Description

Product description Bird Toys for Large Pet Birds Super Bird Creations bird toys designated for large pet birds are suitable for desertcarts, African Greys, Eclectus, Small Cockatoos and Mini Macaws. Since 1992, Super Bird Creations has been focused on designing bird toys and products to address the instinctual needs of pet birds to help ward off boredom, depression, aggression and destructive behaviors by stimulating physical activity, curiosity and mental engagement. Our bird toy designs utilize a diverse selection of stimulating materials and encompass all the critical destructible, interactive, comfort, exercise and foraging bird toy categories necessary to ensure the well-being of pet birds. For large bird toys we utilize medium to hard woods like pine, birch and maple as well as a variety of other materials to encourage exploration and chewing. Of course, we also incorporate lots of other fun and colorful features to stimulate their visual, tactile and auditory senses and to challenge their minds. Depending on your bird's individual preferences and playstyle these toys may also be suitable for birds in other size categories. Please see additional size recommendations on the individual product pages. Playthings with a Purpose! Instinctively, pet birds are still very much like their wild counterparts. Play is a natural behavior for parrots. Wild parrots have been observed engaging in several different kinds of play including object play, balancing games, play that involves movement, acoustic play and social play with other birds like “chase me” or pretend fighting. However, in captivity, opportunities to participate in natural activities have been reduced to a bare minimum leaving a lot of “free time” often leading to boredom which in turn has been shown to result in the development of behavioral, mental, and physical health problems. Providing enrichment in the form of purposely designed bird toys can alleviate boredom. Bird toys are more than mere playthings when it comes to your bird! Providing pet birds with opportunities to chew, forage, preen and explore is critical to their well-being. Bird Toy Types and Benefits Foraging toys - Toys in which treats can be hidden, skewered and or imbedded to encourage movement and exploration. Destructible toys - Chewing is a major activity in the wild and essential to maintaining beak health. Exercise toys - Swings and Bungees challenge a bird’s balancing skills while ladders and ropes promote legwork and increase climbing activity. Comfort toys - Pet birds, especially when they are alone, like to snuggle up to or crawl into something soft and cuddly. Tents and snuggle toys help to alleviate their stress and provide birds with a sense of security. Preening toys – Materials like seagrass and crinkle paper provide an excellent outlet for birds to satisfy their desire to preen and to discourage feather picking and mutilation. Mechanical toys - Birds are very intelligent creatures, and many enjoy untying knots, undoing nuts and bolts and exploring and manipulating toy parts. Bird-Safety is our #1 Goal Super Bird Creations responsibly sources the materials used in our products to ensure their quality and safety. Our designs are further evaluated for any potential risks and field tested by our own precious flock. As with kids, no toy is 100% safe for all birds. Use common sense and supervise your bird when you first give him a new toy and always be sure to purchase toys that are properly sized for your bird. Avian Vet Approved Super Bird Creations bird toys are recognized by avian experts as some of the safest available on the market. We take great pride in our 30+ year track history of creating safe enrichment for parrots. Our bird toys are recommended, distributed and even purchased by avian vets for their own birds! We Love to Make Birds Happy! Our primary desire is to enrich the lives of pet birds by designing "Playthings with a Purpose". As such, we offer a variety of products to address the hardwired instinctual needs of captive birds to chew, forage and preen. A diverse selection of stimulating colors, textures, shapes, and moveable parts are incorporated into our designs to make them of maximum interest to birds and their owners.

So for Christmas I got the parrots bells. Lol like it’s not noisy enough. Anyway they love them. They won’t rust so safe for my buddies. Review: Crazy about bells. - My b&g macaw has always loved his bells. This stainless steel one has a nice tone to it, not as obnoxious as some others. It's very well made for big birds. He's tried pulling the clapper out but can't. The chain length is also just right. I'd recommend this to anyone who has a larger parrot. They'll love it!
