Hey all!
Artemis, Angel and Addie have all individually discovered how to unlock their cage doors from the inside.. How can I keep their doors shut? I do like the idea of letting them wander about freely but they tend to wreak havoc to the daybed pillows. Any ideas on locks that my birdies can't pick?
- Kisses from the guys!!

Stainless padlock (other metals may be toxic, so be sure it's stainless). No way a bird can get one of those off (unless you leave the key in). It is the best secure solution and will provide a lifetime of cage security:).

When my JoJo started playing with the latch on his door, I added a small swing tab at the top. Same type that is on the food and water doors. Drilled a hole and mounted the latch using nut and bolt nut on outside and put a second one to hold the tab. A little superglue and done.

With love birds, who are one of the great escape artist birds out there, believe it or not, if you get a really big (macaw sized) quick link, and close it very tight, that USUALLY is enough to keep the door shut. They need to be on the doors and the treat cup doors.

I've sat and watched lovebirds open their treat cup doors before.
