Let’s take a look at the different styles of toys available for Kakarikis and the most popular Kakariki toys from each of them.
Foraging Toys

Please Note
You’ll know your Parrot best, please choose toys that you feel are suitable for your Kakariki’s level of destruction. As with anything new it can take some time for your Kakariki to accept a new toy.
