The SuperUnknown

Hi all, My name is Debby and my cag`s name is Nellie but I call her Bird. I know, not very imaginative. She calls herself "Bird Whacker". She`s a rescue bird, more or less. My son found her at a beagle breeders house when she was 9 months old, stuffed in a dark corner and out of the way. She was locked up in a very small cage with no toys of any kind and was never let out or played with, the woman of the house was terrified of her. He couldn`t leave her!!!!! He also couldn`t keep her so you know the rest of the story. She lives with mom. (me) She is, for the most part, a friendly bird with her chosen people. (heaven help you if your not `chosen.`) David, my son, is her MOST chosen person or as I call him...her boyfriend. My husband is her playmate and I am her caregiver. She has learned many words in the year and a half we`ve had her and is happy. She was a feather picker (who wouldn`t be?) when we got her and has recovered completely from that nasty habit. She has many "pets". Her cats are terrified of her, much to her delight and she has a small dog that cleans around her cage. She loves taking a shower with her `daddy`, laying on her back to play and swinging from my couch pillows. But all is not well. I am also an orchid hobbyist and her room is also the sunroom. You can imagine the destruction at times. No, I don`t blame her. The plants are there and she`s most certain they are for her entertainment. I can`t lock her in a cage again. So I would like to build her a floor to ceiling `pen` so that she and my plants can live in harmony. Do any of you have your birds in such a pen? Any suggestions? Does anyone know where one might find plans/pictures? I`m enjoying reading all your posts and visiting the web pages. Blessings! Debby
