Overall: This is an excellent product and great choice to make. This product is MUCH SAFER to use than the fuzzy polyester snuggle hut that is sold. I have 2 green cheek conures and they love this seagrass snuggle hut. One bird was slightly afraid to use it at first, but that same bird also never had experienced any sort of hide-away in his cage before this either…and after leaving the product in the cage for a week the bird that was a little afraid of the hut at first has also warmed up to using it and now both of my green cheek conures easily fit in the snuggle hut and happily enjoy crawling into the snuggle hut for a nap or to chew on it a little. This particular sea grass snuggle hut isn’t huge, and I’m not sure if they sell a “large” version. So I’m pretty sure any small/medium bird like budgies, conures, cockatiels, could fit in this product. This product is definitely not for a fully grown African Gray or Macaw unless they’re small babies (and will eventually outgrow this hut). The only downside to this product that I can think of (and it still isn’t an issue for me yet), is IF your bird chew this toy up, the toy has some structural wire holding its safe together, and at that point I wouldn’t think the exposed wire is safe and you should simply throw out the used-up toy and get another. Recommendation to other bird owners: This product COULD encourage some nesting behaviors, especially if you have two birds in the same cage. If you want to try to avoid that, then I still would highly recommend the product, but I just wouldn’t cover it up with anything like a small towel, and I wouldn’t put any bedding inside of the snuggle hut, and I wouldn’t put the hut in a corner of the cage so that it feels like it has “3 walls” around it…that way this snuggle hut hopefully seem like less of a nest and more of a great place to hide and snuggle and sleep. No promises though, a product like this could encourage any behavior in birds since they’re all different. And no matter what, I still recommend any bird/parrot owner to try out this product. If it doesn’t work out then worst case return it, or gift it, or sell it, or maybe try it out again later on to see if your birds opinion of the product has changed. I’ll also reiterate that this bird hut is SAFE(er), but still not perfect and nothing really is perfect, as this snuggle hut is using natural sea grass instead of using the fuzzy polyester fibers on the alternative snuggle hut (which is NOT safe). As far as I know, no bird has died or become sick from this sea grass snuggle hut, and a VERY large specialty bird store near my house only sells this sea grass snuggle hut, and they always advise people to NOT buy the fuzzy polyester snuggle hut. The competitor’s polyester fuzzy snuggle hut has fibers that could *literally* KILL your bird if it tries to eat lots of the polyester fibers. Be warned...polyester fibers WILL get stuck in your bird’s gut and the bird will not be able to poop these fibers out (it’s especially bad for smaller/medium birds), and if your bird eats a lot of the polyester fibers (in the competitor’s product) then your bird could die from their gut getting clogged up by these fibers… Birds eating the polyester fibers of the “other” snuggle hut HAVE ACTUALLY DIED and you don’t want to be the person who killed your bird through good intentions and a simple and avoidable mistake. As with ANY toy...be sure you supervise your bird(s) with it to make sure they're not going to potentially harm themselves with it...especially before leaving the toy in your birds cage cage 24/7 when you're not around to watch all their actions. To the other reviewers who rated this product lower than 5 stars: I think this bird snuggle hut is amazing. Lets be real here...you should know what youre buying before you buy it, and you should also know the nature of birds in general; and I'll briefly speak to that. This same scenario applies when you buy any other bird product as well. To the folks lowering the rating on this item because their bird is scared of the item OR because their bird shredded it up....REALLY?...You're going to blame this type of product based on your birds personality?? EVERY BIRD HAS IT'S OWN UNIQUE PERSONALITY! Some are scared by the color red, some are scared by round objects with little holes in them, etc, etc…Some birds love crunchy sounds and other birds hate crunchy sounds, etc. Why would you rate this product down because your bird is scared of it? I personally feel that if the product itself arrived as described and in good condition, then you got what you paid for. If your bird hated it, that’s not really the products fault lol...You could probably buy 30 other totally different bird toys and your bird could hate any (or all) of them for any number of reasons... Also, this is a natural sea grass toy! Your bird might chew it up...but so what! ALL BIRDS love to chew and shred stuff up! (If you want to debate my choice of words "all birds”, then lets say MOST birds love to chew and shred). It's natural foraging for birds to explore with their beaks and play and shred this unit up. Again back to reality...you want to discredit this product because its a natural grass toy that your bird can play, sleep, and rest within and on top of, as well as chew it up and enjoy the product? If you wanted an indestructible bird product that lasts forever then buy them something hard and uncomfortable like plastic or potentially dangerous and cold and uncomfortable metal slabs (sarcasm)...I'm sure the plastic product will last a bit longer, and I’m sure the indestructible yet overall crappy metal product will last unused forever… but I doubt your bird will enjoy that as much as they might enjoy a snuggle hut like this particular sea grass product. Long story short, go into buying this product with the expectations that you might find yourself buying this same product in the near or distant future. But keep in mind that you'll find yourself buying it again because your bird loved having fun with it and you want your bird to be happy! Good luck to all of my fellow avian owners and wishes of long and happy lives for all of our birds.
