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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch3\u003e Playthings with a Purpose! \u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Providing enrichment in the form of purposely designed bird toys can alleviate boredom.
