Oh, reading about Harley & Jazz makes me want my baby now
Lefty, Harley sounds as adorable as Jazz. How did you bring him into your home? Was he at a pet store?
Lefty, could you give me specific measurements of your cage? I work part-time - but with the commute am gone about 7 hours at a time. My little conure & tiel are okay with me being gone so long. When I come home I open their cage doors (they are in my study/computer room) & I can leave them there with occasional supervision.
I am trying to figure out where to put Gertie - I would like to keep her in my study while I am gone so she can be around other birds (after quaratine of course). But I think I will have to separate her from my other birds when I am home - i.e. I should not leave them out alone as I do now. (please note that I don't leave them totally unsupervised when I am home - I check on them frequently).
Maybe I will use a couple of playstands or something. I also have thought of a smaller cage to use for when I am at home but can't be there to supervise her. That way she can play by herself in another room when I am at home but too busy to supervise her. And then with the larger cage in the study with the other birds she can have company when I am gone.
What do you think?
I think that Gertie (or Janie) my new baby (ha see I've already named her & it might be a year before I get her)...might need a large cage since I will be gone. My little green cheek has a 25 w x 20 d x 40 tall dome-top cage and she uses every single inch!
I"ve read that Capes need lots of chewing toys - is this true? Beth - thanks for your descriptions of Jazz's toys & also directions for the net - I think I might start making one now :0
