HeatherStrella Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Here's a picture of Harrison's cage. I'm wondering if there's too much stuff in it. It's kinda hard to tell what is hanging where...can you guys give me your opinion? P.S. The ball above him is his absolute favorite toy. I described in another thread what he does with it, but I'll say it again here. He basically attacks and screams at it then all of a sudden he'll stop and put his head down wanting a scratch from the ball...lol.

Talon Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 There is alot of toys in it. But if she is in her cage alot, it seems ok. Perhaps you could move some down below with a climbing perch to reach them below. It might give her more to do. They really enjoy climbing up & down.

judygram Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 At first glance it looks like a lot but not too much. Maybe you could spread them out more. Be sure to rotate toys from time to time so he does not get bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Talon hates it if I move anything around in her cage! She will refuse to go in it. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 How does she react to switching out toys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblhelix Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Lots of toys is good, provided there is enough space in the cage for the bird to spread its wings completely in a few spots and allow it to sit in most places w/o feathers etc rubbing up on anything. You also want to try and place things to minimize one being directly under another so most droppings make it to the floor! This also helps ensure a clear path in case there is a fall to the cage floor. In any event, lots of toys and rotating them is generally good to keep them mentally stimulated, particularly if they spend long stretches during the day in the cage. Its a good idea to try and keep trying to get them to accept new things. This only makes them more accepting to change in and more tolerant to adversity. If your bird is spooked, keep trying, show them its OK and fun etc. Dont overwhelm them but dont give up either! Remember they live a long time and are creatures of habit so things will not change over night. The more you can work with them to take adversity in stride the healthier they will be in the long run!

Talon Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Judygram, Sometimes good, sometimes bad. It depends on the toy, she definitely prefers smaller ones to bigger ones. ANd she hates the color white!!:pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I haven't noticed whether Josey prefers a certain color. She is usually pretty accepting of most any new toy. Some she plays with right away and some she could care less about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
