Cyard Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I have a slightly irritating issue with my cage. :unsure: I am hoping for suggestions on getting around the issue. I have a 36 X 28 X 70 cage with a play area on the top but no place to really hang toys from the top. I am only able to attach the toys to the sides because the top is a side out tray. Does any one else have this type of cage? I worry that hanging them only from the side is not going to be stimulating enough for them. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Dave007 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I have a few cages that are the same style. If there's a grating ( which is usually the top of the cage) on the top of the cage on which the tray slides on to, slide the tray out and put it away. Usually, those top trays are used to collect droppings but there's loads of birds out there that don't like those top trays at all and the owner just slides it out and doesn't use it.<br><br>Post edited by: MrSpock, at: 2007/10/19 05:27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I have a slide out tray on mine on top too. What I do is just slighty lift the tray while I hook the toy on the grid and place it back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyard Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Wonderful, I think I will just take out the grate and set it down in my basement. I have alot of nice natural light in my house and I myself dislike how dark it makes the bottom of the cage. I was just worried that I needed to use it for some reason.

Toni Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I like keeping mine because on top Alcazar uses his foot toys and wobble ball. If I didnt use it then the foot toys will fall through to the poopoo area, ewww.He seems to play more on his top play area than his cage area.

Connie Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Foot toys are a great idea, you can also introduce a basket of toys for your bird to pick from. I also took the tray of mine as Darla didn't like it, but man is she a messy bird... she poops on all her toys inside the cage, from above.

Cyard Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 It sounds like it is going to depend on my little guy and what he likes. So far he is very fond of bottle caps and cuddling so I think that I will just play the cage top by ear and see which one he will prefer once he gets more comfortable. Thanks everyone for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 great advice here. i have a split level cage, which has a small play area with a tray, i have to lift that to hook toys under it.. but brian never uses that play area. (go figure) he preferrs his stand and rope at the window. so i think i'm gonna take that tray out too! down with the trays!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
