One acrylic or plastic toy per cage for durability also provides a source for climbing and swinging across the cage. Hang one wood toy for chewing, and one leather or sisal rope toy to satisfy preening needs. A swing is a must for any bird. Swings provide a source for amusement, exercise and a fun place to perch. Refillable toy hangers are a constant source of entertainment for those extra large beaks.
Many toy manufacturers sell refill kits that can be used to refill toys or repair existing toys.
These toys are a real money and time saver. Foot held toys such as dumb bells, natural rawhide bones, and plastic rings are great exercise for your birds feet. Old toy parts come in handy for this use too. Toys need to be washed, disinfected and inspected regularly for possible safety concerns. Make it part of your routine and change the toys weekly when you do your thorough cage cleaning.
