The New Bird Room

Subject: The New Bird Room Wed Aug 31, 2011 12:29 pm

I finally got around to taking some pictures of the new bird room. I love that they have their own space. Not that I don't like being around them, but now their mess is more contained.

I think it looks pretty damn good Smile

There's also enough room for another cage in the room...kakariki? Bourke? Someday Smile

Looks great!

I love it! flappinhappy

If I can suggest you anything, I would put the newspaper on TOP of the grate and pull the newspaper up on the sides of the cage bars so they act as a seedskirt. Smile

That's what I started doing, and the area is SO much tidier and easier to clean.

When I moved in, the landlord was shocked at how big the cages were.

I love your cages. I know your fids do too. How are they taking the move?

The drive there was actually a lot more peaceful than I thought it would be.

Einstein sat beside me and my brother, while the budgies cage was on the ground below Einstein. Everyone could see me, and I know that they defiantly felt calmer when I was in view.

Bonnie spent the entire time on the bottom of the cage. I guess the road was too bumpy for her. Einstein stayed perched as close as possible to me, and was very quiet.

When we got here, their cages weren't set up for a few days. Einstein had to be able to see me at all times. He started screaming when I left the room, so I just brought his travel cage all over with me.

When they were settled into their cages, I thought it would be good to take them out. Everyone was uncertain, so suddenly, I had three birds attached to me. It was kind of nice having the budgies trust me completely. But now they're more settled, and the budgies have become independent again (*sigh*).

Alyssa - I was thinking about you on the 31st & 1st! My Clark Kent Day job sent me up to Thunder Bay for a 1 night event (ugh, landing & taking off 4 times each in a 24 hour period of time = exhausting).

You will LOVE having a separate area for the fids - containing mess = :bliss:

Glad to hear you're settling in ok. It looks like a great setup!

Now go and have a Persian - they're TB's equivalent to a Beavertail/Poutine in Ottawa!
