Parrot Toys

Parrots rank high on the intelligence of the animal list. If your parrot is bored, he can be very destructive, even self-destructive. Feather picking, chewing, screaming, and beaks air guitar is all signs of boredom and frustration. So toys are an essential part of bird ownership life, and the more variety they have, the more entertainment, they have. Here is some information about toys ideal for birds to play with.


Some toys that are good for birds is shredding toys. Toys for shredding is suitable for most every parrot species. Parrots have a natural desire to chew and tear. There are products on the market called Shredders, there is a natural woven palm lead, which is not intended to exactly what its name suggests. Just tie into your caged birds. Some may have no interest in it, but some can use a lot of time to chew on them until there are cuts across the bottom of the cage. Another type of shredder you can buy in your grocery store dried corn husk.


Piñatas are a second shredding toys that are popular and eclectic at the same time. Some come as little inextricably woven shapes, while others are actually shaped like little Pinata (which is usually for larger birds). Some can even be filled with nuts as a prize. 

Another parrot toys that are good for birds, both inside and outside the cage are foot toys that can be placed in the bottom of the cage or on the floor. These can be fun to pick up, chew on, or throw around with your little bird's heart desires. But since they are a favorite to chew, and many are made of plastic, be sure to follow the safety guidelines on the packaging.


If you're looking for toys for your bird when he comes out of the cage for play time, there are many players available, and many sizes for different sized parrots. There are some that come in basic perches or stands, and others who have toys attached to them. And if your pet bird is not interested in toys to play left, you can place some foot toys on the tripod.


Remember that birds can find new entertainment in a toy when you change them around regularly. And have some extra on the side. They may have forgotten a toy and when it is laid back, finds the whole thing more entertaining.
