It's time to look at RIO sticks.
It's time to look at RIO sticks.
🔅 Each stick contains between 35 to 50 ingredients, depending on the recipe.
🔅 The baking process in the oven is a unique technology, we ensure an excellent taste and a crispy texture, and, as you know, birds are very fond of crispy snacks.
🔅 The core of the sticks is a beech rod. This hard wood is perfect for grinding the beak.
🔅 We also shouldn’t forget the stick’s hermetic packaging with a tray of special shape, which protects the sticks from shedding ingredients and prevents them from touching each other.
🔅 Every set of sticks either comes with our patented removable holder - part of the RIO series for small birds -, or a built-in plastic holder for parakeets and parrots, which will allow you to conveniently fix the stick according to the size of the bird and the cage. The removable holder can be used again and again for different things like fruit or vegetables.
