When a partner smashes the walnut exchange hole in their cage they will transfer their metal tokens to their companions to give them some delicious nut goodness. This behavior wasn't just random and the more donors had invested in their relationships with their partners, the more they shared. However, the scientists who conducted this study weren't able to determine the effects of this sharing out in the wild, explains Irene Pepperberg, an animal cognition expert who is studying African greys at Harvard but wasn't part of this study. She says that these birds are haphazardly grouped and could benefit from developing a reputation for generosity. Pepperberg notes that the results shouldn't be generalized across all species of parrots. Ravens, for example, don't have this same inclination toward their fellow birds, and neither do gorillas or chimpanzees. However, however, it is not clear if animals are acting out of compassion or simply because they want what their fellow animals have. Toys Parrots need toys to entertain and enrichment. The best way to make sure your pet isn't bored is to rotate toys regularly so they are new and interesting all the time. This keeps the sharp beak of a parrot from becoming dull and also gives the bird a chance think about what she's doing. This gives the parrot an opportunity to interact with her surroundings in a variety of ways.

This will allow her to feel at ease with the toy. Some of the things that are great for enrichment include shreds of paper (not printed and free from inks) sisal rope, cardboard leather or cotton strips wooden clothes pegs with no metal springs, ping-pong balls, pine cones, small branches, beads wooden rings plastic bottle caps popsicle sticks, dried fruits, hot peppers, garlic and ginger dry food tidbits and dried vegetables. These are all great for enrichment but be sure to get rid of any items that are not safe for the pet. This includes items that the pet could ingest, chew or get trapped in. Entertainment Parrots are highly intelligent and some have even been known to form emotional bonds with their owners.
