This week we would like to spotlight one of our favorite products for birds, the California Roll. Unlike its sushi friend this one is far from fishy! This item was designed to be a fantastic toy for pet birds. We have found that it is one of the best foraging toys for birds with little effort for the lazy human! Simply by inserting dry treat items into the perfectly sized opening in the mat you can create hours of foraging opportunities for your feathered friend. While we may not like to work for our food it has been proven in scientific studies that birds do. The study showed that when offered an open dish of food that the birds in the study preferred to feed from stations where they had to forage. . . Foraging can help with behavioral issues such as screaming when you leave the room, feather picking and self mutilation among many other things. Over weight birds and birds that typically don’t play with toys can benefit from working for food as well. Give it a try and share photos of your birds using the California Roll with us! .
