The cage's been out for 1.5 month and I've bored a tunnel in the wall so the birds will eventually be able to go in and out as they wish (when they learn tunnels don't eat small birdies up...). The birds love it and we were living happily ever after until Monday evening.
I was sitting on my balcony with the birds when my neighbor from the first floor started shouting at me that the feathers and seeds were everywhere on her veranda and to do something about it at once because she was fed up with cleaning every day...
Had she told me 2 weeks ago, it was still possible to move the cage on the other side to the veranda, but with the tunnel in the wall now, I can't move it anymore. I can't pack the birds in either, they are outside to get some fresh air and light, not to be cooked in an oven.
I found a mosquito net I fitted on the veranda railing + attached a bamboo mate on the side of the cage so that things wouldn't fly out. Also, I stopped giving them seeds outside, they only get some when they come inside.
Still, not good enough, says my nice neighbor
. I took the birds in and cleaned the cage with brush and vacuum cleaner. Nova is shedding feathers at the moment. Is there any way I can bound them so they wouldn't fly around? The only thing I can think of is having a thin layer of water at the bottom but that would only fix the feathers actually falling down. Many of the smallest ones are sitting in the net itself, on the cage's sides, and since the birds aren't using the bottom of the cage, the feathers start flying from the upper part of the cage...
