Re: Sleeping Cage? Newbie question
Thanks! This is my first bird, so I have no idea what is "right" and "wrong", hence all the questions.

Re: Sleeping Cage? Newbie question
Thank you for the input! I know that my boyfriend had wanted to get our bird a second cage because our main cage is quite large and can't go through the doorways. While our house has an open concept for the living area, I do have some days that I spend in bed due to health issues, and we wanted a ca...

Sleeping Cage? Newbie question
Hello! We are hoping to get to bring Carmen home in the next couple of weeks! We have a nice large cage for her/him, but my boyfriend wants to get a smaller 'sleeping cage' as well. What is everyone's thoughts on this? Should we start using it the first night? Should we put toys in it? Any advice is...

Re: First time bird owner
Thank you for the input! After reading what you said about the cage being too big, I measured my doorway to my bedroom, and indeed the cage is too big to fit through! by a good 10 inches! lol, I guess I wasn't thinking of that. My boyfriend is already talking about getting a second cage for the bedr...

Re: First time bird owner
LOL, I just suffer through and medicate at night sometimes. I wouldn't have the cage in my bedroom at all times, just sometimes. I guess my question was more of if it disrupts them to occasionally move the cage to a different room?

Re: First time bird owner
The bird should be able to see the bunny. The house is kind of an open concept house with a wall in the middle (probably structural as it is vaulted ceilings). While the bird cage will technically be in a different room from the bunny, it is in plain view. The cage is also on wheels so I was wonderi...

Re: First time bird owner
Thank you for the input! The salad will be easy as I make my bunny a salad twice daily. I've seen a few different people say to not teach them whistling first or they may not talk later, so thank you for the reinforcement on that thought. I would never give it junk food, but my boyfriend would be te...

First time bird owner
Hello! My name is Stepheny and my boyfriend and I are in the process of buying our first bird, an IRN. We don't know if it is male or female yet, but have named it Carmen. It's currently living at the pet store until it is weaned. Seeing as we are first time bird owners, I'm finding this forum of ex...
