Budgerigars are accustomed to being kept in a cage. A daily and safe free flight in your own four walls provides variety and strengthens the feathers. But they shouldn’t be bored in their cage either, as birds need to be entertained and active. It keeps them physically and mentally fit. With the right budgerigar toy, you can create the basis for a beautiful and species-appropriate life for your budgerigar and at the same time ensure the birds’ well-being.

Without a doubt, the most important thing for your budgerigar is at least one companion, because the sociable animals should not be kept alone. They are naturally curious, intelligent and inquisitive birds, who like to look at their surroundings closely, try a lot of things and are particularly active. Budgerigar toys should meet these criteria specifically by keeping the animal active, making it curious and challenging. There must also be regular variety, as boredom can lead to undesirable behavioural abnormalities such as continuous feather plucking.

Budgerigar toys are divided into five categories. This includes opportunities for snacking such as energy balls for beak care, swinging and climbing toys, toys to promote the bird’s agility and intelligence toys to keep them mentally fit. Wooden ladders, suspension bridges, trapezoidal swings, climbing spirals and entire bird playgrounds provide opportunities to linger, explore and try. Make sure, however, that you do not crowd the cage with budgerigar toys. Your birds should always have sufficient space and freedom of movement, as they desperately need space.

Budgerigars like to explore their surroundings, including with their beaks. Natural materials such as wood, cork, cotton and sisal are therefore preferable, because females in particular snack on everything. But budgerigar toys made of hard plastic are suitable for the cage design, too. Budgerigars particularly love colourful toys. But here too, pay attention to non-toxic materials and colours.
