  BONGO BIRD TOYS

Welcome!

BONGO BIRD TOYS is dedicated to searching out safe toys that your birds will love.  

 

We are proud to carry Oliver's Garden Toys.  These handcrafted toys are made in Canada by Susan Tuck of Nova Scotia.  The inspiration for her toys is influenced by the nearby fishing and lumber industries.  The toys are introduced first to Susan's own flock of toy testers.  Her flock includes Oliver, her Congo African Grey, Sassy, her Red-sided Eclectus, Fagan the Quaker and a small group of lovebirds.  The toys need to pass the test for safety, fun and durability in order to be passed on to you.   

Oliver's Garden uses only the safest parts available including:

-100% cotton rope which is hand dyed with FDA approved dyes

- Stainless steel rods

-Nickel plated hardware which can be changed to all stainless steel  (email for info)

-Natural woods are harvested on site or from trusted sources. These woods including willow, dogwood, magnolia, apple, and birch are seasoned, cleaned and finally baked.

All the toys that are sold are kept in a bird free environment.  

Play Time

Your bird relies on you to set aside time daily for you and your bird to play.   This is a good time to take your bird out of it's cage and bring some interesting toys with you.  Use toys that are new for your bird, or ones that are only for the time you spend together.  Educational toys are also a good idea for this time together.  

Many people use this time to train their birds tricks.  Many birds enjoy clicker training.  

Your bird also needs a good variety of safe toys inside it's cage.  The toys should be checked regularly to make sure they are still safe.  Birds can break off pieces making the toys unsafe.  If that happens the broken toy should be removed.  

It's a good idea to have a large variety of toys to  rotate.  Birds are intelligent and do get bored with the same toys.  

You should always supervise your birds with new toys to be sure it is safe for your bird.  

Foraging toys are very important for your bird.  In the wild birds spend most of their day foraging.  Foraging toys also offer a diversion for feather pluckers.  A foraging tree is a excellent activity for your bird.  

Avoid toys where your bird could get a beak, band or toe caught, such as a key ring or certain links. 

Toys should be checked on a regular basis for wear and tear.  Look for loose threads and clip them.  Replace toys that are worn out.

Teach Your Parrot Series (1): Fantastic Performing Parrots (DVD) by Tani Robar - A must-see for parrot lovers, this is one of the most amazing bird trick DVDs ever produced! For the first time you can see the secrets of professional bird show tricks. Many of these are original, never before seen tricks with Tani and her birds and all are tricks you can teach your own bird. DVD 1 features five performing parrots. This DVD presents a lively and entertaining display of bird tricks, many of which are original. Adding to the entertainment are the distinct personalities of each parrot. Poopsie, a green-cheeked conure, is the smallest and also the oldest of the five. She does the most complicated tricks. Squawk, a blue-crowned conure, actually holds a conversation with Tani, and is probably the most talented of the group. Cassie is a black-headed caique. She is the clown of the show. DVD I also introduces Kiri, an African grey and Prince, a crimson-winged parakeet.
