Rotating Toys for their pleasure

[Kai]

Hi,

I've often seen the advice to rotate toys in the cages of our birds in order to keep them from getting bored. I'm not sure what this means, is it as simple as what the phrase suggests to literally move toys around in the cage? Place them in different spots?

I have enough toys, so I can remove them once a month and replace with different ones...then the next month, I put back the first set. It helps with birdie boredom, as he thinks he's getting new toys! LOL!

It means having extra toys on hand out of their cage and switching the toys

I switch toys out every few weeks so that Bella isn't bored with what I have in there. She likes to chew on different things so adding new textures is fun for her!

Yipe you are quite correct, just move them around now and again.
I rotate Mishka's toys every 3 weeks, and he loves it.
Take care

I do both lol.

I switch toys around inside the cage and once a fortnight I swap toys from her play den into her day cage lol.

Cal loves swapping so much that I have about 15 new toys coming for her (I know, I'm mental, but it was a wonderful deal!!) so she will be ECSTATIC!

Great, Thank YOU!!!!!!!

Happy HOlidays

I wish my birdies would not destroy a toy so fast that I could actually rotate toys around. However, all 3 of them shred their toys in about a week - sometimes as long as 2 weeks. But Max, or Destructo Bird, can reduce a $50 wooden toy to matchsticks in about 36 hrs.

My budget has decreed that I make toys for them.
