When it comes to bird toys you want to avoid anything that the bird can hurt itself with. Sadly, many bird toys you will find at the pet store are not suitable for your avian friend. In fact, many of them are actually harmful to them. Stick with natural toys, birds love to chew on things and it's good for their beak to do so. Seed pods, naturally seeding grasses and perches with plenty of bark are your best bet.
