Tips to encourage foraging Tips to encourage foraging

Foraging, the collective activity during
which your bird searches for and locates food, is
Dehydrated Fruits & Veggiesan essential part of natural bird behavior. It may look like play, but it's actually an instinctive behavior that allows birds to find often-elusive food. The foraging instinct brings your bird the ultimate reward of nourishment while keeping him physically and mentally agile.

Foraging also offers a constructive release for pent-up energy. Foraging activities and toys help prevent damage to your property and self-destructive behavior like feather-picking.

Disguise the dish, cover the crock
While your bird watches, hide his food supply with a clean paper towel or coffee filter. He'll delight in shredding the paper cover and uncovering a fulfilling meal.

Nature's Benefits™ Treat JarsPlay treat hide-and-seek
Add a sampling of something new to your bird's usual cuisine or fillable toys. He'll gleefully hunt for exciting new delicacies. Just Fruits and Just Veggies, Nature's Benefit Treat Jars, and Millet Snips entertain with new flavors and textures.

Offer foraging toys
Brain-boosting toys make foraging FUN! The Turn 'N Learn Log offers three spots for hiding treats. The almond-filled Nut Maze provides irresistible rewards. And perennial-favorite filled toys, such as Treat Piñatas, the Smiley Face toy, and the Stuffed Coco Palm Craze offer hours of foraging fun.
