Naturally, parrots spend a great deal of time foraging – for food that requires some pretty slick thinking to get hold of. The nuts and fruit they hunt for grow in hard-to-reach places and are protected by a variety of husks, spikes and shells: parrots need to be smart to get breakfast. Parrot cages prevent parrots from foraging, which means they’ve got an abundance of frustrated cleverness that needs releasing. Parrot toys are an effective way to allow the parrot to circumvent the boredom of cages by presenting it with a series of colourful problems – like the problems it faces in the wild.
What kind of parrot toys should you buy? Well, the best advice we’ve found is to buy parrot toys that suit the size of the parrot cages your birds are in (no sense getting your macaws whacking great bits of rope if your parrot cages aren’t big enough to hold the birds and the parrot toys) – and to regularly change your parrot toys so the occupants of your parrot cages don’t get bored again. The boredom caused by parrot cages either without parrot toys or with the same parrot toys left in them for too long, can lead to severe mental distress, upsetting for bird and owner. If you’ve ever seen parrot cages whose occupants are rocking morosely, relentlessly screaming or preening themselves bald: these are the kind of things that parrot cages without parrot toys can do to these extremely intelligent birds. If you want to keep your parrot beautiful you need to keep it happy: when you’re buying parrot cages, take some time to think about the parrot toys you are going to fill it with.
