About this Product
A great way for your Parrot to shoot hoops
Enjoy some great one to one time whilst teaching your Parrot how to shoot hoops using this Birdie Basket Ball Hoop Activity Parrot Toy.
A fun and engaging way to use play to easily promote your Parrot to exercise, both physically and mentally.
It may take time to ultimately train you Parrot to slam dunk their way to success. The best results are gained by keeping training session shorter, and via positive reinforcement.
Every time your Parrot takes a positive step, for example touching the ball, make sure you reward them with praise or with a small piece of their favourite food.
Over time you should be able to train your Parrot to fetch the ball, pick it up, take it towards the hoop, then place the ball through the hoop.
For an even bigger challenge teach your Parrot to fly over to retrieve the ball from you and then fly over to the net and drop the ball inside.

Toy Safety
Every Parrot is different and toys should be chosen with care to match your bird`s personality, as well as how strong and destructive they are. Many toys are made to be chewed and destroyed – that`s part of the fun – so if the toy doesn’t last as long as you expected this is probably because it wasn’t suitable in the first place.
The only toy that is 100% safe is the one that your bird never plays with. We strongly recommend close supervision, especially when introducing new or unfamiliar toys to your bird.
It is important to check toys regularly, you may need to repair or replace any which have become unsafe. Please pay particular attention to rope toys, any loose threads should be trimmed straightaway.
Please remove all packaging from toys and accessories before giving to your bird, this may include silica gel sachets which are non-toxic and help ensure your order reaches you in perfect condition.
