Hi, guys! It’ll be several months before a private breeder in my area will start to breed GCC. I’m getting everything needed ahead of time, so everything will be ready for him by the time he gets here. I got him a variety of toys, Pak-O-Bird carrier, and a 22 inch deep by 32 inch long cage for him. All I need now are perches. In any case, I have a question about bird cage placement. At the moment, the only option I have is to place about half of the cage in front of a window, the other against a wall. I have a blackout curtain that will prevent him from being forced to look outside. I also normally keep the bag of the cage cover on the cage, so the back of the cage will be blocked from the window by the blackout curtain and his cage cover. My question is if this seems like an okay place for him. My biggest concern is drafts, but my windows are pretty sealed and the thick blackout curtain and bird cage cover will help keep any unlikely drafts from reaching him. Does anyone else have suggestions, or does the current placement seem okay?
Also, since it will be a baby when I get him, do you guys recommend me placing toys and perches lower than what I normally would in a more grown GCC’s cage? This will be the first bird I get that isn’t grown, so any advice will be helpful. Thank you guys!
