FORAGING WHEEL: The wheel is a favorite of highly active parrots, especially Amazons, Caiques, Cockatoos, and Macaws, and very bright parrots, such as African Greys. In fact, this foraging device seems to be enthusiastically enjoyed by most parrots. To turn the cover plate and expose the food items within each chamber, the bird must turn the knob.  The setup process only takes a few minutes, but your parrot will be engaged for several hours. To release the wheel from the bracket to fill it, pull down the latch on the bottom of the bracket, raise the cover plate, and unhook it at the top. The wheel is then free. Unscrew the cover plate, fill the chambers, put the cover plate back on, hook the wheel on the top, and fold down. To secure the wheel to the bracket, press inward on the bottom latch, and it will snap closed. To encourage a bird to keep working the wheel, fill each chamber with a different food item.
