Hello everyone!
I've been thinking for a while now of getting Maya a bigger cage. Her current cage is not small and so it is not urgent, but I've found this cage: www.amazon.co.uk/Popamazing-Parrot-Large-inches-Height/dp/B01G8MP27Y/ref=pd_sim_sbs_199_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=C2A2V8R4MR907Z2Z26PE which is huge. It is made of iron and powder coated and those who have bought it seem to have had a really good experience. It is really lovely and roomy, and big enough for her to a short distance from one end to the other once her wings grow back. I really want to give her the most space I possibly can for when I can't take her with me to work during the day. I have two questions:
1) Do you think the cage looks ok? I was a bit unsure about the upwards sliding feeder doors, but have decided to buy some small padlocks to secure them closed so Maya can't lift them up and trap herself underneath them.
2) If the cage is ok and I do go ahead with buying it, what is the best way to acclimatise Maya to her new home? I don't want to stress her out by just moving her straight from her old cage into the new one, so I was planning on leaving the new cage in the room for a few days so she could see it from the old one, encouraging her to play inside it, then gradually moving her toys and perches across and eventually moving her into the new cage. Do you think this will be ok? Is there anything I should consider?
Thanks in advance!
