Treats for pets is a concept that has been around for a very long time and while many people don’t use them still, there are many people that have grown used to the idea of having treats for their pets. It is just good ownership to have some way to give positive reinforcement to your pet and the best way to do that of course is to come up with the idea that the treats are going to be the mechanism through which positive reinforcement is given. It is a great way to do things and also there is the added bonus that when you watch your bird gulping down a treat and really enjoying it, you yourself might get an immense sense of pleasure at seeing how happy your pet is. A&R Supplies offers a lot of different bird treats and some of them are discussed below.
Millet
Millet is an interesting type of treat, because it is not really a treat in the typical sense of the term treat. When people think of treats, they generally think of things like crackers and biscuits and while these are generally interesting to birds and other pets, there are ways to come up with healthy treats that birds absolutely adore. The sunburst millet is one of these treats and each spray is 100% natural without any fillers or additives to decrease the health value of the millet. It is also low in fat and extremely easy for your birds to digest. You can purchase six sprays of this excellent treat for just $5.99 from A&R Supplies.
Flaxseed
There are a number of different compounds in the world today that are considered helpful and one of those compounds is Omega-3. These are fatty acids that exist in all living things and the interesting thing about that is that Omega-3 fatty acids are thought by many scientists to be vital in the maintenance of things like healthy heart organs, non-painful joint movements, skin luster and brain function. These are all important things and they matter for your bird as much as they do for you. Flaxseed has one of the highest concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids amongst common foods and birds love it; there is no downside! One package of flaxseed also is only $7.00.
Bird Cone
Of course, if you are truly interested in the all around treat that does everything for your bird, then you might want to consider taking a look at the bird cone. The major downside to the bird cone is that it is more expense than the other two, but at $10.99 you can see that this really isn’t a major downside at all. And let’s take a look at what you get for your $10.99.
You get a cone that has a number of different seeds, nuts and fruits stashed into its different folds. What does that do? Well, first of all, it gives the bird the chance to pick from between the folds with their beak; something that birds love doing. The pinecone is also natural, so it allows the bird to identify with something natural; that in turn makes it an even more desirable experience. Finally, you can hang it from the top of your cage so that the bird has something else to perch on once the pine cone has been picked dry. This excellent treat pampers your bird in so many different ways that it is more cost effective to purchase, even with the increase in price.
