What Are Some Excellent Hanging Toys for Aviaries?


6 minute read

Hanging toys are the workhorse of the companion bird enclosure. They may be made from metal, acrylic, leather, paper, or any combination of these materials. Nearly all birds enjoy foraging and chewing, bright, shiny surfaces, and shredding so these materials are ideal to help keep your companion bird happy and entertained. A bird owner can never have enough hanging toys for the aviary.

These Sun Conures are looking to play!

The 3010 Medium Chime Pipe Ringer is possibly the simplest example of a hanging metal toy offered by M&M Bird Toys. Available in a wide array of colors, including: Green, Red, Yellow, Blue, and Purple, this sturdy, powder-coated metal toy has a heavy-duty quick link connector, a length of sturdy chain, where each link is welded closed, and a pipe-shaped bell hanging from the final link.

The chain comes in a color that perfectly matches the pipe bell. The final chain link is also welded to the top of the pipe, so this baby is not going to come apart easily! The pipe-shaped bell has a clapper that is recessed inside the bell so that birds can't easily grab it with their beaks. For smaller birds, M&M Bird Toys also offers the 3001 Small Chime Pipe Ringer.

1045 Ringy Pot Ringer Quick Link

At both ends are heavy duty links and a sturdy metal bell.

Having two (2) connectors allows this hanging toy to drape across an area of the aviary. Perfect to hand across a corner, or just from one rung in the top of a cage across to another, this draping action means that your bird can pull on the various elements of the toy, and it will swing toward them and snap back when released. This will delight your birds desire to explore, to discover new way to interact with their environment, and to make some noise. 

The 1045 Ringy Pot Ringer has two (2) little silver bells, one at either end hanging from a sturdy metal ring which is connected to each of the quick link connectors. The chain that passes through the rest of the toy is strung between these two rings. There are four (4) metal measuring cups hanging at intervals down the length of the chain. Each measuring cup hangs from another metal ring, which in turn hangs from the chain. An acrylic ring hangs down in front of and behind each measuring cup handle, from each of these rings.

A noisy, cage thrilling, bird party!

The length of this toy is 15" (38.1cm) from end to end with a weight of under 10 Oz. (283.4g). It has a maximum width of 3.5" (8.89cm) and a maximum height of 6" (15.24cm). The 1045 Ringy Pot Ringer will provide hours of enjoyment for your mid-size flighted-friend.

 The 1017 Ring Pot Banger is a small hanging toy suitable for Finches, Canaries, Green Cheeked Conures, and other small pet bird species.

The chain hangs down to a length of about 9" (22.8cm).

The acrylic elements will come in a variety of exciting, and bright colors. This is a great toy for birds to get their beaks into, for pulling enjoyment. When they pull, the variety of elements will move, causing a thrilling trill to be emitted. The 1017 Ring Pot Banger is sure to please, particularly those birds that like shiny, noisy things.

A lovely preening seat.

We often use the terms cage and aviary interchangeably. Merriam-Webster defines a bird-cage as a "cage for confining birds". They define an aviary as "a place for keeping birds confined." If you ask me, Merriam-Webster got a little lazy there. Other sites define an aviary as "a large cage, or house or enclosure where birds live." So, for me, nearly all aviaries are cages, but not all cages are aviaries. For example, a travel cage is not a place where you would want a bird to live, but it is a space where one can confine a bird while you travel from one location to another. So here, when we talk about an aviary, we're talking about any enclosed space where a bird can live.
