Parrots are very intelligent creatures which require a lot of mental stimulation. Parrot toys are an important tool to help to satisfy this need, because you won’t always be available to keep your pet entertained. Therefore, it is very important that you provide your pet with a large variety of interesting parrot toys to play with. There are lots of different categories of toys for you to choose from, and it is important that you provide your parrot with a good selection from each category.

Tips

Do not make all of your parrot’s toys available to him at once. If you do this, he will quickly become bored with them. The best thing to do is to only put 2 or 3 toys into his cage, and rotate them with different toys every few days.
Don’t overload the cage with toys, because you will make it difficult for you parrot to move around – he may even injure himself.
Check the condition of the toys frequently to make sure that they are safe for your parrot, and immediately remove any that aren’t.

The different categories of parrot toys you can choose from are:

Activity toys.
Climbing and swinging toys.
Foot toys.
Chewable toys.
Foraging and puzzle toys.
Preening and shredding toys.

Most parrot toys aren’t expensive, and they really make a big contribution to the mental health of your pet. Therefore, my advice is to make a commitment to buy one new parrot toy every couple of weeks.
