In the wild, birds spend lots of time playing. They strip bark from trees, swing on vines, and fling leaves and twigs. Treats and toys provide a substitute to what is found in the wild. Toys and treats offer reward, exercise, and relief from boredom for your birdie. Specifically, toys can help your bird in the following ways:
- Mental Heath: Playing is essential for healthy mental development. Birds who aren’t intellectually stimulated may display stressful behaviors like feather picking, screaming, and biting. Exposure to a wide variety of objects encourages the bird to be more confident and less fearful.
- Physical Health: Toys encourage movement and muscle contractions that increase blood circulation, coordination and dexterity. Toys can be outlet for natural aggression and an opportunity to spend energy.
Toys will help protect your feather friend from boredom, depression and poor physical health. At Pet Supermarket, we have everything you’ll need to create the perfect avian habitat for your bird. We carry a large selection of toys, perches, cuttlebones, and grooming aids. Stop in today!
