Baby lovebird cage or what?!

[EAZi Parrot]

Hello, I was able to clarify my Lovebird's(Hoshiko) age from the shop and he's actually around 1.5 months old or a little less. I think putting him in the cage is a bit early. Although I keep the cage door open all the time it's still a bit harsh on him. He likes snuggling in a corner, or when I bring him out of the cage he just snuggles under my hand and tries to get warm. This is my first parrot since I was a kid and my dad used to raise Parrots. I was living in a small apartment so didn't have space for a bird. I moved to a new place and the 1st thing I did after settling down is getting this lovebird. I'm really dedicated and I can put timr and effort into raising my Hoshiko. I would appreciate any tips and suggestions you guys can give me. I'm thinking to pass by the shop and see if there's something smaller I can get that's a bit softer for him to snuggle in and sleep.
I've been reading a lot I'm the forum, you guys are extremely expert compared to my local petshops owners hehe.

1 more thing to clarify, Hoshiko doesn't stand on the perch at all, he always stands or sleeps on the floor of the cage.

He might like a Prevue cozy corner

Keep the bottom padded for now for better footing.

@fluffypoptarts can yout offer some advice? My babies were 10 and 8 weeks when I got them and weaned.

I used baby blankets folded up in zippered pillowcases until Neut stopped falling. I would definitely keep the bottom of the cage padded in the event of falls or frequent resting. But also be mindful of smothering or ingestion risks.

What about a little seagrass tent? (Made from 2 small seagrass mats clipped together, typically.)

I'm gonna buy a bigger cage for him today, and I'll try to set up something for him, he's a bit stable and not falling or anything much. But a seagrass tent would be really nice for him. Yesterday I went to several shops but couldn't find something suitable for him, whatever I found had a very small hole in it and I thought it's not big enough for him to walk in and out. Anyways I'll stop this thread here and start a new thread. I'll tag you guys there. I'm thinking to take a new decision and thought you guys might be a great help.
