Pictures Cage adjustments

[Brittany0208]

I made some changes to Java's cage.
I took out that large shelf that covered the upper portion of his cage.
Took out most of the toys he wasn't using in case they were overwhelming him.
Added more platforms and resting spots.
Added a second bowl at the bottom of the cage that will be used for either pellets or water.
And I switched out some of the fabrics for more uniformed patterns in case they were concerning him.
So far, I REALLY like this setup better than the one before now that the shelf is out. The cage is brighter and he has more room.
Question: would a light- colored blanket be better to cover his cage with at night instead of the dark green? He still uses a nightlight but I wonder if a lighter colored blanket would help him sleep or keep him up.

Wow, that really opened up! It looks great and super plush. of course as beautiful as it is, pic #3 is my favorite. Somebirdy looks very pleased.

That looks really great and so soft for him to move around on. You could try the lighter blanket to see what happens, even with the nightlight it may help if the dark upsets him. As @faislaq said he looks very happy with his new setup in that picture.

Thank you. I'll try a lighter blanket beneath the fleece one, so he doesn't get a chill. Do you know if light colors are stimulating at night? I do hear him moving around a bit in his cage at night, so I wonder if he's trying to explore but can't because it's too dark.

Do you know if light colors are stimulating at night?

I am not sure. I know they can see many more colors than we can and different colors are attractive to different species of bird. But I am not sure if a certain color could be more soothing to a bird. Here is a small article on color you could maybe try one of the natural camouflage colors.

I like that you opened things up. Perhaps he might be more willing to try to move about more.

I got it from Drs. Foster and Smith, but you can find it on Amazon and Ebay. It's a Midwest Critter Nation Single Unit.
