Budgerigars are very active, sociable and intelligent birds. They need not only proper care and balanced nutrition, but also constant communication and entertainment. A long stay of a parrot in a cage can end with scattering of droppings, overturning feeders and even self-plucking. Therefore, it is very important to organize a playground for him outside the cage.
It is necessary
- - branches of various lengths and diameters;
- - wooden slats and bars;
- - a piece of plywood, board or wooden pallet;
- - toys, mirrors, swings, stairs;
- - drill;
- - feather drills
Instructions
Step 1
You can buy a playground for a parrot at a pet store or make it yourself from scrap materials. A homemade bird entertainment center can be a real game complex, which includes many different loopholes, perches and toys. Although even the most common branch with various branches will be an excellent playground for a parrot.
Step 2
To make a playground for a parrot yourself, first of all think about what it will be like, what materials will be needed to make it. Be sure to draw a sketch of the playground you have invented on paper.
Step 3
Now start preparing all the necessary parts that will be included in the construction of the play complex. You can purchase wooden slats and bars at a hardware store. For branches of the right length and thickness, go to the forest or park closest to your home.
Step 4
From the thickest branches of the same diameter, assemble the frame of the playground. To drill the holes, use a drill with different diameters of pen drills. Use store-bought wooden slats or tree branches as perches. The diameter of the perches should be half the diameter of the columns included in the site structure.
Step 5
Now attach the resulting structure to a board or plywood. It is better to use a shallow wooden pallet that can be covered with paper as a support for the playground. This will make cleaning up the parrot quick and easy.
Step 6
Now attach a variety of toys, safe mirrors and swings to the resulting parrot playground, install small ladders. Remember to keep the play area stable and sturdy.
Step 7
Avoid placing your parrot feeder on the playground. The bird must eat exclusively in the cage. This will make it easier to get the hungry pet into the cage.
