Bird supplies
include food and feeding accessories, bird toys, perches and ladders and bird seed guards for cages, bird playpens and stands, grooming supplies and bird baths.
Fresh, high-quality bird food is one of the most important bird supplies. The type of food or bird seed you purchase depends on the kind of pet bird you own. It's important to learn all you can about your pet bird to ensure it's getting all of the nutrients needed in its diet. There are also some fresh foods you should not feed your bird, so please research or consult your avian veterinarian about your pet bird's diet. Bird feeding supplies include cups, feeders, water bottles and treat holders. Bird dishes should clip securely to your bird's cage and it's recommended that you use different cups for water, juice, pellets, and perishable food. Bird cups and dishes can be used for seeds, but you might want to purchase a special bird seed feeder for your bird's favorite seed or pellet mix. Bird feeders also help eliminate the mess from birds digging in their food dish. Bird seed guards are another good way to help keep things clean outside your bird's cage. Birds love playing with their food, so bird seed can become a big mess otherwise.
Bird toys include ropes, swings, ladders and chew toys. Look for chew toys made of natural woods and materials that birds naturally love to chew on, such as Manzanita. Parrots, Cockatoos and Cockatiels all love to climb, so bird ladders will add significantly to your pet bird's health. Perches are another important cage accessory for your pet bird. Natural wood perches give your bird a place to rest and exercise, something to chew on and provide exercise for your bird's feet, as well. Special conditioning perches also help keep your bird's claws trimmed. Playpens and play stands sit outside your bird's cage and provide a cage-free environment for your bird to play. You can attach their favorite toys and treats to the stand.
Birds love to bathe – some in a dish, others prefer a shower and still others like to be sprayed with a bottle. You should change water in a bird bath often and experiment to see which type of bath your bird prefers. Bird shower perches are available, as well as bird baths. Bird brushes. bird bath conditioners and other bird grooming supplies are available to help keep your pet bird clean and healthy.
