Parakeet Toys

Parakeets need and love their parakeet toys. Parakeet toys provide exercise, mental stimulation and innate chewing, preening and foraging needs. We used to think that if parakeet toys just had a bell and mirror that our parakeets socialization and play needs were met. But, Parakeet Care research shows us that parakeets are smart, social pets that need special parakeet toys. Parakeets relish parakeet toys made of soft woods to chew, preening natural fibers, and foraging opportunities.

Parakeet Toys

Budgies love their parakeet toys. Our frisky budgies get bored and need something to do to enjoy life in a parakeet cage. Native to Australia, wild budgies live in flocks and fly miles a day occupying themselves with foraging for food, taking care of their feathers and preening their mate. Imagine how boring life in a parakeet cage would be without parakeet toys!

We Now Know What Parakeet Toys Are Enriching

In the past, people thought that plastic parakeet toys were sufficient to entertain their budgie. As avian researchers began observing wild birds, though, they realized the important role that chewing wood and offering natural fibers provides. Now, the prevailing belief is that the best parakeet toys feature natural fibers and soft balsa wood. Parakeet toys that contain natural materials and soft woods meet the animal needs of budgies. Chewing wood and preening plant fibers keeps parakeets busy, mentally stimulated and even conditions their beak.

So, what are our most preferred parakeet toys? Planet Pleasures makes a variety of natural fiber parakeet toys that are affordable yet entertaining for these pet birds. Parakeet toys such as the Mini Bird Brush, Caterpillar and Mini KokoCorn Cruncher provide the natural textures that budgies love. Soft balsa wood and vine parakeet toys from reputable manufacturers like Super Bird Creations offer a variety of textures and interactive parts to satisfy chewing needs and social needs of budgies and other small birds. Budgies love all of the Vine Ball and Vine Ring parakeet toys, especially the Stainless Steel Munch Kabob, Mini Munch Balls, and Vine Ring Slider. The Crazy Daisy and Mini Rainbow Bridge are made from soft woods that condition and file the beak making these parakeet toys an important part of grooming and budgie care.

If you get plastic parakeet toys, make sure that they have an interactive component to them. For instance the Parakeet sized Birdie Basketball Parakeet Toys by JW Pets if a fun way to teach your parakeet tricks.
