prison break

[kinfan621]

Just day 3 my BOBBY escaped from the cage just like prison break ,just lucky I have close all the door and windows before I went out, quite difficult to put him back to the cage as he doesn't listen to me ,I am happy to let him playing outside of the cage but I think he is a bit scared ,he non stop flying everywhere and everytime when I try to get close to him he will just flying away ,as he is not stable enough I just worry he will get hurt by accident, finally I need to used a towel to catch him and put him back to the cage

Yep, them Quakers are infamous for escapes! A wire cage is no match for them! Especially the ones with sliding food tray doors!

You may need elaborate "locks" or perhaps a new cage if prison-breaking continues! Many parrot species are Houdinis and amaze with cleverness.

Might try "C" clamps and tighten with pliers as needed. Pain in the butt for sure. I have used single strand stainless steel wire without insulation to block access to doors as needed. (purchased from fishing supply store)

You have to get creative and wake up early in the morning to defeat a willful parrot's escapism!

I don't know if these will stand up to Quakers but, just to prevent accidents, I clip all my movable food doors with these:

They also come in handy for attaching things (ie, lettuce, homemade pellet-chew sticks, etc) to cage walls, as well as adjusting the curtain-covers when needed. I keep a bunch of them in different sizes.
