Trixie Natural Living Swing On Rope Bird Toy

About Trixie Natural Living Swing On Rope Bird Toy

A triangular swinging rope with wooden perches, the Trixie Swing On Rope Toy is perfect for birds who enjoy nibbling and gnawing their toys while exploring their enclosures.

The naturally shaped perches are gentle on the feet, helping to maintain ideal nail length and healthy toes.

Birds need to chew in order to keep their beaks in shape and providing a selection of chewable wooden toys is essential to encourage regular gnawing. Birds have an excellent ability to see colours so will benefit from colourful foraging toys and enjoy the stimulation provided by different shades. A selection of species appropriate toys should always be available within your bird's enclosure and the available toys should be rotated regularly to maintain interest and provide sufficient mental stimulation. Bored birds can become physically destructive including displaying aggression to their owners and exhibiting self-harming behaviours such as feather plucking, and are more prone to behaving badly and developing repetitive behaviours such as head swinging. Suitable toys will help to avoid the issues commonly associated with troubled feathered family members.
