Break Out

[sixwings]

So far we've only come across a few break outs, meaning the birds broke themselves free from their cage. With the cats, we didn't trust the birds alone at home. We now use twist ties so we don't encounter any issues. My dad has also put a twisty-bolt thingy on all the dish holders so they don't open those and escape.

 

My uncle however has an issue. He owns a Blue Head Pionus, Rocky. The bird was a rescue and really isn't used to having any toys, nutritious food, a nice big cage, social interaction or normal vet visits. He had nothing to chew on, so he turned to chewing at his cage. Now being in a loving home, spoiled, with a nice cage, he's decided to chew up his cage. Rocky chewed the cage so much he took the bars right out. So now his cage bars are loose, having him capable of a easy escape. He's looking into a new cage for him, but he's afraid Rocky will just escape again. He too has a cat and worries of accidents that may occur. Is there anything he can do so this doesn't happen again? He's already provided so many toys and things to chew on, but Rocky still love chewing on his cage. :unsure:

He needs a very strong cage.I know they are expensive but stainless steel cages are the best.I use the quick links that you get on toys on all cage doors.

Well the cage he has is a Kings Cage. They're suppose to be good, but apparently his cage failed. I did suggest stainless, and yes they are expensive. I guess he has to invest in it. Thanks!
