A high quality pellet choice for your bird. Many store brands have additives and sugars that are not ideal. This one provides well rounded nutrition as a staple diet.

A great enrichment treat for cockatiels on top of their staple pellets. Drift goes wild for it. He hates hands but he will come for millet!

Cages - go big for a happy bird!

Big flight cages are always preferable in my house. In our case, our bird is somewhat cage-bound and it takes a long time for him to come out. We solved this by having a big flight cage in one room made out of a critter nation double, and a smaller c...

A great cage with super sturdy full front access double doors. Great for small animals such as rats, or modify for your bird. Super sturdy and modular so you can keep adding more units to make double wide or even triple wide flight cages. Hard for de...

Your bird should spend a lot of time outside the cage. This cage features a door and removable outside perch that allows your bird to easily explore outside the cage without the need to use the front door. A good beginner cage for a cockatiel that en...

We don't have this particular cage but one of our friends does for her budgies. Decent size, I still prefer the big rectangles but this is a good space saver!

Toys and perches

Enrichment is important to keep your bird happy and mentally engaged. We really enjoy forage toys and avoid mirrors and tiny bells that have a lot of parts that can be removed because Drift really enjoys being a menace. Perches are important too. If...

Toy such as forage grass mats are usually a hit here. Drift spends hours pulling out the crinkly paper and I spend probably the same time stuffing it back in. Bell clappers and metal hooks with springs that he can get stuck in are not good for this g...

For some reason the basic popsicle stick is a winner here. Drift loves to slowly remove them from the toy, as well as grab on with one foot and hang between his perch and the toy with one foot on each side. It is a staple in this house!

Funny enough, these make a durable bird toy. Take them apart and hang them on a locking link from any other bird safe toys you have, and they'll have a grand time clacking them and swinging them.

Mr. Screamy McDinglebird, as I am calling him today, loves to shred these things, and the toys with finger traps and raffia on them. Today is going to be a very loud day. Likely prompted by the nice weather we have been having the past few days!
Planet Pleasures Octopus Pinata Bird Toy - Durable, Interactive Chewy Product Page
 
Mel's Marbles profile picture
A similarly enjoyed shredding foraging toy- simlar to the octopus one for Canadian shoppers in terms of shredding paper. I do find however that one should always make sure the wire skewers holding these type of toys are properly bent closed at the ...

Our supreme overlord has recently discovered he loves shredding these. A better alternative to the coloured woods or plastic toys. The texture must be fun to crunch. We are slowly moving him toward more natural items, he has an extreme attachment to ...
