DOS AND DON'TS

Although we take every necessary precaution to ensure the bird toys and accessories that we procure are safe, there is no toy that’s 100% safe!

SA Bird Company Guidelines

It helps to take care of few things to keep your bird protected from any mishaps.

• Supervise your birds when they are playing with their toys
• Introduce new toys with caution and give your birds time to get acquainted with them
• Trim back any frayed ropes that you may notice on the toys
• Inspect the toys regularly and discard toys that show any signs of wear and tear
• Ensure your bird is only chewing and not ingesting the toy (yes they can do that too!)
• When you go on a toy buying spree, take care to choose toys suitable for your bird’s size
• Tighten all pear/quick links securely. Use pliers if necessary. Birds have a tendency to loosen these links while playing with the toys.
• Mix it up. Give your bird a variety of toys to play with. Keep at least two sets of toys and rotate them regularly to keep your bird entertained and stimulated. This goes a long way in preventing boredom and feather-picking behaviour in your bird.
