Parrots are very accurate for finding out what's inside an object. They particularly appreciate the removable buttons, pegs, and the growth of all kinds. As Cockatoo bored very quickly, you need a variety of toys for the parrots. They want to undo knots, loosen objects or open the door of their cage, especially the hook, inserting objects into the other, the screws and open. Often, work on two toy parrot at the same time. their beaks as sharp as a knife and they can really destroy an apartment in less time than it takes to utter destruction! Parrots are not like games that complicated or require time and reflection. They have a philosophy of proximity.
Cockatoo want to play them to be very clear selected. If the parrot does not have its own facility to play can destroy the apartment. Ideally, parrots must have more facilities in the house because he wanted to follow his favorite human around. Bring to a forage is a good way to prevent depression and to peck, the importance of foraging toys, such as acrylic puzzle toy to encourage the work to be handle.
To accommodate all the toys, and to spread the wings are beautiful and big like that, it is clear that a very large cage is needed.
