Parrot Toy Survey
 We often get requests from new or existing customers about what toys/products we would recommend for their bird, and we’ve had lots of great feedback from many of you over the past few years that has helped us do this. But we’d like to do it even better!
Over the next few months we'll be gradually adding toy profiles for a variety of parrot species to our information pages, and we’d greatly appreciate your help by completing the survey below.
Instructions
- Simply reply to this email and answer the questions below (just type in the gaps between questions).
- If you complete the survey we’ll provide a $10 voucher (Australian dollars) that can be redeemed in your next purchase with My Parrot Shop!
- Voucher Conditions: The survey must be completed by 11 Oct 2009 to receive a voucher which is redeemable once-only; the voucher will expire 31 Jan 2009; our vouchers only work against the product total (not postage costs); please allow a few days for us to email you a voucher code.
Tips
If you are answering for more than one bird, please specify which bird you are talking about at the time.
Try to give examples.
Specific details are welcome, e.g. - not "my bird destroyed the toy quickly" but rather "my bird broke the toy so it was unusable on the second day" or "my bird chewed the toy into splinters over a week".
Please don't feel limited to the products we sell when giving examples.
Survey Questions
Please reply to this email and type your answers in the gaps between questions.
1. What bird/s do you have?

4. What toys has your parrot attacked with vigour immediately upon its introduction?
5. What about once it's had a while to ponder it first (a week, a month, half a year) – are there any toys that suddenly took off?
6. Are there toys/products that have been particularly successful in a certain location?
7. What sort of destructive power has your bird shown?
e.g. “Bobby destroyed the Seek a Treat toy in less than a week” or “Mabel is quite gentle with her toys normally but can go crazy during the spring”.

e.g. “My parrot loves to suck or chew on leather”
