The Creative Foraging System provides your parrot with the opportunity to feed naturally by foraging for food. It will thus become involved in behaviours and physical activities similar to birds observed in the wild. Having a pet bird obtain food entirely by foraging is a revolutionary concept that offers numerous benefits to both the bird and its human companion.

Field trials indicate that parrots fed from traditional dishes spend between 15 to 27 minutes feeding, whereas, birds that have made a complete transition to foraging for their food must dedicate 4 to 6 hours per day to feeding activities.

Creative Foraging System is the only pet bird feeding regimen on the market that provides environmental enrichment, continuous stimulation and vigorous physical exercise.

Increase foraging opportunities by using multiple foraging devices installed in different locations. Position devices so that some are more difficult than others to access and change locations frequently. The feeding devices may be filled with your choice of food products, such as extruded pellets, dried fruit, shelled nuts, sliced vegetables, seeds and other treats.

The goal is to make the bird work for its food.

The Starter Kits are available in two different sizes and include a number of free refill boxes as detailed below. Additional refill boxes are also available (sold separately)

Small Starter Kit
One small vertical polycarbonate box holder and 10 multi-compartment foraging boxes. The box will hold approximately 1/2 cup of most extruded or pelleted dits.

Large Starter Kit
One large vertical polycarbonate box holder and 10 multi-compartment foraging boxes. The box will hold approximately 1 cup of most extruded or pelleted diets.


A note on the Foraging Boxes: The boxes and honeycomb inserts are made from USDA-approved chipboard, an eco-friendly, biodegradable material. All boxes are free of glue and/or any toxins that might be harmful to your pet bird. The box is heavy enough to maintain its configuration, but it must be torn apart inorder to gain access to the contents. The bird chews or tears into the box to find food. After discovering the food source, it continues chewing or tearing through the honeycomb layers to continue accessing additional food.
