Mica and Daffy, greatly missed
One of my worst fears came true today. We had thought our cats were messing around with Little Bird's toy bag because she was innocently sitting in her cage when we came home. However, it took only a few seconds to realize that she had escaped her cage while we were out, chewed through her cage heater cord (which was thankfully unplugged) and chewed through a pen (didn't break the ink tube). It seems that while she was out she mostly went through her toy bag which I save for when she is out of the cage (it's a gallon size ziplock bag that is full of toys and it was mostly empty and chewed).
I am still beside myself with worry over what could have happened and very thankful she seems okay. I have an older Kings cage with the bolts and triangles and somehow she unscrewed a bolt and got out through the food bowl door. As I am sitting here and typing, I just saw her reach her beak through the bars and try to twist the bolt, I never even realized she could reach it.
I am going to be searching cages today, but if anyone has a specific cage recommendation for a Goffins Cockatoo please let me know.
