bird videos

[gizzygirl]

We just adopted a goffin too who had started plucking/chewing her feathers. I would like to find some bird videos to play as another distraction and just because our birds enjoy them but we forgot what it was called. Can you please list some good ones? Thank you!

I would first recommend to make sure she's healthy. Blood work, etc.

Second, great diet!

Third, foraging! You can encourage her to forage by not giving her a large dish of food, but rather placing food throughout the cage for her to go 'find'. Make her work for her food.


Here's one site that recommends pine cones for refeathering.

Feather Plucking, Feather Plucking Remedies, Feather Destructive Behavior, Pine Cones, Exotic Bird Food, Pinecones, Bird Toys, Feather Picking Solutions and Refeathering

Also you could try bunched up newspaper and cardboard [Ive never seen my Goffin play so much!]

I am doing all of that but thought the videos would also help especially when we have to leave. We always play music and the video a few times and the birds loved it! It was something like the bird babysitter?

I have the Bird Sitter DVD. I hear that Pollyvision is better! Maybe even the Australian DVD collection?
