Parrot Enrichment

[iaos]

Hi Folks,

I have a couple of indoor female budgies.

I was just after a few simple ideas to provide them with some enrichment.

I look forward to your responses and ideas.

Cheers

Native branches with leaves, nuts, flowers; various grasses are as good as anything for budgies.
Balls with bells in them and hanging mirrors & bells are also enjoyed by budgies.

Mixing their favourite seeds/treats in a shallow tray of coarse sand/fine gravel will keep them occupied for hours too.

Thanks Myzo.

I really need to make more of an effort with them.

Cheers Ian

No worries Ian. Just some suggestions. They are pretty undemanding, but we all take them for granted at times.

A couple of male budgies perhaps?

[Myzomela]

What, are you implying that a couple of spinsters can't have fun on their own?
Maybe they have no interest in the guys Sam!

@ Sam - the newer of the two was supposed to be a male.
