Birds are really quite happy to play on their own, more so than any other pet, which is why on the whole bird toys are interactive. You will also find that a number of household belongings and toys meant for other pets can easily be given to your bird to keep them entertained.

The Sing-a-long Juke Box

A lot of bird owners like to try and get their bird to start talking and some people are successful and some aren't! The Sing-a-long juke box is a great musical toy that your bird can work on their own, as they explore their new toy they will learn that they can do it themselves, which will lead to them listening properly to the music and responding to it by whistling, this will then help them remember the songs. When you start to get enough of the 4 songs on the Juke box you can buy new versions with different songs, and build up your bird's music collection!

Babble balls

These are an interactive ball that your bird will love to talk or whistle back to, you can be sure that your bird will be interacting with this toy all day long. You can get ones for birds, but if you can only fond ones for cats or dogs, these will still do the job of entertaining your bird.

Boings and Swings

Swings and boings are something you should really look at having in your bird's cage as they love having something to swing and sit on. You can get them in all different designs, shapes and colours and they are available in a number of sizes so that you can get the right one for your bird. You can get them made out of rope, plastic and steel and you are able to get them with objects on them which your bird can play with whilst they enjoy swinging away. They come in a number of forms, like round loops, a hanging swirl and your traditional idea of a swing, with a little seat.

Chains, beads, bells and anything that makes a noise

Birds love nothing more than to make a good bit of noise so you will find in lots of pet shops you are able to get chains or various different shaped objects with bells hanging off them. Birds also have a fascination with coloured objects so colourful breads on chains or strings are a great object to have in their cages, not only will the like looking at them, but they will enjoy moving them about too.
