Parrot Toys Now In | Bird Products |  Parrot/Parakeet Toys Parrots love to play with toys. Indeed playing constitutes an ongoing battle to demolish items as speedily as possible. Parrots require different types of toys such as paper and cardboard to shred, ropes to swing off and chew, ropes/cloth to preen, mirrors to kill, foot toys to manipulate and keep feet and toes healthy and mind challenging toys to stimulate your birds mind. Toys should be either chew resistant such as acrylic toys or good quality rubber such as kongs. Cardboard and paper must be clean and without ink. Ropes should be replaced when frayed to reduce the possibility of toes becoming trapped. Fresh wood can be used, but bear in mind that some trees are not safe for parrots to chew. Childrens building blocks can make excellent chewing material. Wooden clothes pegs with the metal spring removed make wonderful foot and shredding toys. Chain or metal should be stainless steel. Parrots love dismantling nuts and bolts. Paint must be lead free, and paint suitable for children to chew on is suitable for birds.
