MAARS needs your help to create a new sanctuary that provides space for flight. Your support is vital for giving the birds an environment that can better meet their unique needs than the current location.
Part 1-Studies show auditory enrichment benefits companion birds. Parrots thrive when their environment encourages natural behaviors like social interaction. Sound prevents boredom that can lead to destructive habits such as feather plucking or excessive screaming.
Birds react differently to music; gentle nature sounds or music—Mozart, reggae, or soft jazz—can be utilized to reduce stress. In the wild it’s rarely quiet so low background noise can be calming. Caregivers often leave a radio on so birds sing and dance.
Here at MAARS, many of our parrots respond positively to various types of music-one of our flock members even sings opera! Here, a volunteer shares her piano skills on a toy piano with an engaged listener. Sharing is caring:
