Ziggy is a conure I've had since January. He is cage bound by his choice, we never close his door. His usual spot is sitting in the doorway. The farthest he comes out comfortably is an exterior perch fastened next to the door. He has ended up outside his cage by accident. If he is sitting on the perch and gets scared he sometimes flies off. I haven't forced him out or grabbed him but it hasn't made a difference yet.
The cage he came with is old, has a plastic base that is cracked in places and has a verticle door. It would make a good travel cage but is on a frame stand with handles to move not wheels. We ordered a new cage that will be here this week. His new cage is a little bigger and has a play top on it, it's food dishes are also different. I've read about changing cages and letting them explore them. Since he doesn't come out of his cage should I just put him in the new or should I still put it next to him to get used to. If anything is new or scary he runs and hides with his head hidden in his fleece toy. I just don't want to tramatize the poor little guy if I can avoid it.
