The 8 best gifts for your bird this Christmas

By

There’s no reason your feathered friend shouldn’t be included in this year’s Christmas celebration, but it can be difficult to know just how to involve her. The good news is, even a simple holiday gift will make a big difference for your bird, whose entire world exists within the space you provide. If that’s not reason enough to make her world as stimulating and healthy as possible, we don’t know what is — and Christmas is the perfect time to get started! Show your bird how special she is this winter by giving her the festive, celebratory holiday she deserves. Here are eight of the best gifts for your bird this Christmas.

Bonka Bellpull Bird Toy

Now your companion can help you ring in the holiday season with this festive bell toy. Bonka’s Bellpull Bird Toy will keep your bird entertained with fun jingling sounds and bright colors, while you enjoy the sound of Christmas bells. This takes “jingle all the way” to a whole new level.

Prevue Pet Products Small Parrot Playstand

For slightly larger birds, a play stand would be an extra-fun way to spend time with you this holiday season. Prevue Pet Products makes one that includes three ladders, a perch, and a swing, for hours of exploration and fun. There are eight hoops to hang toys on and two snack cups, so your bird will have everything she needs. Wheels on the bottom make this stand portable, so your pet can spend Christmas with you, no matter where you go.

FeatherSmart Large Parrot Bird Car Seat & Cup

If you’re traveling by car this holiday season, FeatherSmart has you covered. Their Large Parrot Bird Car Seat & Cup is a perch-and-cup combo that lets your bird go wherever you do — simply slip it over the top of a car seat and you’re set. It works on any chair, so your buddy will always be able to chill with you.

Prevue Pet Products Good Night Cage Cover

You can make sure your bird is fast asleep on Christmas Eve like all the other good boys and girls by giving her a Good Night Cage Cover by Prevue Pet Products. Using a cage cover during sleeping hours helps protect your bird from any unwanted light and noise, ensuring a good night’s sleep for you both. Now you know you’ll wake up Christmas morning feeling refreshed and ready for a magical day.

Lixit Splash Giant Bird Bath

Another way to give your bird the privacy she deserves is by giving her a designated place to bathe. A birdcage bath such as the Lixit Splash Giant Bird Bath is an enclosed plastic bath that attaches to the inside or outside of the cage you already have; just add water and let your friend explore. Even birds need some self-care during the holidays.

Kaytee Natural Spray Millet Bird Treats

Don’t forget your feathered friend while you’re enjoying your holiday feast this year. Kaytee Natural Spray Millet Bird Treats will keep her satisfied and stimulated by mimicking the kind of foraging she does in the wild. This low-fat treat is ideal for all hookbill species such as parakeet and macaw and can be either hung in the cage or handed directly to your bird — a perfect Christmas gift.

Kaytee Veggie Basket Treat Holder

Another excellent present that will keep your buddy active during mealtime is the Kaytee Veggie Basket Treat Holder. This makes treat time even more fun as your bird jumps and pecks at her veggies, performing her own Christmas ballet just for you! Don’t forget to sit back and appreciate the curiosity your bird has for her new feeder as you enjoy your own holiday presents.

Kaytee Nature’s Nest Bamboo Canary Nest

You’re going to have one cozy canary on your hands when she snuggles up in Kaytee’s Nature’s Nest Bamboo Canary Nest. Each handmade nest is easy to hang, so you won’t need to spend your holiday fussing over setting it up. Its tiny size and comfy material might even encourage your bird to invite her mate to the nest — ’tis the season, after all!

It doesn’t take much to help your feathered friend get in the Christmas spirit this year. Hopefully, one of these eight best gifts for birds will make her season bright! If you’d like to know more, you can check our guide on what do baby birds eat and drink.

The best pet treats and toys to get this holiday season

With so many options for cat toys and treats, looking for the purr-fect gift for your feline friend can be overwhelming. Each cat has their own likes and dislikes, but unless they can learn to talk, their humans will have to lend a hand in deciding what's best. Regardless, your curious kitty is bound to be interested in any gift, especially ones like these.
Treats
Now your cat can join the party, too! Friskies Party Mix Crunch Chicken Lovers Cat Treats are both healthy and delicious, so you don't have to worry about over spoiling your fur baby. (Is that even possible?) Each individual treat, which is made of real chicken as its main ingredient, contains only two calories. The crunchy coating on the outside helps smooth away plaque on your kitty's teeth while occupying her with a titillating texture unique to this treat. You can purchase Friskies Party Mix in a wide variety of sizes, all of which come in a resealable pouch or tub, so the party can keep on going.

If you're looking for a treat that lasts a little longer, Sheba Meaty Tender Sticks Salmon Flavored Cat Treats can be fed in two ways. Your cat can earn pieces of the stick one by one or take her time to munch on a whole stick — though it won't last nearly as long as a dog's bone since it's a treat, not a toy. These treats are made of real meat and are grain-free, which is recommended for cats with sensitive digestive systems. (That means no corn, soy, wheat, or artificial flavoring!) Each package of treats contains five individually wrapped sticks, so you don't have to give them to your cat all at once, even though she'd love it if you did.

These tests are like 23andMe for your dog, and we love it

From the food we eat to the way we speak to one another, our ancestry shapes the way we live. Especially today, as communities become more diverse, people enjoy learning about their own history as well as that of their neighbors. Genetic testing kits such as 23andMe have become more and more popular in recent years, but there is still so much to learn. You might know your own ancestry, but do you know your dog's?

Whether you have a rescue or a purebred at home, there's always more to learn about your pup. Wisdom Panel offers a range of dog DNA testing kits, so you can get to know your furry friend even better than before, whether you're interested in health, genetic, or ancestry information.

$20 personalized pet socks are a gift too good to pass up

Remember receiving socks for a present when you were a child? The anticipation of opening your gift, then the awkward disappointment as you muster up a reaction and a thank-you? Don’t worry — these are not those socks. These are Chewy’s Tribe Pet Personalized Face Socks, which are customized to include your favorite picture of your pet over one of several colorful patterns. There’s even a holiday design, so you can feel both cozy and festive this winter. The best part? They’re only $20 a pair.
To personalize your own pet socks, simply visit Chewy’s website to select your favorite design, upload your images, and add the item to your cart. Easy, right? If you can’t pick just one photo to use, you’re in luck: Each sock has room for up to six images of your photogenic pet, so you can appreciate them from all angles. If your camera roll is mostly pet pictures, this is a gift for you — or at least one you’ll have fun designing!

When putting together your socks online, try to use photos of your pet’s face for the best results. Remember to crop your images so your pet takes up most of the frame, or you may risk lower-quality images. Because the design is digitally printed, what you see in your online preview is exactly the sock you’ll see in the mail later.
As if personalized pet socks weren’t paw-some enough already, they’re sustainable, too! The knit fabrics are made of recycled materials, so you know you’re helping the earth while you’re celebrating your pet. You won’t be distracted by any unsightly seams or gaps in the pattern, either. Each design is printed in a 360-degree panel that wraps all the way around each sock.
All five designs are printed in the United States. You can choose from Dog Paw, Cat Paw, or the multicolored Mosaic to show off your pet in an eye-catching fashion; or you can celebrate the winter season with a blue-and-white snowflake pattern. No matter which design you choose, your socks will come with a contrasting heel and toe, both in black. Check out the different product designs at Chewy.com if you’re curious about the rest of their brightly colored selections. Some of the designs even include multicolored frames that will surround your pet’s adorable mug with even more brightness and fun.
