Feathery
Sprinting down the street
Good afternoon everyone!
I've recently been trying to find a good set up in my birds' cage. I find myself moving the perches around, seeing which they prefer, what overlaps and is in the "drop zone" etc.
Something I have found challenging is trying to hold the perch in place while I secure the screw fixture on the outside.
The cage is somewhat large and my arms simply aren't long enough to reach through the door all the time to hold the perch in place. I do use the small bowl doors when i can, but it's not always within reach.
I've had some success putting the dowel rods the cage came with up temporarily to hold the perch in place, but doesn't always work.
I fear i may give my birds a heart attack if another perch falls and clangs on the cage bottom. I feel terrible when that happens.
How do you guys hold perches on place when mounting in a difficult area? Or also removing them for cleaning without letting them drop?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
