Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Our Toys
Here are our most commonly asked questions regarding our bird toys.
General toy safety
General toy safety
We try to be very diligent in all aspects of toy making, from the materials used to the way they are used.
Every bird plays differently, and it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure that the things you give to your bird are safe.
We use beads with some of our toys, and we emphasize which species is most appropriate based on these bead sizes. All our toy materials are listed in the material section. If you have any questions about any aspect of my toys, please send us a message.
What metals do you use?
What metals do you use?
We only use stainless steel wire and nickel-plated metals.
You'll be able to find this information in each toy in the "materials" section on the type of metal we used.
Our metal wires are 16-gauge and stainless steel. Our metal chains, 0-rings, and screw eyes are nickel-plated.
Do you add pear/quick links to each toy?
Do you add pear/quick links to each toy?
By default, we do not include quicklinks, as people have their own preferences. Only wood toys that have screw rings or screw eyes will come with quicklinks.
Additionally, some customers have hand and mobility limitations, which make using Quicklinks difficult and strenuous. Our customers who fit into these categories often opt for plastic links as they're easier to use.
For these reasons, we opted out of adding them to every toy. This prevents waste by not giving something to someone that they can't or won't use, keeps our costs down by only sending things that are wanted, and keeps prices lower.
After reports or hearing pear links causing potential injury to smaller-sized parrots, we have decided not to include them in our toys. We only offer quicklinks.
How are your toys dyed?
How are your toys dyed?
We use Americolor or Ann Clark to dye our toys. It is human-grade food gel that we dilute with water.
What types of birds do you cater to?
What types of birds do you cater to?
Our store caters to a diverse range of avian enthusiasts. Whether you have a parrot, canary, finch, or any other feathered friend, we offer a variety of products tailored to meet the unique needs of different bird species.
Are your toys safe for all bird species?
Are your toys safe for all bird species?
Yes, safety is our top priority. Our toys are made from non-toxic materials like untreated wood, natural materials, and stainless steel. However, it's important to choose toys that are appropriate for the size and beak strength of your bird to prevent any potential hazards. For instance, sola might be too soft for a larger species or pine wood may be hard to shred for smaller species.
How do I choose the right toy for my bird?
How do I choose the right toy for my bird?
When selecting a toy, consider your bird's size, beak strength, and personality. For example, parrots often enjoy durable chew toys, while smaller birds like finches may prefer lightweight toys they can easily manipulate. We also recommend rotating toys regularly to keep your bird engaged. If you need additional suggestions and help, please send us an email and we'll gladly help narrow down your options.
Do you offer eco-friendly or natural bird toys?
Do you offer eco-friendly or natural bird toys?
Yes, we carry a variety of eco-friendly and natural bird toys made from sustainable materials like bamboo, coconut shell, and sisal rope. These toys are not only safe for your bird but also better for the environment.
Do you sell toys specifically for large birds like macaws?
Do you sell toys specifically for large birds like macaws?
We have a dedicated selection of toys for large birds, including macaws, cockatoos, and African greys. These toys are designed to withstand strong beaks and provide the mental and physical stimulation that larger birds need.
Are your toys safe for small animals?
Are your toys safe for small animals?
The toy parts we use are 100% safe for birds. If you have a small animal and are interested in our toys, we have a description of the materials used in each toy listed.
As a pet owner, it is your responsibility to decide if those toy parts are safe for your specific small animal, whether that be a rabbit, guinea pig, chinchilla, rat, etc.
Please be mindful that some toys might come with small beads (again, this will be listed in the materials section), which can pose a potential choking hazard for your small animal.

Return policy on bird toys
Return policy on bird toys
At Feather Beautiful, the safety and well-being of your bird are our top priorities. Due to the unique nature of our products, we adhere to a strict Zero Return Policy on Bird Toys. This policy means that all sales of bird toys are final, and we do not accept returns or exchanges under any circumstances.
Why a Zero Return Policy on Bird Toys?
- Hygiene and Safety: Bird toys come into direct contact with your pets, and their hygiene is critical to prevent the spread of disease or contamination. Returning used or even opened toys could pose a risk to other birds, so we cannot restock or resell these items.
- Product Integrity: Once a bird toy has left our store, we cannot guarantee its condition. To ensure that every customer receives a new, uncontaminated product, we cannot accept any returns.
- Bird-Specific Use: Bird toys are often chewed, pecked, or otherwise altered by birds during play. These changes make it impossible to resell the product or ensure it remains safe for another bird.
