Play time for your pet bird is like going to the best party of the year! They get excited as you open the door to their cage and sweetly speak to them with an eager tone in your voice. They feel the freedom and joy that can only be found on an entertaining playstand that has lots of fun things to do! Large bird stands and Manzanita playstands are just 2 of the many kinds of play areas you can purchase for your pet bird. They need stimulation and exercise on a daily basis; and some fun isn't a bad thing either! Knowing what birds like best can help you choose the best type of play stand for your bird, so take a look at these tips and you'll know right away which one is best for your feathered friend!
Bring nature into your home's habitat. Your bird craves the outdoors and the feeling of branches in its feet. With Manzanita playstands, your bird will feel like it's escaped into the wild! The branches are curved and have lots of texture, which promoted their natural desire to walk, climb, and grasp. This is also great exercise for their entire bodies, most especially their feet and legs. Balance is also challenged on these types of playstands because they have both vertical and horizontal planes that allow your bird to climb across as well as up and down the branches. You can even find tree-like branches as tall as 4 feet to satisfy every bird!
Manzanita playstands are great by themselves, but adding challenging puzzles, toys, and accessories to your bird's cage and play area will give it something fun to do and chase away boredom. Puzzles are brightly colored and are designed to make your bird work to open, slide, or detach something; this is great fun for them! There are also treat hiders, which are great because they can figure out how to get to something they love (like a grape or seed treat from the pet store) and they feel a real sense of accomplishment when they get to it.
Look for large bird stands if you have a large parrot, cockatoo, or macaw, for example. The larger play areas give your bird the much-needed space to move around and exercise their large frames. Many times, these large bird stands come with huge rings that larger birds love as well as lots of levels for vertical climbing fun. You can also find multi-level playstands made for small and medium birds, so if you have a smaller bird, you can find a great play area for them as well!
Be sure to buy something that rolls on casters or wheels so you can move the play stand around from time to time. This is important to give your bird a change of scenery and keep them feeling like they've got somewhere new to explore. Many bird owners prefer a play area that has a tray at the bottom to catch bird droppings and food particles; look for this as well.
No matter what the size of your bird, a playstand makes for a great place for them to socialize, move around, and have fun every day. For them, it's like getting to go to "the party event of the year" every day!
