A busy bird is a healthy and happy bird and one way to keep your pet bird busy is to give them plenty of acrylic bird toys to keep them active. Stimulating your bird's environment will help keep them from getting bored or acting out. Here's everything you need to know about buying acrylic bird toys.
The Purpose of Acrylic Bird Toys
The best reason to invest in acrylic bird toys is to give your bird something to do. He needs other activities besides eating and participating in social activity with you and your family and toys are a great way to occupy a bird. It is also good to challenge him and allow him to think something through or problem solve. Some birds are very curious and intelligent. Allow them to explore these skills by rotating in a few new toys now and then to further develop and test these skills. Depending on the type of bird, they may learn new skills from the toys. Birds that repeat words and sounds may benefit from toys that are noise makers because they will be able to practice mimicking the sound.
What Kinds of Acrylic Bird Toys Are Available?
Browsing through acrylic bird toys may remind you of the recommended infant toys. Like infant toys, many of these toys are sturdy and brightly colored and most of them have some sort of action or noise to stimulate the bird. There are barbells, rotating gears, pull toys, puzzles, rattles, and toys that play songs or hide special treats for the bird to find. Whatever you choose to add to the cage should be fun and stimulating and keep your bird from getting bored.
Acrylic bird toys are also readily available. They can be found at many pet supply stores and discount stores. These are relatively inexpensive. Specialty toys can be found online and usually cost just a little more.
The Importance of Cleaning Bird Toys
Cleaning bird toys is important to keep your bird and your house healthy. You will want to deodorize and sanitize the acrylic bird toys on a weekly basis along with the rest of the cage, or as needed throughout the week. The nice thing about acrylic bird toys is that they attach and detach from the bars of the cage easily and are easy to wipe clean and most can be tossed in the dishwasher for a quick, easy and effective wash.
