Cockatiel Toys
Providing cockatiel toys is an important part of keeping your pet bird happy and healthy. Cockatiels are busy birds that spend a great deal of their day foraging for food. They run blades of grass through beak and scratch at the ground cruising for seeds. Cockatiels chew away hulls and shells to get at food. Favored cockatiel toys often have bird toy parts that meet the instinctual needs of these ground feeding parrots.
Flock animals, Cockatiels also love preening themselves and their mate. Running feathers through their beak allows them to keep each other’s feathers in tip top condition and offers much needed socialization. A lonely pet cockatiel doesn’t have a mate to preen so he’ll count on you to provide cockatiel toys that allow him to preen natural fibers like cotton, sisal or coconut fibers. The Mini Bird Brush and Coco Ball Toy are perfect cockatiel toys.
Cockatiels love toys that feature natural bird toy parts, like those from Planet Pleasures.
