Environmental enrichment toys help relieve anxiety, promote mental and physical stimulation, and provide entertainment, play, and perching. The health of our birds, as well as the stage of their lives, confidence and experience should be taken into account before encouraging them to exercise. Let's learn to observe our birds' exercise habits, endurance, level of physical activity, ability and interest in participating, as this can help assess their health and well-being.

  THE RIGHT TOYS FOR OUR BIRDS

  The design, colors and textures seduce the attention of the birds. The combination of stimulating activities such as foraging and foraging along with the exercise toy (bouncing perch) provide additional stimulation.

  Undoubtedly, flying is the definitive exercise, developing cardiovascular endurance is extremely important, although it is not the only activity that can provide exercise. If we have the opportunity to observe birds in the wild, we see that they also exercise a lot while feeding, hanging from branch to branch, interacting with the flock, grooming and socializing.

In captivity, the pet bird that does not have the opportunity to live in an environment that allows it to fly, the caregiver must be creative in offering activities and toys that stimulate exercise. The goal is to encourage flapping to climb, and maintain balance.

Keepers often assume their birds are exercising because they spend most of the day perched on top of their cage. Sadly, that doesn't mean the bird is exercising or developing cardiovascular endurance.
