Product Description

Benefits of Foot Toys

Foot toys are small toys that birds can easily pick up with their feet and chew with their beak. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures that, depending on their design, can offer a variety of enrichment benefits (chewing, foraging, preening an mechanical manipulation) to pet birds.

Toys with destructible components like paper, vine or wood will promote chewing activity essential to beak health.Foraging opportunities can easily be created out of many foot toys that allow for treats to be stuffed or hidden.Any toys that promote movement also offer the benefit of exercise. Foot toys provide essential feet and beak exercise that will help to improve muscle strength, balance, coordination and foot dexterity.Toys with small moveable parts encourage exploration and manipulation by beaks and tongues.

Foot toys are great for playing inside and outside the cage. Consider creating a “toy chest” in the bottom of your bird’s cage to contain a variety of foot toys. While spending time with your bird, they make great lap toys to keep them entertained and many birds enjoying playing with foot toys while laying on their backs or by tossing and chasing them.

Foot toys are especially great for introducing toys with various textures and colors to young birds. Playtime is part of the learning process in which birds start to identify textures, colors, shapes, and it also helps to develop coordination and dexterity. Exposure to a wide variety of objects at a young age helps to create a more confident, less fearful bird.

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.
