Parrot Island Treasure Chest Foraging Toys
One
of the things we all know we need to do is keep our companion parrots happy.
One part of this responsibility is keeping them busy and their intelligent brains
stimulated. Many of us who have worked long-term with companion birds have come
to the realization that we may be handing them too much too easily - they have
an unending supply of food available right in front of them, their toys hang
there ready to be destroyed and their owners are many times too willing to spend
extensive time simply cuddling their bird without really teaching or challenging
that intelligence. This is most likely how much of the boredom or over dependence
on the owner to occupy the birds time may ensue. In the wild - virtually nothing
is handed easily to these animals - they work for food (forage) much of the
day and even their play and interaction involves problem solving and thought.
So we decided (and were cheered on by Sally Blanchard of the Companion Parrot
Quarterly, and Dr. Tammy Jenkins). As with all toys these should be
supervised until yo see how your bird reacts and plays with it. We have extensively
tested these toys with our birds and many others - but to quote Sally Blanchard:
"There is no 100% safe toy for parrots". Please contact us with any
or questions and we would appreciate your feedback on any of our products -
Thank You.
