DIY Quaker Parrot Toys

Quaker parrots often times need toys to keep the amused and to challenge them mentally.

Parrot toys can be broken down into several categories:

Foraging Toys:

Foraging toys are usually some type of food that the parrot can only get at once they can figure out how to open it.

Examples of foraging toys are different types of nuts such as an almond in a shell or a pecan.

Shredding Toys:

Parrots often will spend their spare time shredding things if while they are not talking.

Some people suggest giving birds edible flowers to shred. Another option here is wooden or paper toys such as a tissue paper roll.

Foot Toys:

These are types of toys that a parrot can play with by manipulating the object with their feet.

Brightly colored foot toys are usually recommended.

The main goal here is to create a challenge for the quaker parrot by using toys with movable parts.

All in all the main goal of picking toys for your quaker parrot is to find toys that will keep your parrot engaged and mentally stimulated.

Each parrot is different and you will need to figure out which type of toy your parrot likes best.

While toys are good they are no substitute for actually playing with your parrot.

Remember, parrots are social creatures!

This means they often times need a friend (another parrot or human companion).

Happy creating!
