PEEKABIRDY

To play, drape a piece of fabric over a perch, making a "tent." Next, place your bird on a space below the perch where he can be concealed by the tent. Next, pretend to look all over the place for your bird, and finally come to the tent, go to the side that his back his facing, lift up a little bit of the tent and say, "PEEKABIRDY!"

EXPLORING

To play, simply clear an area, such as a room or a hallway, of all dangerous items. Next, put your bird down on the floor and get on the floor too, so that you are at the same level as your bird and it won't think that you are punishing it. Then, wait for your bird to walk somewhere, and follow it. If your bird doesn't know what to do, try leading him and then follow him. Once your bird comes to an enticing object, remove it. Then, give it to it later. my bird doesn't look for objects when we go exploring, he just likes to find his way around the house.

BIRDWATCHING

This isn't really a game, but it is still fun for your bird. All you have to do is go to a window and look out it at whatever it out there. Your bird will most likely be fascinated by any movement. Mango and my mom watch the crows eat the crackers we leave outside for them. Mango gets so scared, he huffs and puffs. But we take him away from the window when he does that. However, he loves to watch the cars go by.
