Big Bruce

A bigger version of our popular Bruce toy!

This toy is intended to be mounted to the side of a cage, and will come with a 1/4" x 2" machine bolt, two 2" washers, and a wingnut to keep it safely in place. All stainless steel! 

Embedded into a piece of 3/4" unfinished pine are beads of 10mm and 8mm sizes, or I can leave the 10mm holes empty for you to fill yourself! 

Please note that because this is a handmade product, made from natural materials, variations are to be expected. 

Size is approx 10" x 5.5"

Can be dyed any color.

Recommended for Medium to Large Birds

I try to be very diligent in all aspects of toy making, from the materials used to the way they are used. That being said, every bird plays different, and it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure that the things you give to your bird are safe. If you have any questions about any aspect of my toys, please send me a message. 

For Dinosaur and embedded bead shapes:

Some birds with long, thin beaks may get their beak inside the 7/64" (~2.78mm) hole on the 8mm beads. For these birds we recommend the 9.5mm" balls as they have no hole. This makes them also a harder wood to snap than the beads. 

Quicklinks

By default, I do not include quicklinks as people have their own preferences.

Stainless Steel Hardware

For toys and perches with stainless steel hardware included or available as an upgrade, you will receive the following unless otherwise stated. All are 18-8 Stainless Steel. 

• 1/4-20 Hanger or Machine Bolt
• 1/4-20 Wingnut
• 1.5" Fender Washer

Toy parts are dyed with Vitacritter, a dye specifically made for small animals and birds. The exceptions to this are black, brown, light blue. These colors are made with Americolor food gels. 

I mix colorants with 70% isopropyl alcohol. This is because it helps the color set quickly, reducing how wet the materials get, and thereby decreasing drying time. This limits the chances for mold. 

Isopropyl alochol also disinfects, just in case there is anything on the wood, and evaporates completely when dry. 

Since these are water based dyes, it is totally normal for these to sometimes run when they are sprayed or splashed with water.
