Is this foraging toy too big for a sun?

I got this toy and love the idea that my sun conure would have to work to get the food out. But once I got it, it was a lot bigger than I thought. Is this toy too big for a sun conure? The link is to a description of the toy. Thanks!

It might be a tad on the large size, I bought the same thing for my Amazon.
But I am a believer in thinking outside the box as far as toys for birds.
My amazons have some small toys meant for much smaller birds and some of my smaller birds have toys designed for bigger birds.
I suggest trying it out, if your sun has too hard a time playing with it then take it out.

My sun has a toy that looks exactly like that... I don't think it comes in different sizes, so I believe it's the same one. And it's the perfect size for him.

I don't think it is too big at all. My birds have one of those. If he wants the treat, he'll find a way.
