To use a hut...or not?

Post by Sgettie »

So we have our beautiful Nila home with us now and she is settling in beautifully but I am wondering if I should get her a happy hut (or similar) as she had one at her previous home.

Are there safety issues with them that I should be aware of??

Thanks in advance!!

Probably not a good idea. Irns are not usually snuggle hut kind of birds, unless they are thinking about nesting. It seems best to avoid them for that reason.
Safety concerns I've heard of are that the fabric can be ingested and cause impactions and birds can get caught in chewed/damaged fabric resulting in injuries and even deaths.
