Activity
In appropriate species, opportunities may be provided for exercise in the
form of supervised freedom from the cage.
Pet birds are intelligent, active animals whose psychological needs should be
addressed. Locate the cage near family activity in the home. Toys provide
diversion, as do a variety of foods. Seeds pushed into an apple or orange
presents a bird with entertainment, challenge, and food all at the same time.
use your own imagination, keeping within safe perameters, and provide
entertainment for your pet birds.
Toys
Toys are useful as mental diversions and tend to encourage physical exercise and
beak wear; however, they must be selected with safety of the bird in mind.
"Chewable" items include branches, pine cones, rawhide dog chews, natural fiber
rope, and soft white pine.
