African grey toys are a necessity, not an option. This social and intelligent birds needs activity and mental challenge. These birds have the intelligence level of a 5 year old, and the temperament of a 2 year old. Like a bored 2 year old, a bored bird will scream for attention. If that doesn't work they may resort to feather plucking.
To keep parrots entertained, rotate play objects and move swings and climbing apparatus to new positions. Have different trinkets and toys for cage time and playgym time. Introduce a new play object by imitating play activities. Like a toddler, your bird will want to join in the fun.
African greys love materials they can chew, shred, throw, or tear into pieces. They enjoy dangling parts and untying knots. Puzzles with treats inside are challenging and encourage normal foraging activities. Add to the fun with inexpensive games like hiding treats in wadded up newspaper. Offer fruits and veggies on a skewer-style rod. Attach a wiffle ball to the cage with rope or rawhide and fill with treats, veggies, fruits.
Don't let your caged bird become a perch potato. Encourage movement with ladders, ropes, swings, and chains. Make sure your parrots gets quality out of cage time with climbing structures and different toys, a different world to explore. Some parrots also like a hammock to sleep or hide in when tired or stressed.
Many parrot owners report that their parrots love moving objects from a full container to an empty container. This is a great use for broken toy parts. Restring broken trinkets and baubles to make a new toy.
Homemade toys add diversity to your parrots play time, just be careful to build safe toys. Use non toxic materials with no sharp edges. Make sure baubles are too large to be swallowed. Choose materials that won't break, shatter, or splinter. Colored newsprint contains unhealthy dies. Cardboard contains toxic glues. Birds can rip and swallow plastic bags, felt, toilet paper.
Not all wood is safe. Birds can swallow splinters. Processed wood contains paint and lacquers. Many woods are toxic to birds such as redwood, box elder wood, and hemlock. Some safe woods are maple, apple, beech, birch, elm, manzanita, ash, poplar, dogwood, and cottonwood. Best to check with your vet before introducing wood from your yard or garden.
Remove broken, splintered, and cracked objects, and frayed ropes. Parrots can catch their talons or beaks in a frayed rope. Use only stainless steel chains. Don't use key chains which often contain zine or brass. Hanging structures should be securely attached so swinging, playing birds won't suddenly go plunging to the ground.
Size must be safe so parrots can't get their feet or beaks caught in the toy. Always buy play things and climbing structures sized appropriately for your parrot. Too small and they will break. Small pieces can be swallowed.
When we cage a bird, it's only right and moral to provide a fun and stimulating environment. Keep your bird healthy and happy with African Grey toys. Provide a rich, diverse environment with dangling trinkets, musical objects, climbing structures, and foraging activities. Add to homemade trinkets and games with store bought games and climbing structures. Visit your local pet or bird store, or check online retailers.
