Have you ever wondered how parrots spend their days in the wild? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating and essential world of parrot foraging! From the early morning search for fruit, nuts, and seeds to more complex social behaviors that go hand-in-hand with positive behavior in the household. Discover why foraging isn’t just about finding food; it’s a vital part of a parrot’s mental stimulation, problem solving, and survival. We’ll also explore how you can bring this natural behavior into your own parrot’s lifestyle at home through enrichment and interactive toys.

We’ll talk about:

• What foraging is and why parrots need it
