Bar spacing for a IRN
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2005 4:26 pm
Hello,
I will be fostering a IRN. I have a cage that is 24 inches by 38 inches by 5 foot tall. The bar spacing is 3/4 of a inch. Is this to large of bar space? I would love for him to have a large cage, it also has a playtop. He is not sociable and is considered a "show bird". Does not like to be touched, will step up on perch or arm (only if you have a long sleeved shirt on. But is very unsocialable. Which I will be working on with him. My BIG question is the bar spacing, if 3/4 of a inch will be to big?
Also..... differnet subject, but same bird. He will be in the spare bedroom..Which is a bird room now
But am worried because he will be hte only bird in there. Door will be opened and he will hear us. Also my spending time in there with him. I wondered if I should foster another birs right away so he will have another bird in there. Is that a good Idea? He has been in foster care for almost a year and is back with a large group of birds (19) and will be coming here with 2 Umbrellas and a COckatiel. And beleive it or not, a rather quiet house.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
I have looked online nad read several good articles. But have not found anything on hte bar spacing.....
Thank you,
Laura
