I got captain a cage upgrade! He was in Ben's old cage but that was the minimum size for him and he looked miserable in it. I got him the biggest cage I could fit in the room with my other three mansion cages lol he looks so much more comfortable and he has more variety of toys and perches now.

He has fused feet so I'm having a difficult time with his perch placement. He likes to move around the cage but he does so by climbing on the cage bars. It looks really uncomfortable and I worry that his feet might give out before he gets to the next perch. He won't go along a perch if it's on too much of an angle so it's difficult to give him height options.

Still, he seems a lot happier and is moving around more, if I could just get his perches right it would be great.

Not sure this would work, but maybe some 1 x 4 cut up to make steps from one level to the next on the side or back of the cage?

What a little cutie. Blue Crowns are wonderful.

He can't use platforms very well, his feet are stuck in a slightly curled position, he has a hard time flattening them. He's been getting around the cage better lately, I want to try to get a video of him. I'm so glad to see him using different sized perches and doing a little more stepping up and down.

I've already rearranged a few times since I took these pics, I think I've finally got a decent set up for him. I have a feeling another rearrangement will happen after the bird expo lol
