Parrot Toys & Treats
As a pet in captivity, birds don’t have the opportunity to engage in the activities that they naturally would in the wild. Avian behaviourists who have spent time observing parrots in the wild have reported that playtime ranks second only to food gathering in priority. Birds have a natural craving to chew and a daily need to forage for food. In the wild, a parrot’s behaviour is very active and playful. They have been observed stripping bark off trees, biting off and flinging leaves and twigs, swinging from and climbing on vines all the while chattering gleefully with the rest of the flock. Instinctively, companion birds are still very much like their wild counterparts. Playing with toys is a vital substitute for natural behaviours such as foraging, nest building and interactions with their flock.
