Social – Social enrichment can refer to socializing with you or other avian members of the flock. If you ask your birds to socialize with other birds, please exercise caution and supervise the interaction at all times. Training time is a great opportunity for social enrichment. Time spent interacting with your companion birds can enhance your relationship.
