I've been told that the ones for horses aren't the same as the ones used for birds as they are more rubbery.

I think you would have a better luck with Jolly Balls sold for dogs; basically the hard outer shell with the holes and a softer ball on the inside which you can deflate and take out.

I bought mine from online stores in Canada; I could give you the links, but it might prove to be expensive to ship to England.

BTW Natacha- what size did you get for your Poi? One site tells me 6 inch is correct and the other says the 10 inch.


I have two 10".

have emailed both the stores you mentioned but i think it will be too expensive to ship to uk. cant find any in uk. will definetly have to save up to get one. :senegal: was quoted $60 for the ball then $50 for shipping and could be import tax as well. that works out at about 60 gbp. thats expensive but worth it. will get one eventually. unless anyone is coming to uk??? ha ha!

I would love to be able to come to the UK! I'd have to convince my husband and get some monies and time off from work.

I ordered mine from Pionus Parrots! Hope it doesn't take too long to get here!

P.S.

If I ever come to the U.K. I will definitely bring you one!

Got mine today! It's amazing. There are so many toys on it and she put my birds names on it. Pretty cool.

kimbo,

I was in pets corner today and I saw this ball:

It seems to be available quite readily online although you may want to first check what it is made from...
