Pet birds need a lot of stimulation to keep them amused and bird accessories are a must to keep them happy and have a healthy active life. If any bird is left in a bird cage and is not paid attention to it will become very bored and withdrawn and it can become unhealthy to them, both physically and mentally. They will also become vary wary of people if they are not handled regularly. This would be a shame as all birds, including Budgerigars, Parakeets, Cockatiels, Parrots, Canaries just to name a few all thrive on attention and stimulation from both humans and bird accessories.
Charlie our Quaker Parrot loves attention all the time. He will definitely let you know if he wants company. He makes that much noise that we have to put on our bird bib and let him hop onto our shoulder. We wouldn’t think of letting him onto our shoulder without a birdbib which protects our clothing from birds pooh, a great bird accessory. Once he is on our shoulder he stops squawking straight away. He just loves it. Spoiled I think, but so what we enjoy it also.
We have a wide variety of bird accessories both in and outside our home. He has his bird cage that he is only mainly in at night time as we leave the door open all day, most of the time he will sit on top of the cage. When he sees one of us eating something he climbs down the cage and runs across the couch and up onto whom ever is eating and wants what ever it is that we are eating. He can be quite a little pig at times. In his cage we have a variety of perches that are different widths to give him exercise for his claws. We also have the traditional mirror that most people I’m sure would have. Charlie isn’t really keen on the mirror, he would rather play with the pet products that are made with strings, which we change around in his bird cage regularly to avoid boredom.
In our living area we have a gym as we call it that we made up ourselves. It has both a mixture of pet products and items from around the house that he likes to play with. On the stand we have put a piece of the shell grit bird paper, a cuttle-bone for his beak, a tree branch that we change regularly with different shapes of branches. We have also tied up around the stand a ribbon that he loves to throw around and try to undo.
Outside he has his outdoor gym or tree house as we sometimes call it which is made up of a barbeque stand with once again a variety of different shapes and sizes of different objects to keep him entertained, like a larger tree branch with toys attached here and there. He can also climb onto the palm tree that it is attached to and have a swing on the palms which is important to work out the muscles in his legs. We do have to keep an eye on him all the time that he is outside as sometimes he gets up too high in the tree and he once flew over our back fence when he was startled. After that incident we don’t let him get up too high. We also have a bird bath sitting on the grass below his tree house that he absolutely loves the best out of all of the bird accessories that we have come up with. He scurries down the tree branch when we fill it up and splashes around for quite awhile and then climbs straight back up into his little bird haven and grooms himself.
We believe that we do our best to keep our pet bird stimulated and healthy with a wide variety of bird toys that we change frequently. It is important to check out thoroughly any bird accessory as some of them contain toxins that can kill your bird. The toxins may not kill them straight away but over a period of time they will. Birds become quite bored with the same bird toys around all of the time, so it is important to change them regularly not only for your bird’s amusement but also for your sanity, happy bird happy owner.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
