Parrots that get bored in a cage often direct that energy at whatever's nearest, which is the appeal of a treat that takes effort to get through rather than one that's gone in a single bite.

This is Vitakraft's honey stick, triple-baked onto a natural wooden stick with a built-in wire holder for clipping to the cage, with added vitamins and honey. It's sold two sticks to a pack, and is designed specifically for parrots.

• Added vitamins and honey
• 2 sticks per pack
• Designed specifically for parrots
• A treat, not a substitute for a parrot's main diet

On the 'complete food' claim. the maker's own description calls this a complete pet food, but it's a honey-and-vitamin treat on a stick rather than a balanced daily diet — treat that wording as marketing rather than a reason to feed it as anything more than an occasional extra alongside a proper seed or pellet food.

Who it's for: parrot owners wanting a cage-clipped treat that takes some effort to finish, as an occasional addition to a proper diet rather than a replacement for one.
