We have a wide selection of products for Macaws, Cockatoos, Parakeets, Cockatiels, Parrots, Conures and more. We offer all the products you will need to meet your pet’s four basic needs. ### Maintenance Needs - Seed Guard – Keeps seed inside the cage, prevents mess. - Hooded Seed Cup – Reduces seed throwing and mess. - Cage Litter – Allows for spot cleaning of soiled areas and the ease of daily cleaning promotes a cleaner environment. - Bird Bath – Birds are naturally clean animals and will bathe daily if they have a bird bath. - Plumage Conditioner – Reduces dander, shines feathers and stimulates preening. - Bird Protector – Preventing mites and lice is much easier than treating an infestation. They can enter the home from outside through an open window, or from clothing or other pets. - Perch Scraper – Wet wood can harbor bacteria. Perch scrapers clean wooden perches. ### Environmental Needs - Cage – The cage must be large enough to exercise their wings without hitting the sides. Correct bar spacing and strength is also important. Correct placement in the home is essential to providing a safe environment for the bird. - Playpen – Birds are social animals and need to spend time with the “flock.” A playpen provides a safe and convenient way for your pet to join the family throughout the home. It will also allow for mental stimulation. - Cage Stand – Keeps bird out of cool drafts, away from other pets. - Cage Cover – Allows proper rest and is quieting and calming to the bird. - Additional Perches – A variety of surfaces to exercise feet is important. ### Behavioral Needs - Ladders – In nature, birds stand on a variety of surfaces. Ladders provide for foot exercise and climbing. - Swings – Provide exercise and alternate perch sites. - Toys – Birds are naturally intelligent and inquisitive animals. Toys are necessary to provide mental stimulation. We recommend 3 to 6 per bird to rotate and prevent boredom. Natural fiber toys are great for single birds, mirrors are not. - Treat Sticks – Birds forage for their food naturally. Treat sticks provide an alternate food location, where the pet must work to remove food…this is a natural behavior. - Extra Seed Cups – Provides an alternate food location, and encourages foraging. ### Nutritional Needs - Staple Diet – Be sure to provide the proper food for your small animal’s age and eating habits. Provides basic nutrition. - Assorted Treats – Provides nutritional variety and, when added to a separate seed cup, will meet the need to forage. - High Protein Pellet – Non-seed nutritional variety. - Spray Millet – A natural food item and a must for young, weaning, and stressed birds. It is easy for weaning birds to eat. - Grit/Gravel – Ingested by birds to help grind food in their gizzard. - Stress Aid – Very important during environmental changes to maintain health (Ornabac). Will help replace naturally occurring intestinal bacteria. - Cuttlebone/Mineral Block – Calcium and iodine source, important to skeletal growth, maintenance and keeping beaks trim. - Vitamins – Just like with children, it is important to provide vitamins to help ensure proper nutrition. Powdered vitamins are the most effective. ``` Petland Dayton 1447 Google reviews Write a review Posted on Google Mercedez Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My man and I came by Monday, just looking around and ended up leaving with ALL three ferrets they had. We planned to get just two but the other one jumped up to us like she wanted to come too. Petland threw in a free ferret kit if we got the third one. I liked their financing plans they had as well it’s an easy way to bump my credit. So far Matcha, Mocha, and Lottie are loving their home. They love playing with the dogs and I love their silly personalities. I only wish they came potty trained, they didn’t have a specific area for them to pee or poop In so potty training has been a little difficult for the two older girls, only reason why I’m doing 4 stars instead of 5. But we are very happy with our girls and the free ferret kit ended up helping us a lot more than we expected 🫶🏻 thank you to whoever said it was okay to throw it in. It’s also a very specious pet land compared to the one next to my job, we will probably be back. Posted on Google Daniel a Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got some tiger barbs from there, and they looked great. Good color, good shape. Morgan helped me out with them and she was fantastic! Excellent customer service. I'll be back!
