Pet birds have a natural instinct to chew and destroy better known as foraging. Learn how to provide toys to let them forage in the cage!
Foraging is a natural instinct that birds use everyday in the wild. Birds need to fly and find their food in the world by using their foraging abilities. This is when they chew, break apart, shred and really destroy objects in order to find out (or forage) what’s inside. Foraging also conditions beaks, talons and gives excellent mental stimulation.
Foraging bird toys are a great way to safely provide destructible items in the cage for them to enjoy. Toys made for this purpose have lots of chewable and/or shreddable materials as their purpose is to be shredded apart. To make it even more rewarding to play add pets favorite treats inside of the toys for them to forage! Each bird has their own preferences, likes, dislikes and thrills. This is no different with toys and it may take some experimenting to discover your pets most favorite toy design. With any pet bird its good practice to introduce new toys periodically. This keeps things exciting for them and makes it even more mentally stimulating to explore the new item. Here are (3) of our handmade foraging toys designed specifically to be chewed and shredded!
