I will be getting a baby sun conure in a couple weeks and am preparing her home .
I have a local shop that is seemingly trustworthy and they specialize only in parrots, big and small. While they don't sell or breed them, they carry just about everything else.
For the past X years, they have custom-made acrylic cages that really look incredible. There are about 1/2" slots up the sides of the cage and the top for mounting stuff/circulation.
My question is the droppings tray -- in 'normal' cages, I am used to seeing a metal grating separate the bird from the tray. But in this acrylic cage, there is no such grating -- the bird could hop right down into the tray for play, etc.
Should I be looking for a grate of some sort? Assuming the tray is cleaned each morning, is this not a big deal?
Thank you,
*Phil
