The more intelligent a being is, the more environmental and behavioral enrichment is requisite to their well-being. Parrots have been described as having the intellectual capacity of a 3-5 year old child. With this recognition of their intellectual capacity, it's imperative that bird owners take action to meet their need for daily mental stimulation. Two ways you can address your bird's need for mental stimulation are:

• Training birds to learn new words, phrases and songs.

• Training your bird to do tricks.

Besides a parrot's need for mental stimulation, many birds are thought to benefit from environmental sound enrichment. There are some exciting new products specifically designed to entertain pet birds with sounds and even pictures of parrots in the wild.
