The hut is definitely a safety hazard-- if you are bent on having something like that, maybe sea-grass could be safer but even then, they could still get tangled in it potentially.

I think that most birds tend to like huts/tents (whether it is good for them or not---it tends to be their nature to find dark, nest-like places). I know my cockatoo does, but she doesn't get one because it makes her hormonal to have access to things like that (no dark spaces for Noodles).

Now, if your adult quakers aren't giving you any hormonal issues and they are doing okay, then that is good BUT, I wouldn't start a new bird off with one just because it is a gamble in terms of hormones and health. The bottom line (at least in my opinion) is that they are not necessary. Birds of all types do fine without them, so why risk it by introducing something unnecessary that could potentially harm them.

If you want a break from the perches, get some bird-safe rope perches (not cotton preferably). Also, by varying the types of perches in the cage, you prevent your birds feet from rubbing on the same areas all of the time, so that is recommended either way (to prevent bumble foot).

As always I buck the trend here on sleeping. Yes everything said above is true, threads, those fluffy huts are the worst! Crop impactions ECT.

I make my own using safer materials..check and remake them regularly. All of my birds use a sleeping chamber..
We are all here to share our experience.

I don't give my birds those chew toys with rope fringe, or fabric fringe toys because of the risks of threads. There are so many toys like that and I never hear that discussed.

They don't technically need a special place to sleep, even if they are inclined to enter them when provided. Cockatoos are "cavity nesters" but mine sleeps just fine in her covered cage---no issues. Sure, there are birds out there who manage with huts/sleeping spaces, but most do better without them and none NEED them...If you provide a covered cage, that is sufficient---may be a challenge for those older birds who have grown used to a certain type of hut though...That is why I suggest that you go without with this new bird.

Yeah I removed it from his cage and he actually seemed happy because he had more room to play. As for my parents older quakers I don't think they will be happy about having them removed so i got them sea-grass huts and hopefully those are much safer. Thanks again for the suggestion.

Looks great! The only thing I would say is that dowel perch should be changed out for something with a natural texture---especially if he is sleeping on it or spending a large portion of his day there. You can get custom-made perches w/ textures/width variation to fit your cage if that perch came with it.

If he isn't spending a lot of time on it and your are sure he isn't sleeping on it, then it's probably fine.
Do you have any pummice perches in there for nail assistance? Not the sandpaper ones, but the "sweet feet" types? That might be something to consider if you don't have any already---can't tell.
