Hello!
I just brought Stanley home last Sunday and am hoping to get some advice regarding how to best set up his cage. Stanley is 1 1/2 years old and only has two nails on one foot and somewhat of a knob (with slight toes) for the other foot. He seems to get around quite well using his beak and the shop helped me set up his cage in the best way they knew how. He has a few perches, one being a rope type, and a platform.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to make him most comfortable? I worry as he loses his balance quite easily. Other than that, I was also hoping for advice on how to help him come out of the cage more confidently. He will eventually get up on my fingers after pushing my hand away a few times, but is clearly anxious that he will fall. Sometimes he preemptively starts flapping his wings which starts pulling him backwards. Do greys like any type of sling to help them feel more secure? Should I let his wings grow out so he can fly?
Thanks for all the help!
