Brainy Birds Training Parrots

Toys to build a parrot’s intellect, stimulate a parrot’s imagination, and help teach a parrot to talk

Toys are important to keep your parrot active and happy. It has been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that parrots and animals are much more intelligent than humans have ever given them credit. When a bird is not happy, they can develop unacceptable behavior such as constant squawking. Unhappy and unhealthy birds will also resort to feather plucking, often due to boredom.

To allow your bird’s intelligence to fully develop they need to use deduction and observation. This is a great toy to incorporate learning and playing. They need a wide diversity of activities to keep them motivated. They need a wide variety of toys to play with, so rotate the toys frequently. Most important, they need frequent interaction with their owners.

Abacus Bird Toy - Large - Level 2 is the ideal toy, in fact this toy couldn’t be more perfect to captivate your parrot and to keep its intellect stimulated and growing.

Name Your Link






We all know as adults, and we know this of our children as well, we have different toys to do different things. If our kids had nothing but educational toys they would soon go crazy just as a parrot would. They need something to help with over anxiousness. These types of toys are some of the best for stress reduction. My birds will spend hours fiddling with the blocks, pulling at the strings, and working at the knots.

There should be no reason why your bird should have behavioral problems as long as they have enough socialization, time outside of their cage, toys to engage their intellect and toys that reduce stress. One other important factor in modifying birds with inappropriate behavior is that their humans need to keep their stress problems away from them. They can pick up on your emotions very easily and it distresses them a great deal. No angry drama around parrots.

Brainy Bird Wild Series Toy Madcap






Working with, instead of against your birds natural instincts will go a long way to having a happy parrot. Birds spend a great deal of time working at seeds and nuts, trying to figure out the ultimate puzzle on obtaining their great prize.

This toy is zinc-free and made of super strong polycarbonate; all in all it is a very sturdy design and construction. They have to go through quite of bit of thinking, trial, and error to get at the treat placed in this toy.


Nature's Instinct Foragewise Rings of Fortune for Conures, Amazons, Macaws, and Similar Birds






One of many places my birds love to accompany me is to the shower. This, forgive the pun, kills two birds with one stone, socialization, spending time with me, and getting their fun and shower in all at the same time.

It doesn’t take long to find out the disadvantages to taking a bird in the shower with you. You get scratched on the bare skin and if your significant other joins in the fun, the bird may mistake something else as a perch. The solution is shower perches.

Be sure the water temperature is stable before allowing the birds to enter the shower. Make sure everyone in the household is told not to turn on other water supplies, facets, and toilets. Tie a ribbon to every fixture in the house if you have to for reminders, we don’t want our babies to get scalded.

I can think of one more of the thing to help your parrot’s intellect develop. Spend a lot of time talking to them. Also, parrots love music and sound. Play music, music CD’s and movie videos for the parrots to listen to and watch. There will be times when your parrot is alone, it will help them pass the time until you, and your family arrives home.


Music Birds Love: While You Are Gone








Please stay away from loud, vibrating music; it is unhealthy for the bird. It is unhealthy for you and your children. Few things make me madder is hearing loud music in a car full of children. What gives them the right to destroy their children’s hearing for life?
