Foraging Toys

Large Parrots are not only beautiful birds, they are also very intelligent. That intelligence makes them easily susceptible to boredom and behavioral problems stemming from boredom and frustration, like feather picking. If you don't want to end up with a frustrated, bored, and bald parrot, you must keep your parrot supplied with toys to occupy and stimulate his brain.

Parrots will destroy the toys you buy for them - this destructive behavior is healthy for a parrot and does not indicate any emotional issues.
What we've found over the years is that birds have different play styles. Some will destroy things quickly; others prefer to "beat up" their toys. Others like sounds created with their toys. Try a variety of things to discover what your parrot likes.

All large parrots need toys they can chew and destroy.
