What do y'all do when your goofy birds decide to start unscrewing their perches and toys? Buzzard has become adept at unscrewing quick links & wingnuts and they fall to the floor of his cage. :confused: How do I keep them in place so he doesn't wear me out repairing them, putting them back, or come crashing down with them? :faint:
Have you tried these?

I have used them. They look nice. My bird is a wimp and doesn’t chew things so I’m no help to verify durability.

My birds could care less about stuff like that, but here's my two cents. For my budgies, I put paper that I fold a few times in front of the washer on the outside and sometimes inside of the cage. The birds enjoy shredding it both inside and outside of the cage. For a larger bird, you might be able to use something similar, such as thin cardboard. Placing a toy in front of the perch screw may also help, as long as he can't undo the toy as well. You may be able to use multiple hooks to secure toys too. Not sure if this helps, but good luck! :)
