Benefits of Natural Toys

Like us, our feathered friends need their day to day enrichment too. Here are some of the benefits of adding natural toys to the collection.

Mental Stimulation

Birds can be curious, playful and cheeky. Natural toys like puzzle feeders or foraging toys keep their mind sharp by challenging them to think and problem-solve.

Physical Exercise

Climbing, chewing, and manipulating toys help keep my muscles strong and promote overall physical fitness.

Beak Health

Chewing on natural materials like wood or coconut shells helps keep my beak trimmed and healthy.

Natural Behaviors

Toys that mimic elements of my natural environment encourage behaviors like foraging, shredding, and preening, which are important for my mental health.

Stress Reduction

Engaging with toys helps reduce stress and anxiety by providing a productive outlet for my energy.

Preventing Boredom

A variety of toys keeps my environment interesting and prevents boredom, which can lead to negative behaviors like feather plucking.

Social Interaction

Toys that can be manipulated or moved around can mimic social interaction, especially if I’m a solo bird.

Confidence Building

Successfully interacting with and mastering new toys boosts my confidence and encourages exploration.

Enrichment Variety

Natural toys come in many shapes, sizes, and textures, offering a rich sensory experience that keeps my environment stimulating.

Safety

Natural materials are generally safer if ingested in small amounts, reducing the risk of health issues compared to synthetic alternatives. Add our natural toys to your collection.
