Crazy gifts for parrot fans

Bottle openers, Lego and the like: here are five fun gifts for anyone with a bird.
From pretty to ugly, from useful to useless: every parakeet fan is sure to be (not) happy about these Christmas gifts.
Lego
These birds don't make a mess or noise. However, they are not particularly fluffy, but rather angular. Just like Lego-«Brickheadz». We have budgie and cockatiel building sets in the shop.
Bottle opener
No, I don't want to tempt anyone to get drunk. After all, there is also non-alcoholic wine. And that's what you like to drink at Christmas, isn't it? RIGHT??? This parrot-shaped bottle opener opens the drink with its beak in true style.
Wine bottle holder
This turns the macaw into a schnapps thrush. Incidentally, the manufacturer Brubaker also offers a thirsty cow and a tipsy giraffe.
Pillowcase
Admit it: This 100 per cent polyester cushion cover isn't very subtle. But hey, this is about fun gifts, right? And from an ornithological point of view, the cockatiel isn't too bad: The bird sports a red cheek patch, which is typical of many colour strokes.
Books
Finally, some serious reading material. If you are thinking of getting birds, you should at least have read a guide to keeping them in a species-appropriate way. I can highly recommend the book about cockatiels: I have it myself. We also have well-founded books on budgerigars in our range.

If you are interested in larger birds, such as a grey parrot, you should read this book. Because the bigger the parrot, the more attention it needs.
