A Toy A Day - Handcrafted natural parrot toys
Most parrot toys are built with plastic and materials no parrots should ever put in their beak. The problem? Parrots chew. That's what they do. We started A Toy A Day because we wanted something natural and safe for our flock. They are our life long companion, they deserve better. Every toy is now handcrafted in the UK from natural materials — balsa, sola wood, willow, and sisal. No plastic. No nasties. Just beautiful, enriching toys designed to challenge your parrots and providing them with foraging and shredding fun. Because happy birds don't just need a perch. They need a purpose.

Budgie Rescue Wirral are a very small, home-based and self-funded rescue, operating in the Mersyside area.
We're in the process of registering as a charity, and hope to continue networking with other parrot and animal rescue organisations across the UK. We believe that we're stronger together!
Our aim is to advocate for budgies, promote budgie welfare, and support people too. We're always learning, and believe in a 'know better, do better' culture. These little budgies are beautiful, clever, but sadly often underestimated and undervalued; they deserve the very best and more education is needed. We strive to be compassionate and curious in all we do.
We rescue locally found (stray) budgies and try to reunite them with their guardians. We also take in surrendered budgies from across the North West. We have recently started an adoption process to rehome some of our rescued budgies to committed pet guardians and larger aviaries. We don't breed - believing that there are already enough budgies in this world who need loving homes.
What began as a small sideline, has become a steep learning curve; a growing community of committed bird lovers and fabulous supporters who we couldn't function without!
