Squawk Box is a monthly birdie care package of 4-6 bird treats, toys, and more delivered straight to your door. Because parrots, big and small, need a great amount of stimulation to thrive, Squawk Box will deliver a new selection of toys every month. Every crate is carefully curated to keep our feather friends happy and healthy!
The box is available in four sizes: Little Birdie (great for Lovebirds, Parrotlets, Cockatiels, Parakeets, Green Cheek Conure sized), Middle Birdie (great for Quakers, Conures, Senegals, Pionus, Timneh Greys, Caiques, some Mini Macaws & some small cockatoos), Big Birdie (Amazons, Cockatoos, Eclectus, and Congo African Grey sizes), and Jumbo Birdie (large Amazons, Macaws, Moluccan Cockatoos). The monthly subscription starts at $24.95 for the Little Birdie to $44.95 for the Jumbo Birdie, with significant discounts for longer subscriptions. Knowing that parrots have a long life ahead of them, and that they will destroy everything around them (including couches, books, important papers, walls), the longer subscription is definitely a must! They now ship to Australia!
Also, for each Squawk Box ordered, a percentage goes to parrot rescues. Not only do you provide fun new treats to your own bird, but you help other parrots as well!
This review is for the Little Birdie. My assistant reviewer, Kiwi the Lovebird, is always happy to stick around to see the new toys she received! Fun thing: non-bird pet can also enjoy these box, such as squirrels or hamsters! Of course, the bird is not included with the box, you have to provide your own diva!
Everything is packed with paper and both the box and packaging are bird safe. So bigger birdie will have a blast with the box!
There is no information on the content of the box, but you get a nice DIY Parrot Treat, a Did You Know about parrots (how to pronounce psittacines), and the Rescue of the Month. For May, part of the money from the sale of each Squawk Box goes to Burge Bird Rescue in Grandview, Missouri!
Prevue Hendrix – Bodacious Bites. A cute wooden ladder with colorful soft basa woods, great for any active bird!
It’s a toy that I think is bit big for a bird the size of Kiwi, but she likes to hang from everything and anything so that’s a fun toy for her!
Featherland Paradise Bird Toy. A bunch of popsicle sticks with soft balsa wood and colorful plastic beads, that’s a winner for Kiwi!
She was so excited to get her beak on the orange pieces of wood!
Planet Pleasures Sunflower. We love Planet Pleasures toys as they are always made with natural fiber and wood. There’s no plastic or metal. The Sunflower is made with woven palm leaf strips and your bird can chew through it, preen it, or attack it! We also love that they are appropriate for special needs bird or as foot toys.
Bonka Bird Toys. This toy is made with palm leaf strips and soft foam flowers. Kiwi likes the foam flowers as it reminds me of a softer remote controller buttons (which are all dead…)
Mini Spray Millet. Millet is a favorite among birds. Even when we board Kiwi, we are always asked if they can give her millet as a treat. Millet is quite fatty, so it shouldn’t be the main source of nutrition for your bird, even if you have a diva (like Kiwi) that pretends you are making her suffer for not giving her millet all the time.
“MILLET!!!” I think she likes it. To be fair, I ran out of millet earlier in the week and it was almost the end of the world. So this is the face of a “starving” bird.
She’s not happy with only 2″ of millet, she was ready to go in the bag!
So the “mini spray millet” comes from the size of the branches. I really like that as we usually buy the normal millet that we then carefully cut in serving sizes and put them in a container for ease of use. These are about twice what I usually give to Kiwi on normal days.
Yeah, she got to keep that whole piece!
This was a great box! Kiwi is a picky subscriber, but she’s quite satisfied with the treat this month! The toys were also all to her liking, especially the one with the popsicle sticks!
Kiwi and I love Squawk Box as it is great to discover new toys, and maybe new favorites. We really enjoyed the variety of texture, colors, and types of toys that we receive in every box, there’s always something she’ll like!
I’m impressed by the variety of toys available out there as Kiwi has been subscribed to Squawk Box for over two years now and she received the same toy only a couple of times. It’s fun to get a box of new toys and treats to discover, instead of spending countless hours at the pet store in front of a very limited selection to end up buying the same toy over and over again! And sometimes, your bird will surprise you by loving a toy or treat you were sure it would hate!
Chirp!
What do you think of this month’s Squawk Box?
