
• Other small birds of a similar size

Larger birds such as cockatiels, conures and parrots have strong beaks that can crack plastic, so they're better suited to heavier wooden or metal swings. If you're looking for parrot toys for larger birds, choose a swing built for their size and strength.

How to Hang the Swing

• Hook the swing onto the cage roof or top bars, no tools needed.
• Hang it high enough that your bird's tail feathers don't brush the floor, food bowls or other toys below.
• Leave space around it so your bird can swing freely without hitting the cage sides.
• Place it away from directly above food and water bowls, to keep droppings out of them.
• Move it to a new spot now and then to keep things interesting.

Good Toys for Budgies

Budgies enjoy a mix of toys: swings, ladders, bells, shreddable paper or soft wood, and simple foraging toys where they search for seed. Rotate toys every week or two so they stay interesting, and avoid crowding the cage, as budgies still need room to move and fly. Add natural wood perches in different thicknesses too, as smooth plastic perches alone don't exercise the feet.

What Toys Are Safe for Budgies?

• Toys sized for small birds, with no gaps a head or foot could get stuck in
• No loose threads, strings or frayed rope
• Bells with clappers that can't be pulled out and swallowed
• No zinc-coated or lead parts
• No small pieces that can break off

Check every toy regularly, and remove this swing if the plastic cracks or a bell becomes loose.
