Simple Parrot Toys

My pet parrot Kiwi is not much of a play time birdie. In fact, she is a perch potato. Getting her engaged in play time has become quite a chore. There are not many parrot toys that interest her so it has been difficult to get her off her perch. I found that Kiwi loves anything with paper string and palm fiber. In fact, she could chew all day on woven palm fiber, shredding it until it is all gone. She also loves to preen paper string and chew it up into little tiny bits.

I decided to give her toys with only natural fibers similar to what shew would chew on in her natural habitat. This has made a huge difference in her activity level. It seems that her natural instinct to forage is very strong and playing with anything that seems unnatural just does not interest her.

Some of her favorite toys are bamboo chew tubes, box of fun, and finger trap man. It’s a good thing that these toys are inexpensive since she loves to shred her natural fiber toys.
