灰鸚鵡為高度智慧且情感需求強烈的伴侶型鳥類,長時間生活在刺激不足、形式單一的環境中,容易產生焦慮、無聊等心理壓力,進而出現抓咬羽毛、自殘或重複性行為等問題。
現有市面上的鸚鵡架多以全金屬結構為主,雖是為了防止啃咬,卻忽略了鸚鵡在心理層面與行為層面的需求。
以改善灰鸚鵡因環境單調與刺激不足所引發的抓咬、自殘等心理行為問題為核心,Playc透過重新思考鸚鵡與居家環境的互動關係,設計一款結合行為豐富化概念的鸚鵡活動架。
架體搭配可更換的互動玩具,並以洞洞板系統作為模組化基礎,讓飼主能依鸚鵡狀態自由調整與組裝,提供持續變化的探索刺激,進而降低焦慮與重複性行為,讓鸚鵡的生活環境從冰冷制式的鐵製結構,轉化為更具溫度與陪伴感的居家空間。
African Grey parrots are highly intelligent companion animals with strong emotional. When kept in environments that lack stimulation and variation, they are likely to experience stress, anxiety.
Most parrot stands on the market are made of metal to prevent damage from chewing, but they often overlook parrots’ psychological and behavioral needs, providing limited interaction and enrichment.
Playc addresses this issue by rethinking the relationship between parrots and their home environment. Centered on behavioral enrichment, it introduces a modular activity stand that integrates a pegboard system with interchangeable interactive toys. Caregivers can easily adjust and reconfigure the setup based on the parrot’s condition.
This design creates continuous environmental variation, encourages exploration, and helps reduce stress-related behaviors such as feather plucking and repetition. It transforms a rigid metal stand into a more engaging, adaptive, and companion-oriented living space.
