The Parrot Place
Monthly Toy Box
A curated box of enrichment toys, crafted by hand in our Mercer Island store — made from materials we source and vet ourselves. Every month, something new for your bird.
Not Another Drop-Ship Toy Box
Most parrot toy subscriptions on the market are sourcing cheap products manufactured overseas, repackaging them, and marking them up. You've probably noticed — the same dye colors and materials across every toy.
We do it differently. We source all the raw materials — cork, balsa, mahogany pods, seagrass, sola pith, vegetable-tanned leather, pine and safe woods, food-safe dyes — and we build toys from scratch, here in the store, the same way we make the toys we sell on our shelves.
That means we know exactly what's in every toy, we can customize to your bird's size and preferences, and you're getting real enrichment value rather than paying for the international supply chain.
- Every toy built in our Mercer Island store by people who work with parrots daily
- Materials sourced and vetted for bird safety — no mystery imports
- Box contents tailored based on your bird's size, species, and chewing style
- Better price-to-value than comparable subscription boxes because we cut out the middleman
- Cancel any time — no commitment required
Choose Your Box Size
Not sure which to pick? When in doubt, size up — enrichment is always better than under-stuffed. Overlap is fine; a sun conure with big energy might love the Medium.

- Curated for your bird's species & preferences
- 6–8 handmade toys sized for medium beaks

What Goes Into Every Box
We build these the same way we build the toys in our store — with materials we've vetted, sized for real birds.
Sourced Raw Materials
Cork, balsa, sola pith, mahogany pods, pine, seagrass, palm leaf, FDA-approved food-grade plastic, stainless steel — all bought in bulk and worked here. No pre-made imported toy parts. All materials are listed for each toy.
Bird-Safe Everything
Every material is vetted for avian safety. No mystery dyes, no zinc hardware, no aromatic or treated woods. If we wouldn't put it in our store birds' cages, it doesn't go in the box.
Variety Each Month
All boxes are custom-made and designed each month. We create new toys and improve designs and material variety as we go — no repeating the same set month after month.
Tailored to Your Bird
Drop us notes about your bird and we'll adjust — harder woods for heavy chewers, more foot toys for birds that like to handle things, softer materials for younger birds.
Built in the Store
Everything is assembled by hand at our Mercer Island location by the same people who work with and care for the birds in our store every day.
Ships First Week of the Month
Boxes go out in the first week of each month. You'll get a USPS tracking number when yours is on its way.
