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 what’s new and fun in her box. 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 (“Pumpkin Poppers”), and a Did You Know (the Vampire Finch). Every month, Squawk Box donates part of their profits to a new bird charity. October’s donation is to Foster Parrots, Ltd in Rhode Island.

Planet Pleasures Bird Candy. Made with palm leafs, it has no plastic of metal componets. It’s colorful, and perfect for destructive beaks so they don’t get bored. I like to keep some out of Kiwi’s cage so she can throw them on the floor, destroy them and just have a blast when she’s out.

Featherland Paradise Candy Kebab. A mix of paper wrapped balsa wood with smaller wood pieces and beads on a metal thread. Kiwi loves to chew on the paper calmly in her cage in the morning.

Squawk Box All Natural Toy. Look at this lovely ghost! Made with wood, palm leaves, shredded colorful paper, this was so cute for Halloween! Kiwi and I love when we get a seasonal toy that serves as a destroyable decor!

It has a big piece of soft wood, with a basket full of the paper. It also has some rope, so everything is quite safe for your bird.

Prevue Hendryx Pluckers Pouch. A burlap jute bag filled with seagrass and coconut fiber. Your bird can pick at the fiber so your floor can never be clean ever again (were they though?) Kiwi doesn’t know what to do with this yet, but doesn’t hate it either.

Talon Treats Pumpkin Seeds. Every month, your bird will receive a treat. Some bird don’t care for them at all (looking at you Kiwi), others will try anything they see their hooman try. So don’t worry, the treats are “hooman safe”! Usually, the monthly receipe will include the treat so you can experiment with them, in case your bird prefers them with other foods.

Kiwi really enjoyed her October’s Squawk Box, although the toys are more in the “will play with them later” category than “there’s a bell, must destroy now”one. It still a great seasonal box that adds a bit of fun to your bird’s cage.

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! It’s also a great way to get your bird less afraid of new things, and more curious about things around it.

I’m impressed by the variety of toys available out there as Kiwi has been subscribed to Squawk Box for a long time now and she received the same toy only a couple of times. And it’s usually a toy she loves and has destroyed, so it’s a win. 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!
