things i have

products i recommend from my own experience raising these little rascals

Yaheetech Wrought Iron Cage

A wonderful, large cage that our birds are happy to be in and is large enough for them. The cage bars are also vertical which is safer for them in case they experience night frights.

Bird Cage Blackout Cover

This item is a must-have and my only regret is not getting one sooner! We could never sleep in until I got this as the birds would start screaming to be let out as soon as day broke. We do not close the front flap and it still works as like a charm.

Foldable Pet Play Pen

I bought this (size: 88x58cm) when Plato couldn’t fly and had to be kept on low ground. After he recovered, I sometimes use this to house the birds temporarily when I clean their cage.

IKEA SÖDERGARN Memo board

I hang this on front of my storage room door and attach perches and toys on it for the birds to have a landing spot in the middle of my apartment.

Planet Pleasures Pineapple Bird Toy

My birds love this toy as it has many intricate details that encourage shredding. When they started getting bored with it, I stuff seeds into the crevices and suddenly they’re all over it again ????

Planet Pleasures Octopus Bird Toy

I slot seeds into the woven pattern on this toy and the birds enjoy picking it off, making it a fun activity for them so they don’t come after my cables ????
