Northern parrots' website is easier to navigate. I have no experience from either of them, but I am ordering from scarlets soon.

Sadly I'm limited to northern parrots as scarletts doesn't ship to me.

I would love to buy at scarletts, their prices are lover and have some pretty cool unique stuff. The site is a mess though (SLOW)
Only on Saturday did I actually work out how to find the various pages :D

The reason I asked is that the one time I ordered from scarletts the metal hanging thing was rusty. The one time I ordered from northern parrot is was fine.

Will this toy be suitable for a ringneck.
The size is ideal for a Tiel, but a ringneck is much larger so it depends on your bird. It's a shame a lot of species are missed out in their listings, but if they included every species then listings would get very laborious to navigate.
I prefer NP's site over Scarlet's and I'm a devoted NP customer because of their much greater choice of foods and that they've nailed quality on everything I've bought. And as already mentioned, Scarlet's site is just messy.

I think this one is more suitable
I don´t think this one. I got a toy recently very similar, and I´d say it is a great budgie toy. I might reinforce mine with some orings.

Personally I'm not a fan of plastic toys. I would get something made of shreddable materials that your bird can interact with more. These toys have a mix of cardboard and wood slices that are good for encouraging chewing.



You can also try offering birdie bagels as food toys. I also include them in the toys I make

Yep I'm ordering a bunch like this but I though I should get him something like that as he likes to spin thing and make noise with them.
Maybe he would like a boing? Many of them have bells on the bottom, and lots of parrots like to jump on them and bounce on them.

I'm just worried about him chewing on the rope. Are there any that are less likely to be chewed on or do no harm when chew I would love to get him one.

As long as you check it over everyday for loose threads it should be fine, you could also use it outside of the cage (hang from ceiling or playstand) so that you can always monitor him with it (and it will last longer)

If any threads come loose, you have to replace it.
