Moving in
So I've read in bird psychology articles and general advice for parrot owners that there needs to be somewhere safe for the bird to escape to or sleep in, preferably separate from the main foraging areas, and high up for security. When I got my conure, her breeder gave me a happy hut, and when I asked him about the hormonal risks I'd also read about, he said he hadn't had any trouble with it, or heard anything about it. I took the happy hut anyway, because of course I wanted only the best for my new babe, but I'm having second thoughts now after continued research.
I'm wondering, because I'm getting some mixed reviews, are happy huts actually safe? If not, what other "safe spaces" do your birds' cages have in them, if at all?
When I read about the dangers of happy huts, I took it out of her cage, and she's been fine with sleeping on one of the natural perches. Is this good enough, or should I do more?
