What’s Manzanita & Why are Manzanita Perches Good for My Bird?

A key to keeping your bird healthy is to always be challenging its feet. We do this by making sure that there are at least three types of perches in your bird cage.

With a variety of perches in the cage, your bird’s feet will always be working as he moves about the cage. In our various bird care newsletters, we have talked about different kinds of perches ranging from bird warmers to Booda soft rope perches.

Why Does My Bird Hate Bird Toys?

How the heck should I know? Birds like people have their own likes & dislikes but with birds, it can get a little more complicated. Did you know that even the time of day can affect how your bird accepts items in its cage?
