Newman the nervous Nelly and the adjustment to his new SS cage (picture heavy)

Awesome!!
one thing i do to make sure it doesn't slide off the bars is block the movement with a couple of ss washers and a short bolt. Since the perches have those deep cross cut ends they tend to slide around. LOL again i should say this is the case in all my old chiquitas. Am i being a PITA with all this unwanted advice?

Man thats a nice cage - Makes me REALLY want to save for a stainless steel cage.

Not at all Saroj.

Actually, the brand new chiquita I bought for that little conure I had the perch did not slide. This one does, it slides something terrible.
I think because it was washed so many times the wood shrunk? Not sure if that is possible but I think it did. I was trying to figure out how to secure it. Thanks for the tip I DO appreciate it.

You tell the best stories Danita I am about Newman and his reflection

Mirror mirror on the wall.....

Danita that cage is beautiful indeed!
I loved that bea just walked right in and started to hang out. She is a one of a kind

I am very happy Newman is adjusting so well already thanks to you knowing his "weaknesses" (walnuts/can etc).

What a beautiful cage... Glad Newman likes it

 

[Thugluvgrl187]

Loved the photos and seems like your plan of action worked

 

[jmfleish]

Anyway, he soon discovered his reflection in the bars!!! Newman is a narcissist and he started flirting with his handsome self.

OMG! I so totally have a little TAG just like that! He thinks sunshine blows out his Beehind!

I wonder if anyone ever actually told Bea that she is an African Grey? Maybe I will keep it secret from her lol

They are funny
When I need to distract Newman, we go around to every mirror in the house. I put him right in front of it and say "WHO is that guy?" Then he fluffs up, taps the mirror over and over, showing off. Some reflections he likes better than others Not sure why?
