It's Time to Play...and Learn!

Birds are some of nature's greatest athletes. The are designed for flight. The physiologic requirements for flight make the bird unique in many regards. Although it is often not wise or safe to allow flight, the need for exercise remains. Most healthy birds will instinctively find ways to play vigorously. To maintain cardiovascular and respiratory health birds need to exercise. The only way to develop healthy bones and muscles is to use them.

There is no bird toy that is 100 per cent safe so keep an eye on your bird while playing with his/her toys.
When you give a bird a toy make sure that it is the right size for your bird.
Examine toys daily. Trim away stray rope or string.
If your bird begins making a nest with a toy then remove that toy.

Toys not only challenge your bird's strength and agility, but also your bird's imagination. Here are some of the best toys available, designed to challenge your bird's strength, imagination and agility.

The Manual of Parrot Behavior

Because of their intelligence, playfulness and ability in mimicry, parrots are the most widely kept companion birds. In the wild, these birds are normally social, living with others. In captivity most are kept in a cage without other birds. The advantage of caging psittacines is that they are more likely to become tame and develop their powers of mimicry. The disadvantage, however, is that in this environment, they develop behavior problems that can take many forms, including biting, screeching and self-mutilation.

Bringing together a host of international experts on avian behavior, including Dr. Fern Van Sant of For the Birds, Andrew Leuscher explores the many facets of parrot behavior, both normal and abnormal, and offers useful techniques of diagnosis and treatment.

Species covered include Macaws, Amazon Parrots, African Grey Parrots, Cockatiels, Budgerigars and Cockatoos. This authoritative reference, the first of its kind, is a necessary addition to the library of any practitioner who sees avian companions, as well as well-informed owners of companion birds..
