I am looking for an innovative way to keep the electrical cords, on the lights, I use on my stacking breeding cages, safe from being chewed by my birds....I hang 18" fluorescent lights above each cage on the rack...Anyone have something that keeps the cords safely out of reach of their busy beaks?
Thanks in advance for your ideas...

I use either critter cord or split loom.

We have used clear plastic tubing. Cut it long ways, place wire inside, and then zip-tie shut.

You can also use armored cable.

You can buy cord protectors meant for rabbits, otherwise pvc pipe as others said.

There are also plastic tracks you can use meant to hide wires on walls.
