Swings are wonderful for birds.
They are a source of enjoyment, body exercise and fitness, practicing balance, foot movement, and just plain something to keep your bird entertained. Swings are more than a nicety, they help your bird keep fit and healthy and help him burn off those extra calories. The movement of a swing exercises the feet and strengthens the leg muscles, helping to prevent arthritis. Balancing on a moving swing also requires use of the chest and wing muscles, areas which need exercise as well. Playing on a swing stretches and tones muscles all over the body.
