"Experience the happiness of owning an exotic pet bird!"
“A bird sitting in a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking because its trust is not on the branch but on its own wings. Always believe in yourself.”
– Charlie Wardle
Below is some basic but essential bird information that you will need to know regarding
interactive play with your bird.
The following is a list with descriptions of some interactive games you can play with your bird.
Toss, Fetch and Catch - which are variations of games which use a soft, lightweight object such as a Koosh ball or soft stuffed toy. Either you or the bird tosses it and the other one catches it. Many birds love the ball even if they never learn to toss. When you toss the ball back to the bird, do it gently and have it land a few inches to the side of the bird. Place birdy items in a drawer the bird can get into. Like your clean sock drawer. Hide surprises in the drawer like walnuts and new foot toys and let the birdy find them. A box may be substituted.
Singing games, like Itsy Bitsy Spider, BINGO, When you?re Up, etc. You want to raise the bird high in some song parts or swing them in other song parts; whatever the bird likes best to make the game fun. Play Bat Bird, lay on your back and hold your bird in the air singing batman.
Flying through the air games with the bird on your hand. You steady the bird and take it through the house and play airplane or roller coaster. Just go easy so you don't make the bird ill.

Pick up - the bird tosses something off and you either laugh or say, "Uh Oh" and pick up the item over and over and over. I can do that too game.
The bird does something like stretch and you imitate him and then you do something like raise your arm and see if he will learn to imitate you.
Blink. You blink, they blink.

Peek-a-boo , Horsey & Lie on your back
Peek-a-boo. Use a towel, a blanket, or a cat tunnel. Gently cover the bird and lift the corner to show the bird's head, sayingPeek-a-boo.
Read them children's books for entertainment, like pop-up books and musical books, and also try to teach them colors, shapes and parts of their body.
Teach them to lie on their backs in your lap. Then, you can tickle their tummies and give them little toys to fight with upside down.
Horsey is going to get you. Tap your nails on the surface, walk your fingers toward the bird, say the above, and tickle their tummy or chest.
Get on the floor or on your bed with your bird and play with them. Take toys and even a box of soda straws and let them dump them and play with them while you play, too. Just about every activity you do with them on the floor, even watching television together down there, is interactive and special to the bird.
Foot Play & Make a Mess
Footplay is a wonderful game you can play together. The bird offers its foot, and you shake and set it back and try to teach the bird different things to do with the foot, like wave and kiss the footie.
Take your parrot outside in your arms on a harness and leash. While outside, play word games with your parrot. Parrots are attentive outside.
Make a Mess Games. Some parrots love to shred and tear paper. Get some tissue paper for both of you. Rip yours and play with your bird. The bigger the mess, the more fun the parrot is having.
Watch for opportunities to make a game from the things you do together.
Spending time with your parrot can be both entertaining and intellectually stimulating for both of you. Engaging in interactive play can help strengthen your bond with your pet. It may even have the added benefit of lowering your blood pressure and improving your outlook. So, have fun with your parrot, and don't forget to praise them."
