INTERACTIVE GAMES YOU CAN PLAY WITH YOUR BIRD
Remember that laughter is important for a happy bird to hear so laugh a lot when you play
these games with your bird for maximum results:
1.Toss, Fetch and Catch - which are variations of games where you use a
soft, lightweight object such as a foosball or soft stuffed toy and either you or the bird
tosses it and you or the bird catches it.
2.Place birdy items in a drawer the bird can get into. Like your clean sock drawer. Hide
surprises in there like walnuts and new foot toys and let the birdy find them.
3.Singing games, like Itsy Bitsy Spider, BINGO, When you're Up, etc.
4.Flying through the air games with the bird on your hand and you steady the bird and take
it through the house.
5.Pick up - the bird tosses something off and you either laugh or say Uh Oh and pick up
the item over and over and over
6."I can do that too" game. The bird does something like stretch and you imitate
them and then you do something like raise your arm and see if they will learn to imitate
you.
7.Blink. You blink, they blink.
8.Peek a boo. Use a towel, a blanket or a cat tunnel.
9.Read them children's books for entertainment, like pop-up books and musical books, and
also try to teach them colors, shapes and parts of their body.
10.Teach them to lay on their back in your lap. Then you can tickle their tummies and give
them little toys to fight with upside down.
11."Horsy is gonna get you" Tap your nails on the surface and walk your fingers
to the bird saying the above and tickle their tummy.
12.Get on the floor with your bird and play with them. Take toys and even a box of soda
straws and let them dump them and play with them while you play too. Just about every
activity you do with them on the floor,even watching television together down there, is
interactive and special to the bird.
13.Play Bat Bird, lay on your back and hold our bird in the air singing bat man. One
little greencheek now yells Bat Bat Bat as he plays.
14.Foot play, a wonderful game you can do together. The bird offers its foot and you shake
and set it back and try to teach the bird different things to do with the foot like wave
and kiss the footie
