Tips for Bird Toys
Tips for Bird Toys
The bird toys should be sturdy and strong, since it will be exposed to the tough beaks and pecking of birds. If the toys have certain parts that come apart, they should be avoided. There are several reputed toy companies, which allow buyers to find out whether the colors used in the bird toys are harmless dyes or not. If there are metal parts in the toys, you need to be careful since these can be dangerous to most birds. The popular bird toys include plastic toys with smooth surfaces, which can be cleaned easily. If you are fastening bird toys to the cages, it's better to use purpose made clips for the purpose.
Mirrors as Bird Toys
Most of small birds like the presence of mirrors in their cages. But it has been observed that many male birds start trying to feed their reflection. In that case, the mirror should be removed. In other cases, birds start bonding with their reflection and turn aggressive when there is no reaction from the mirror.
Bird Toys and Bird Size
The size of bird toys should be decided keeping the bird's size in mind. Birds tend to break or chew the toys, which are smaller in size, and small fragments may even result in choking the bird. The birds also get scared by the presence of larger toys in their cages. All types of pet birds like ladders, though its size should still be proper. Smaller birds also prefer wheels or swings whereas larger birds may use swings though not as eagerly. Almost all birds enjoy seesaws.
Intelligent Toys for Intelligent Birds
Larger birds prefer maze and puzzle type bird toys. Parrots love puzzles especially if there are nuts inside. They also like toys with knots, usually of leather or other suitable hide which uses their curiosity and intellect. If you are using bird toys with threads, you need to keep watch for loose fragments, which should be removed as quickly as possible.
Rotate the Bird Toys
The bird toys present in the cage should be rotated from time to time to refresh the environment for your birds. You need not spend a lot of money on bird toys and can even make them at home. All you need is a little observation and care, as well as some toilet rolls and newspapers. Birds simply love these items as they play by destroying or hiding under them. You can even use teething rings or other discarded baby toys. Parrots can be amused for long time using colorful buttons in transparent plastic bottles.
Some of the popular homemade bird toys are: -
1. Rope and Block – Take a block of wood and thread it with cotton ropes knotted at both ends. It makes a great bird toy and will entertain your pet for a long time.
2. Bottle Toy – Pet birds are highly intelligent creatures and they love to crack puzzles. Take a transparent plastic bottle and place many colored bird safe objects within the bottle. Birds feel curious at the sight of these objects, which are visible but cannot be reached.

Why does a male bird have brighter colours than a female?
some birds are brilliantly coloured,others dully?what is the reason?
Most of the time, this is not quite true, but for the sake of your question i'll pretend it is. [some male birds mght not have brighter colors but for example be bigger than the females - they impress through size].
This is, because that is the way they attract the females, to impress then and thus make them mate with them. Survival is the basic instinct in every animal and mother nature helps them reproduce more easily this way.
