Birds are the most delicate and beautiful animal, characterized by feathers, a beak with no teeth, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a lightweight but strong skeleton. In birds the forelimbs are modified as wings and most can fly, except ratites, penguins, and a number of diverse endemic island species. Whether you have a parrot or any other bird, you can discover your bird’s natural skills and highlight them in play. Observe your bird carefully and think about what games might go with its skill set. Playing will help you learn even more of its skills. Chat and laugh with your pet birds. They love the sound of their owner’s voices, and especially love laughter. If your pet is parrots then, parrots will add their own voices to playtime as well. When your bird is alone provide toys to your bird. A bird play gym or stand and a variety of toys for solitary play will ensure that the bird can be as playful even when you aren’t able to play. Birds also have unique digestive and respiratory systems that are highly adapted for flight. Some birds, especially corvids and parrots, are among the most intelligent animal species. Play a game of chase with your birds. Exercise out of a cage is important for the well-being of any bird, and smaller birds especially enjoy flying about the house. Make this flight time into a game by encouraging your bird to chase you. Then, try chasing him. Interact with your bird, petting it lightly. Spend quiet playtime together. As long as they are hand tamed, smaller birds enjoy spending time on their person’s lap or on a shoulder.
