Hello, I hope this is the best forum for these questions! Please let me know if there is a different one I should put this on.
We might be having some friends come and stop with us for a while and they would be bringing their children with them. They get along great when we visit with our conure but it might be different living with each other.
I just wanted to check how other people keep their birds safe around children. We're particularly worried about them closing/slamming doors as it's not something they've really had to think about and our bird tends to perch on top of doors and poke her head through! Also, things such as opening doors & windows if anyone has any latches they could recommend. Our bird is out at any point we're home which is most of the day and she doesn't like to be in her cage so I would appreciate any training tips on how to help her think of it as her safe space as well, please. She has plenty of high perches on the windows to go to if she needs to feel safe as well.
I don't know if anyone has bought or made any door safety features that could prevent anyone from closing the door abruptly or something that stops the birds from landing on doors in the first place? Looking for any help or suggestions! Thank you!
