i am the mom of three parrots:
Dorothy- African grey (cag)
Bowie- blue and gold macaw
Nellie- hyacinth macaw
Reggie- hyacinth macaw
Marnie- white bellied caique
I have a rescue lca at my home. She is very overweight and also feels very weak when she has sat on my hand. I have been trying to research and as many of you know have been asking lots of questions, thanks by the way for being so patient and helpful! I started thinking about all the reasons for her weakness (she is going to vet tomorro) I am now wondering if being in this very rusty cage could be the problem. My husband and I went and looked at cages for her yesterday however I don't want to buy one until we decide if she will be staying with us. I did scrub the cage very well when we got her home but it is indeed rusty. I cannot find very much info on the effect of rust on birds. I am assuming that she has been in the enviroment for a very long time. The cage looks old as the hills. I don't even see cages like this anymore. I is gold, kind of brass looking and then rusty. Thanks in advance!
