Cha_Cha and Fingers on tour!

[Irishj9]

Long weekend here in South Africa, so I'm off home to see the mad gang in Capetown. ( Lots of pix on the way over the weekend)

I'm staying in a rented apartment here in the big city, but my landlord says I can bring some birdies back to stay with me.

HMM such a hard decision to make. Its a ground floor apartment in a heavily wooded residential area, still there ARE limits.

So I think it must be Cha_Cha and Fingers. Its almost breeding season and Its about time she laid a successful clutch. She's 5 now. I think the change and the peace and quiet (i.e. lack of crazy screaming neighbours) will do the pair good.

So I bought a large cage last night, not as big as their flight, but lets face it, they will be out with me every evening anyway lol. Now to fit their nestbox and lots of bottlebrush for climbing. Plus some mechanism to keep those 3 LARGE food doors caique proof.

I have the perfect spot to place it, right by a big window in the flat, where they can look out on trees and threaten the local wild birdies lol

So now the long drive , 12 hours each way. Hmm ill consider putting them on a flight.

Anyway watch this space!

Oh the last owner of the cage was hilarious last night. She was at pains to point out the lovely perch on top where the birdies could sit and play.

Laugh?.....I nearly spilled my Drink......

I told her thats just a launch pad, not a permanent residence.

LOL

I have always wanted a corner cage like that. They are going to love their new digs and the peace and quiet I am sure. I can never picture your flock sitting still for very long for some reason lol.

That's great to hear you will get to have Fingers & ChaCha with you. It must be hard being away from all the gang so long.
I hope the new ambiance and honeymoon suite will have the desired effect!

You probably already did it, but for the newbies sake.... remember to clean thoroughly and sterilize a used cage.

Already cleaned it all over with bleach and left it to dry overnight.

Birdies won't need it for 3 days

Awesome!

(and again, just a side note for any lurking newbies that may read this thread..... We always rinse EXTREMELY well after using bleach mixtures. Birdies beaks and tongues will be touching those bars)


Now...... updated pictures??

LOL she has a point @Irishj9

 

[Irishj9]

Almost home. Still 2 hours out lol

 

[zoo mom]

That had to be a hard decision which to take back with you. I would have voted for Thumper Fuzz Butt.

 

[Irishj9]

Yes Thumper and Diva were the early favorites. But I want Cha Cha to have babies

Two seconds after walking in the door. Shattered after 6 hour drive

 

[Irishj9]

Of course I brought a bag of Walnuts. Always load the dice in your favor haha
