Intelligent Birds Deserve Stimulating Bird Toys as part of their Captive Environment

Exotic bird species such as parakeets, parrots, macaws and cockatiels are intelligent birds and the need to keep them stimulated and interested with bird supplies such as bird toys in their captive environment is essential to avoid the incessant squawking and worse, feather pecking which are just a couple of symptoms of boredom and stress.

It is therefore essential to provide them with bird toys which double as toys AND puzzles, toys in which food and titbits can be hidden and the bird toys hidden in different places on a day to day basis to keep the birds emulating the behaviour which they would perform in the wild.

In the wild they would have to search out their own bird food and it is surprising how inventive and intuitive they can actually be; bird toys provided for them in a captive environment helps them adjust and stay adjusted much more that anyone would care to imagine.

Symptoms of boredom and stress in exotic birds can manifest physically in birds in many ways, the most noticeable is incessant squawking and screeching, feather plucking and feathers falling out, as in alopecia in humans.

It is therefore essential that a balanced and healthy diet of adequate bird food supplies, stimulating bird toys and a variety of different types and sizes of bird stands are supplied to keep them occupied and stop them becoming bored out of their heads.

Imagine yourself sitting in a closed room with windows, where it is possible to see outside yet inside there is nothing other than a chair; how much time would elapse before boredom set in?

Exotic birds are very sociable, not just with other species but with humans too and it is no bad idea to have one or two bird stands located around the house if they are free to roam around so they can make a part of the house their patch where they know they can be safe and are not threatened.

There are many ways and means of keeping your exotic bird(s) happy and content in a captive environment, but the most important things are to keep them well fed with quality bird food and stimulated with a superb and testing bird toy collection.

Make your pet parrot or exotic bird’s life more stimulating, more educational and ultimately more edifying for it and you the owner.

Essential Supplies for Exotic Birds Include Bird Stands

Exotic bird species including but not restricted to parrots, parakeets, macaws and cockatiels are probably the most intelligent of bird species kept in captivity and are a hard nut to crack.

Keeping these pretty boys happy is a job in itself and requires understanding and in-depth knowledge, most of which is gained over time.

However, in the interim providing them with several bird stands around the house if they are kept indoors but have free range is essential, because although exotic birds are reasonably sociable with other similar birds and humans alike they do actually need space of their own where they can retreat to when the mood takes them.

Several bird stands placed at strategic points around the home affords it (them) the opportunity to socialize or play the aloof, cool dude if they want. With experience it is best to have only one stand with food and water receptacles on to avoid lots of mess in many places.

For obvious reasons, place something to catch the bird doo-doo beneath each of the bird stands because unlike humans (well, most of us anyway) they tend to do the business where they are perched, just as they would in their natural habitat and it can be difficult to clean the carpet and can leave permanent stains. Some exotic bird owners make use of flight suits with diaper liners for their birds to overcome this very problem.

If any of the bird stands have food dispensers or receptacles attached to them make sure there is an adequate amount of bird food available at all times and make sure the bird food is changed and refreshed regularly; also please ensure that bird food, bird stands and any other bird supplies such as bird toys are sourced from a reliable and regular supplier, preferably a bird supplies company whose owners have kept their own flight of exotic birds for many years and understand them inside out.

To prevent boredom setting in, mix the feeding time into play time and place little titbits of food or goodies and treats into what are referred to a puzzle bird toys, they will have to use their guile and natural inquisitiveness to get at it, this keeps them stimulated and challenged.

Have several bird toys like this so that they can be placed in different places around the home and on the bird stands to keep it varied.

Symptoms of boredom are feather plucking, screeching sessions for no reason, biting and pacing although there are others.

Keep your bird stimulated and happy with adequate bird supplies of bird food and bird toys, but equally offer them several bird stands around the home or aviary which they can claim as their own patch.
