Foraging for birds
Foraging – or searching for food – is a natural behavior that every bird wants to perform daily. In nature, birds spend a large part of their day looking for seeds, insects, or fruit. By stimulating this behavior at home or in the aviary, you help prevent boredom and promote the well-being of your bird.
With special foraging toys, hiding places and smart feeding systems, you give your bird challenge, fun and a natural activity.
Why foraging is important
Foraging keeps birds mentally sharp and physically active. It prevents boredom, stereotyped behavior (such as feather plucking), and promotes natural problem-solving. Mental stimulation is especially essential for parrots, parakeets, and other intelligent species.
