Post your Special Needs Cage set-ups here!!

[Danita]

People always need help figuring out how to set up their cages for the special birds. Post pictures everyone

The tiel, has a flat surface. Above his mirror, there is a heat lamp. I modified his food dish and added rope to the perch part so it would be easy for him to grasp. I use a tea towel to cover the flat surface so he doesn't slip.

The CAG was too weak to have a whole cage to herself when I first got her. I put a false bottom in the upper part of her cage, strong cardboard, attached to the sides with those zip ties. The cardboard was covered with fleece. The perches were all low.

The TAG had a toe injury, so I used a long cage. I layered with blankets to just under the rope perch and the food dishes were all handy. He loved it and lived there for 10 days.

Well... my tiel doesn't want to go to bed if her cage is not covered. Since I've got her I used to cover her cage. Since then she doesn't go to sleep if her cage is not covered. It makes her feel much safetier. I just let the front of the cage uncovered that she can see if something is happening. One day I tried just to cover all the cage and she screamed that I thought that she'll die I saw that tiels don't like the changes. I posted a pic. In this one she was covered (during the day I cover just the top of the cage because sometimes she sleeps) and also curious.

That Jamie always pulls at my heart strings. How is he doing Danita?

Here's Twinkie and Pi's cage.

The bottom is foam covered in fleece and covered in paper towel for easy cleaning and comfort on Twinkie's breast bone. Pi's shelves are also covered in the foam/fleece/paper towel combo to relieve stress on his lone foot.

All food is at ground level for Twinkie.
