It blows my mind to see birds doing these tricks! I can't imagine any of my birds doing this. I hate to say it but I dont think my birds are that smart.
I think it depends on the species. What kind of birbs do you have?
Umm. Budgies right now. I had a cockatiel years ago. He was charming and a great whistler and said Charlie Boy. Never tried to train him. I had a Goffin's cockatoo years ago and from what I've read they are quite brilliant. Up there with smartest nonhuman animals. But budgies- I don't think so. I love them but I don't think they're capable. Even my hand raised girl Rocky just does what she wants. But I've watched the british budgie circus act (have you watched it on utube?) and that trainer did amazing things with budgies.
I did see that! Very fun to watch and itās a great example of what dedicated training can do. Intelligence does vary between species, but I read a while back that it was actually a budgie that broke the world record for the number of words memorized by any bird, across species. His name was Puck.
Iām the same way with finishes and whatnot. I usually stick to plastic as itās usually not painted. The enamel tends to be pretty solid or itās just colored all the way through so Iām not nervous about it. I have some big, loose plastic beads from my local bird shop that Rainy loves to take out of a jar and play with, or drop them into it. I want to expand on that concept with toys like this one. Dollhouse items sound worth looking into!
So sad!!!I see little ātoysā like this a lot too. I think in a lot of cases they are not bird toys but little doll toys or miniature collectibles. I havenāt seen this one
