Why are perches important for pet birds?

Perches are essential for a bird’s foot health, exercise, and overall well-being. A variety of natural branch perches in different widths, shapes and textures help replicate natural tree branches and help prevent foot problems such as pressure sores and arthritis.

What types of toys are best for birds?

Birds need a mix of toys to stay mentally and physically stimulated. The best options include: - Foraging and puzzle toys to encourage problem-solving - Chewable and shredder toys made from natural materials such as wood or paper - Interactive toys like bells and mirrors for engagement - Climbing and swinging toys for exercise and enrichment - Rope and fabric toys should generally be avoided, especially for small parrots as the fibres can be swallowed and cause blockages in the digestive tract Rotating toys regularly helps prevent boredom and encourages natural play behaviours.

How often should I replace my bird’s perches and toys?

Perches and toys should be checked regularly for signs of wear, damage, or contamination. Wood perches may need replacing if they become damaged or difficult to clean. Toys should be rotated weekly to keep your bird engaged, and any broken or hazardous items should be removed immediately.

How can I encourage my bird to play with new toys?

Some birds take time to accept new toys. Try: - Placing the toy near their favourite perch to familiarise them with it - Playing with the toy yourself to show it's safe - Using treats or favourite foods to encourage interaction - Choosing toys that mimic natural behaviours like shredding, climbing, or foraging

Can perches be too big or too small for my bird?

Yes, perches that are too small can cause foot strain, while too-large perches can prevent proper grip. It’s best to provide a variety of perch sizes to encourage natural foot movement and prevent joint issues. For example, small birds like budgies need thinner perches, while larger parrots require thicker, sturdier perches.

Providing bird toys is essential for keeping pet birds mentally and physically stimulated. Birds are intelligent and active creatures that need enrichment to prevent boredom and destructive behaviours. Bird perches and toys such as swings, ladders, and rope toys help encourage exercise and natural foraging instincts.

Foraging toys filled with treats or puzzle feeders challenge birds and keep them engaged. Chewable toys made of bird-safe wood and natural fibers promote beak health by encouraging gnawing. Interactive bird toys like mirrors, bells, and shreddable paper add variety to their environment, reducing stress and improving overall happiness. Choosing a mix of bird toys ensures your feathered friend stays entertained and stimulated.
