What is Bongo Box?
Bongo Box is a personalized mystery toy box made just for your flock. Each box is customized based on your bird’s play style, preferences, and your budget.
We specialize in budgies, cockatiels, conures, and similar small birds, but we love all parrots! Feel free to ask us if you have questions!
How It Works
-
1. Pick Your Plan
Choose your budget, 100% of which goes directly toward toys from our website. If you pick $50, you will get $50 of toys. Grab a one-time box as a special treat for your flock or to try it out, or subscribe to keep the enrichment coming every month.
-
2. Tell Us About Your Flock
You share your bird's species, play style, favorite materials, things they dislike, and any restrictions. The more information we receive, the better we can tailor your box to your unique bird! Everything you tell us is taken into consideration when we build your box!
-
3. We Handpick Your Toys
Using your bird's profile, we personally select toys from our handmade designs that match their preferences and maximize your budget. These are not toys you are going to find at your local pet store!
-
4. We Make the Toys
Every toy is handmade by us using bird-safe materials and food grade dyes. Since they are custom made, we can tailor toys to ensure they match your standards.
-
5. We Ship It to Your Door
Your completed Bongo Box ships within our posted processing times (usually 7–10 business days) from Michigan, USA. Be ready for happy beaks.
-
6. Change Your Plan At Anytime
Life changes, and we understand that! Pause, skip, reschedule, adjust your budget, or cancel at any time. You are always in control of your Bongo Box experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many toys are in a box?
Each box is unique to you based on the information you provide. We wanted to make sure that these were as customizable as possible, so putting a set number of toys per tier doesn't work for all birds unfortunately. We use the budget you set to go "shopping" in our own store for your bird to maximize those funds as much as possible.
As an example, a $35 box might contain 2-4 toys, while a $50 box might contain 3-6 toys. The value will always be at minimum the budget you set.
What kind of birds is this best suited for?
Our specialty and focus is smaller birds, such as cockatiels, conures, and budgies, but we love all parrots! Take a look around the site to see if you think your bird would like what we have to offer, and if you have any questions, we are always happy to help!
Can I get a refund or return my order?
The short answer: No (as long as it wasn't a mistake on our end).
Due to the nature of our products and out of respect for the health and safety of all birds (including ours!) we are unable to accept returns. That said, if we ever make a mistake, we will always make it right. Your satisfaction matters to us!
Every Bongo Box is built entirely around the information you provide at checkout, and we encourage you to be as detailed as possible when sharing your bird's likes, dislikes, and any restrictions. Species alone doesn't tell us much, as we have large bird customers who love shredding balsa and small bird customers who prefer hardwoods! The more you share, the better we can curate a box your flock will truly enjoy.
If you have any questions or concerns before placing your order, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to help you figure out if Bongo Box is the right fit for your flock!
I have more than one bird. Can I order just one box?
Yes! Just let us know what all you have and what their individual likes and dislikes are, and we will try to make sure everyone gets something! We recommend at least a $35 box for 2 birds. If you have large birds or birds that like thick woods, we recommend $45+, as those toys are usually about $15 to $20 each to start.
Can I request specific toys?
Yes! At anytime before your box bills out, feel free to reach out by replying to the reminder email, using the chat features, or by Facebook or Instagram to let me know what toy you would like in your next box. You can also add items to your next order alongside your Bongo Box through your Customer Portal!
What subscription lengths do you offer?
Currently we offer 30, 60, 90, and 180 day plans so you can choose the plan that works best for you. Before each upcoming box, you'll receive a reminder email so you're never caught off guard. You are able to adjust your budget, change billing dates, pause, skip, or cancel at any time using the Customer Portal or sending us an email.
How long after I am billed does my order ship out?
Orders are completed in the order received and some times are busier than others! On average, we ship out within 7-10 business days, and if we think it will be longer, we will let you know.
Can I skip boxes?
Absolutely! You can change your next ship date up to a day before it ships. You can skip, reschedule, or change your billing frequency. (See Bongo Help page) I am also always available to do this for you - just send me an e-mail or message!
How do I cancel?
You may cancel at any time through My Account or by contacting me. Please note that the system will only let you cancel up to 3 days before it bills. See Bongo Help page for directions on cancellation.
What if my payment on file is declined?
The system will automatically try to charge your account 3 days after it fails. If this also fails, the system is designed to cancelled your subscription to prevent any issues.
You should be able to resume it through the Customer Portal at any time, however if you have any problems please contact me!
How do I update my subscription information?
