Playing on his bell in the cage:

 

 

Getting the Casba ready and inviting my wife:

Both outstanding! I was intrigued by the idea of the milk bone box in the bottom of the cage. Is that a sleeping place or just a play place?

[danmcq]

Thanks Barbara. It is just a play area he enjoys. He sleeps on his top perch in a corner or in his food bowl once in a blue moon.

 

Edited to add: He has had a Box like this in his cage since he was about 6 months old. When he was young, sometimes I would find him sound a sleep on his belly and his feet sticking out of the opening. He never does that anymore. We change the box about every 2 weeks, by then he has chewed and scratched the bottom and opening out.

thanks for sharing! I might try a playbox too after Timmy is more comfortable with his new home!

[KimKim]

Aw, he looks so sweet in his box.

[Barbara2]

I'm just trying to figure out where I could put it so it doesn't get pooped on. Maybe I need to have it laminated first.

[danmcq]

Oh it will get pooped on.

 

We change his box out about every 2 weeks. BY then our Dobermans have gone through another box of them. We clean the top off every day.

[Barbara2]

It is giving me serious ideas. I do have access to a laminate machine. I can see me pursuing this.

[FirstPenguin]

I would avoid lamination. I would use plain brown cardboard. There is no way to avoid it getting chewed up and pooped on or in.

Great vids and nice box.

Dayo is such a lucky bird to have such great Parronts.

[Codys Mom]

I love the box idea and I think Dayo is so smart and handsome

[judygram]

Dayo is....well...... certainly Dayo is one of a kind but we love him.
