For companion birds, as for humans, variety is the spice of life. Today we're going to take a deep dive into a couple of mini sneaker foot toys, with exciting shredding elements and foraging possibilities. These adorable mini-sneakers are composed of bird-safe, natural cotton canvas with an all-natural rubber sole. With no metal parts, these colorful sneakers will delight your feathered friend.
These wonderful sneakers are hand-stuffed with contrasting colors.
The 5612 Super Shreddy Sneakers are a veritable bouquet of bliss for your bird buddy. With the mini sneakers coming in one bird-pleasing color, and the shreddable paper in another, these wonderful toys are a veritable banquet for the eyes, the feet and the beak. The crinkly paper is dyed with 100% food-safe coloring, and is eco-friendly and totally recyclable. With its springy motion, this crinkly paper is an excellent medium, allowing your bird to interact with, rather than just destroy, the paper.

The rubber sole on each 5612 Super Shreddy Sneaker provides a more robust chewing and grappling experience for your companion bird. The difference in textures will provide some great tactile feedback, and great enrichment for the feet.

All of these things add up to a toy with many different sensations to offer. The rubber soles will also stand up well to those voracious chewers who need a good beak workout!

The laces can be used to tie the 5000 Sneaker Shredders inside the aviary or to tie multiple sneakers together for a more complex toy. They can also be used to tie the sneaker to other toys within the aviary.
A perfect stuffing opportunity!
As we have with the 5612 Super Shreddy Sneakers, you can add paper or other foraging materials inside the 5000 Sneaker Shredders. Place a delicious treat inside, then cover it with crinkly paper, or other natural foraging materials . Once your bird makes it to the treat, they will feel like they really worked, and were rewarded for their work. This is a great confidence builder for young birds who need to learn this type of behavior, such as young African Grey Parrots.
The bright colors stand out in all types of aviares.
Each 5000 Sneaker Shredder is 3" L x 1.37" W x 1.62" H (7.6mm x 3.5mm x 4.1mm) and weighs less than one (1) ounce (28.3g). They come in quantities of one (1), two (2), three (3), four (4), five (5), ten (10), fifteen (15) or thirty (30). Again, the larger the pack you purchase, the more money you save!
Companion birds require enrichment and stimulation to nurture and satisfy the natural behaviors that have been instilled in them for thousands of years. Some of these behaviors include foraging for food and nesting materials. A companion bird may not need to do these things in order to stay alive, but millions of years of adaptation and evolution are constantly telling them otherwise. For this reason, they need ample opportunity to satisfy the natural urge to perform these actions in order to be healthy and happy. The 5000 Sneaker Shredders and the 5612 Super Shreddy Sneakers will help them to satisfy the need to forage, and will also give them an excellent beak and foot workout.
