Entertainment

[Thongjy]

Just to check when owners are not around what can we do to help make sure the conures are able to entertain themselves and not get bored.

Saw some say on the tv and go to YouTube parrot tv. Is parrot tv suppose to be a channel?

Please suggest what you do to entertain your birds during your absence so that I can see if to try out as well. Thanks.

If I'm gone for less than a day, my birds have the cats, dog, and computer to watch. My computer screen saver comes on, and it has a lot of wiggling lights that glow and shrink or grow in size depending on the color, and the birds seem to enjoy watching that.

Redshift, my cockatiel, goes nuts for anything cockatiel-related

Thank Vampiric.
You know of any YouTube channel specially to be switched on to entertain our parrots during their alone time?

TV, music, or both at the same time with the TV sound off. Plus they can see outside. Occasionally bird videos.

Lots of toys, whole veggies and fun foods, and a big window on an active sidestreet, annnnnnd... CNN! The Rb loves talking heads, and interacts with some shows. I think he likes Anne Navarro.

Unfortunately, no, LOL. I watch a lot of ghost shows, like Paranormal Nightmare and Twin Paranormal, and the birds like to watch that too. Sometimes I watch Bird Tricks or the Parrot Station.

Cartoons. They like all the color and action. The Jimmy Buffett channel on satelite radio.

My CAG loves TV, Full Cast Audio books, audio books, action movies, cartoons, anime, B/W shows especially horror, detective or mystery. She's my sound effects for computer games. She doesn't care for music. She doesn't care for nature shows. There's lots of interactive toys for her to destroy, sorry play with. Veggies are on hand too. Pellets are on hand continuously. Those are used as TV watching snacks and eat before bedtime meal.
