Parrots get bored – fact

click to enlarge

Australian parrots are arguably the world’s most intelligent birds and it’s a pity we can’t say the same about our politicians. This means they need to be occupied with both mental & physical activities. With this intelligence comes an extraordinary degree of inquisitiveness too.

One way to give your bird something to occupy and stimulate it's inquisitive mind is suitable parrot and cockatoo toys.

Unlike finches and canaries, parrots & cockatoos are unique in that they have feet that can grasp and a beak that’s a great tool.

No matter what we do for our pet bird, the inside of the birdcage can never even come close to that bird’s natural environment. No matter what kind of pet bird you have, its wild counterpart would never have seen anything like the kind of bird toy you find in most pet stores these days.

Smooth blocks and balls in unfamiliar geometric shapes made in carpenters workshops from woods that don't exist in the wild bird’s natural habitat can’t be ideal for any cage bird. To top it off they’re usually dipped in unnatural (and sometimes toxic) chemical dyes. How can they be healthy items for inclusion in a birdcage? As for plastic…well, how would you like to get your mouth around something as inorganic?

Cockatoo and Parrot Toys

Eucalyptus Based Large Bird Toys

Do your bird a favor. No matter what kind of pet bird you have - try to get hold of some of the tree branches or leaves, fruit or nuts it would normally come across in nature. Just watching your bird enjoy itself will reward you.

Remember the toy is for your pet bird. Bird cages and bird toys are not supposed to be there as ornaments for us humans to look at – we interact with the birds themselves. If your pet bird is an Australian parrot or cockatoo then try toys made from the eucalyptus, grevillea, banksia, callistemon and casuarina trees that its wild counterparts live with in their natural environment.
