Pet Health and Wellness Tips

Treats that Stimulate

A great way to challenge your bird and sharpen his intellect - while offering a nutritious snack - is to get a treat toy for your bird's cage. Even birds that do not seem interested in toys alone can't resist cracking open a nut or trying to get at some juicy fruit on a skewer.  Our treat toys are sometimes referred to as “eat and replace” toys.

Think of each of these treats as three toys wrapped up into one.  Each one contains treats, minerals, and a hard wood core.  As each “layer” is consumed, there is another piece for the bird to chew.

These treats are set in Manu - an exact copy of minerals found in the banks of the Manu River in Peru, South America.  Manu provides calcium and a variety of minerals – which help filter toxins from the bird’s system and fill in nutrition gaps.  Think of it as a “one a day” for your bird. Eventually the treats and Manu are consumed to reveal a natural Cholla Cactus Wood core.  Cholla, the skeleton of the Cholla Cactus, is a natural soft wood that makes a terrific soft chew for all birds.

Millet Log

Seeds for most birds are like candy for children. One particular seed, millet (a type of grass), is lower in fat and in fact, one of the most nutritious grains you can give to your bird. Millet contains high levels of proteins (with one of the highest amino acid profiles of all the cereal grains) , carbohydrates, B-complex vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in addition to a host of other important nutrients.  Because of the high concentration of B-vitamins, it is also a natural stress-reliever for your bird.

Nutty Log

Keep your bird entertained and occupied by giving him a treat he has to earn!  Learning how to crack open peanut shells provides excellent mental stimulation for larger birds.  Once opened,  the peanut meat provides essential fatty acids for healthy skin and feathers.
