Stevie Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Hi bird fans. I might have stumbled upon a house saver,ie,furniture,door frames wallpaper etc.Two months ago i tried balloons ,and all types of things,you all know what i mean,amazon and grey fighting for the same bit of wood,lol.A bout a month ago i used an ostrich feather duster.Well a month later my girls still freak and fly away from said duster.No matter where i place it ,they both give it a wide berth.Door frames,furniture,no matter where,they just avoid it like it was the most hated thing.So i went a got another 2 and placed them when were all in the same room.Well people ,so far so good.I hope this continues to be good news.Thanks for reading this rather long thread.I hope it might be of use and works for some one else.

Ray P Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Some times you have to try many things before you find one that works. We have peacocks and we tried peacocks feathers and they did not work for us.
danmcq Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Good find for you! We use various items that keep the birds away from forbidden areas. I must say though, most are only a fear inducer for 2 months maximum, then it's time to search for another monster/predator/scary thingy.
Luvparrots Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Glad you found something that works for you in your house Stevie! I use the "get out of there" voice with my gang. This works for me and Ana Grey and Louie have learned a new phrase.... which I hear back at me at least once a day (with proper emphasis)!!! LOL!!!
Talon Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Yup, my greys don't like the feather duster, but my amazon loves it Nothing but the vacume scares her
bmatrow Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Speaking of things birds are scared of, I found the other day my birds won't come near me if I'm wearing a hat. I walked up to the cage and at first couldn't figure for the life of me why they seemed so nervous. Then I realized it was the first time I had wore my hat next to they're cage. I took it off and they calmed right down.
chezron Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 My grey LOVED the feather duster! It became his favorite destructible item. I am glad it works for you.
