Birds need toys to stimulate their senses and their natural instinct to forage and move. In the wild, birds will fly from area to area, foraging for food, bathing and preening all day. Some birds do play in the wild, but most of their time is spent trying to live, just like any other animal. Because birds are taken care of in captivity, they have no need and are not able to fly around and search for food. This leaves a pet bird with many hours of nothing to do.

There are many types of toys and not all birds will play with every type. Try new toys often and rotate them on a bi-weekly to monthly basis so your bird does not get bored.

I believe that some of the best types of toys are foraging toys. These are toys that hide food or treats in and they stimulate that natural instinct to find food. it keep a bird busy while exercising their muscles and stimulating their mind.
