why dont you just try and give your birds more green veg?? plwnty of calcium there

ok thanks for your opinion. BTW what are boings lol ive never heard of them!

Im doing some research on parrot play gyms and perches and i think you guys can help me . could everyone please tell me what they want in a perch and play gym. What matters most and what you like them to have Thanks everyone

Im in the same position as you. My grey was clipped when I adopted her. Shes molting now so her flight feather will be back soon. Im still undecided as what to do

congrats. you have a lovely bird

hahaha awwww thats too adorable!!

Thats true. I think your right. Thanks

I think your right. I just feel bad doing it. But I guess its for her own good

I was thinking about that actually but i wasnt sure whether I should or not. When she comes down theres reall no where for her to go other than run up and down the hall. The kitchen door is closed in case someone comes in and leaves the door open. I dont mind her comming down there is no risk to her in the hallway but at the same time i dont want her thinking she can just do what she wants whenever she wants :dry:

I wasnt being high and mighty, im here to make friends not enemies. You just gave the impression that my bird was cut off from the family because her cage is in the hallway. Our house is small. Its literally about 20 steps from the front door to the back! The reason she is in the hallway is because she can see us there in the kitchen and living room but at night it will be quite there so she can get a good nights sleep. She has playstands that she is on for most of the day with us. But she cant have her own way all the time. Shes a bird not a child and there are times she has to be in the cage. I just wanted to know whether the fall could hurt her thats all and I apreciate the advice I just dont want everypne thinking I dont know how to look after her or that I dont care what happens to her

she isnt left by herself . Why would you just asume she was? the kitchen is about one step away from the hall! She can see us from her cage were only a few feet away. Also dont asume she doesnt have a playstand because she does. She stays on that but she cant be on it all day long she has to go to her cage sometime.

yeah I could try that!

We have no other pets so thats not a worry.Her cage is in the hall and the kitchen and living room doors stay closed while the top of her cage is open. theres nothing for her to chew in the hallway . The only place she can try and go is up the stairs. Immore worried if she could hurt herself on the fall down :pinch:

ok so its happened to me now too! Lilo my tag has started to jump off her cage and follow us around the house !! :woohoo: Now this doesnt bother me. When she cme out we keep a constant eye on her to make sure she is safe. The only thing worrying me is could she hurt herself jumping down from the cage? Her wings were clipped when i adopted her but i think it might be a bit severe she flutters to the ground but does make a bit of a thud. Could she hurt herself or would she be ok? Do I need to do anything ?

The fact that she like being out of her cage around you is a sign that she likes you! Play with that new toy with her. Btw I think stepping up onto a stick is a good sign. Im working on stepping up on my arm with my grey. She will step up onto my arm now and then but i think she feels too unsteady sometimes because she is used to sitting on a perch or a stick
