I'm really going to need some help figuring out the setup for the Fearless Four. Though I have some experience creating setups for birds with disabilities (aka Kamara), I've never had a blind bird before, and I'm at a bit of a loss.
What little I've found states that the enclosure should always be the same; no rotating toys or rearranging once the birds are settled. Will that be troublesome re: keeping Terre entertained, since he has his sight? How can I offer enrichment in ways that don't mess with the layout?
Ciel has a great deal of trouble with his balance, and Arbre likely will as well with no wings; is there a way that I can set up the cage so that they can navigate and follow their flock without having to climb the bars? Should I keep only platform perches to prevent them from falling, or will that cause damage to Soleil and Terre's feet?
Their cage will be a Critter Nation, one level.
I need every suggestion or idea you've got!
And...in case anyone needs the guide:
Soleil: blind
Ciel: blind, one leg
Terre: one wing
Arbre: blind, no wings, missing upper beak
