Gift Guide for Parrot Owners – 2022!

Parrot owners are crazy for their birds, but also can be picky about what their bird receives, some of the items big box pet stores sell are not so safe. This is a safe list of items you could gift your the parrot lover in your life! All the photos of these products are off amazon and can be found there.

• “poop off”; poop off is an amazing cleaner that is completely bird-safe made from plants that are safe on nearly all surfaces. It makes it much less time-consuming to clean up the stuck bird droppings. Less time cleaning = more time with the birds = happy bird owner.

• Scrub brushes of all kinds; toothbrushes for tight spaces, there are also other options like the Rubbermaid reveal scrub brushes, or just hand and nail scrub brushes, or dish washing scrub brushes. Any scrub brush is amazing! No one wants to scrub with a rag!!
• Nutri – berries; these are a treat created by avian veterinarians that come in a few flavours and also are great for keeping the bird busy, if you wanted to go an extra level with this gift you could also get a foraging ball toy which keeps the parrot busy even longer!

There are more flavours and different sizes depending on the size of parrot. LAFEBER’S El Paso Nutri-Berries Pet Bird Food, Made with Non-GMO and Human-Grade Ingredients, for Parrots, 10 oz : Amazon.ca: Pet Supplies

• For people with budgies Spray millet is like drugs for out birds so that is always an amazing gift!

• Pet store gift card; if you know of a pet/bird store they shop at often a gift card there is always a great option. Being able to go in and spoil your bird is always a fun thing to do!
• Bird toys; always go for bird toys that can be destroyed with no mirrors or plastic bits, avoid toys with yarn or rope that is easy to pull apart, they are usually the safest option. List below

Safe parrot toy recommendations

• Planet Pleasures All-Natural Bird and Parrot Toys, Perches & Swings – everything on this website is safe
• All Natural (featheredaddictions.com) – the all natural section of toys is 100% safe, avoid toys that have bells, mirrors, cotton rope and plastic. My budgies favourite toy from feathered addictions is the forager mushroom but some people may not like it since there are bells.
• Feathered addictions also has toy parts, I would shop in the natural shreddable area but this way your money goes further and some bird people absolutely love creating bird toys.
• Wesco bird kabobs are another favourite toy amount small parrots.
• www.mysafebirdstore.com also sells a bunch of different toys and toy parts I would stick to the natural/shreddable section
• www.bonkabirdtoys.com
• www.zoo-max.com some of these toys have cotton rope so you do need to be cautious.
