Giving your parrot a bird play stand is just as important as choosing a safe bird cage and good diet. Why? Parrots need the opportunity to act like birds. What does that mean? Our pet parrots are only one to two generations away from their wild cousins so they continue to be wired to spend their day socializing, foraging for food, flying and preening. On top of that, we are only just now finding out the marvel of avian intelligence. Amazing animal research has shown us that parrots are among the smartest animals on earth. They can problem solve, readily store and retrieve information they've committed to memory, devise tools and even communicate fluently. In fact, parrots have been shown to be as smart as a pre-school aged child.
Smart parrots that have been stuck in a cage day after day ... everyday ...can go crazy. A parrot that is bored crazy may scream, bite or nip, feather pick and be afraid to come out of its cage. Of course, this poor parrot wants to fly the coop. No one wants that for their beloved pet. Parrots must socialize, problem solve, forage, and exercise each day. is This is true even if your bird's cage is impressively appointed. Consider this... Would you want to sit in a room looking through bars all day long. Of course not! Bird stands allow parrots to be parrots.
You probably decided to get a pet parrot for its intelligent talking ability, fun antics and beautiful plumage. Bird stands allow you to enjoy your parrot. On his bird stand your parrot can do all the fascinating things that you've come to appreciate about parrots. Its not just your parrot that needs a bird stand! Fortunately, there are different styles of safe parrot play stands. You'll be able to choose a perfect bird gym that is suitable for your parrot's activity level, personality and health needs.
So, what should you consider when you buy a bird stand? First, consider how it will catch your parrots attention. Is it a simple bird stand with a solitary perch? This style of bird stand is best for shy, scared parrots who've not learned how to play well. They are also perfect bird training stands. Well socialized and active parrots prefer bird stands that offer various levels with variable diameter perches, food bowls or foraging cups and toy hooks.
Our favorite parrot play gyms have several wood perches that simulate tree branches for hanging toys, mounting foraging cups and that encourage climbing. Our tree style bird stands are a way to put a little "jungle" in your parrot's life. And speaking of the jungle, don't miss the pioneering Get A Grip Hanging Bird Gym for a great way to provide uncommonly good exercise and foraging behaviors. Our wrought iron activity centers are another good way to provide your parrot some out of cage time. Whatever you choose, you can't go wrong with a parrot gym for Casa de Loro Pet Bird Stands!
