You should perform daily spot-cleaning to remove droppings and uneaten food and wipe down of food and water bowls, with a full cage clean once a week. Perches and toys may benefit from a gentle scrub in warm soapy water every 2–3 weeks, followed by a rinse with fresh water. Replace heavily chewed toys as needed to maintain hygiene and prevent bacterial build-up.

Choose a variety of chewable, foraging and puzzle toys to stimulate natural behaviours. Petbarn stocks a range of bird toys, including wood-and-rope shredders, treat-dispensing puzzles and mirror-free hanging toys. Rotate toys weekly to keep your bird engaged and prevent boredom.

You can find bird toys and bird perches at Petbarn stores nationwide or shop online. We regularly run special offers on grooming accessories, toys and wood-and-rope perches. 

Choose a bird harness with adjustable straps and quick-release buckles. Fit it snugly but comfortably around the chest and wings.

If your bird is not familiar with a harness, introduce it gradually indoors before venturing outside.
