Bender is now addicted to sola balls - but holy cow they’re expensive with how fast he shreds them!

Where can I find them cheapest?

If you live in the US, you could try California Bird Nerds, My Safe Bird Store, TBB Toys, A Bird Toy. They all sell in bulk so you can make your own.

Google 'the coconut king'. His site looks very early 2000s and seems kind of sketchy from first glance, but he's legit. I get sola sticks/balls by the pound from him, for extremely low prices. I make them into toys for my conure, by sticking them onto stainless steel skewers. My conure LOVES these homemade toys, and we've never had a problem with quality.

I bought some the other day (first time I have seen them) and thought they were fairly well priced- I got 4 balls for $5.

That’s exactly what I do - stick them on his kabob! It’s a good way to offer him an ever-changing variety. I will check out the site - thank you!

Just a headsup that this past week I got an email that The Coconut King has a new owner, as the previous owner retired. So I can't vouch for the quality of their current products. I'm hopeful they'll stay as good/cheap though!

Oh no! I was planning to place an order with them when bender ran out. Let me know if you place an order and I will do the same!

Will do! I'll probably be placing an order sometime in the next week or two, as if the product quality is going to change, I imagine it will do so when the previous owner's inventory runs out so I want to order soon.

I'm going to have to try out Coconut King. Ari is going through the sola balls much quicker lately. They get so expensive!

That’s how it started with bender too - he was slow at first and then he got obsessed!! He likes it when I put sunflower or safflower seeds in the holes.

Huge fan of CA bird nerds! I’ve been buying from them since bender was a baby - the toy in my avatar pic was from them. They don’t sell sola balls (or didn’t last I checked) but I did get sola chips

I ordered a large package of sola rounds. Are those the same thing?
