Flip Flap Hide A Treat Foraging Toy

This Flap Flap Hide A Treat Foraging Toy is perfect if a Parrot is new to the concept of foraging.

This starter foraging toy has two compartments for your customer to place some favourite food or treats in. The fun for the Parrot is in the retrieving of the rewards.

We suggest letting a Parrot watch you lift the lids and place a reward inside one or both of the wells. Leave the lids up and let a Parrot explore at their own pace.

Have some tiny pieces of treats handy, to reward them if the go near their Flap Flap Hide A Treat Foraging Toy, and again if they touch it. Once they’re used to the idea of retrieving the treats from the wells, then you can progress to placing rewards inside and closing the lids.

Again, have tiny pieces of treats handy as mini rewards for any positive actions a Parrot makes. Positive re-enforcement training techniques are widely accepted to provide the best results, and should always be done at a Parrot’s own pace.

You’ll be surprised how quickly a Parrot will pick this up, foraging is a natural behaviour, and one they’d spend many hours of their day on in the wild. Providing opportunities for a Parrot to forage provide them with essential mental stimulation that can really help keep birdie boredom at bay.
