some of you know that I took in my cousins female Jardine, Willow.
She is not tame with me, but was with my cousin.
I currently have her in our eating area, where she gets plenty of attention, but since we have had her, she likes to bite, and bite hard, she has remained in her cage for the past month and a half.
that is a LONG time for any bird to be in a cage, especially when she was use to being let out at her previous home. I feel so terrible, as I know she deserves soooo much more free time.
my question is, I have the option to put her in the bedroom where my pet birds are, and all receive daily free flight time.
one of my concerns is the possibility of my other birds climbing on Willows cage, god forbid I should have another accident
I can place a blanket over top, and I know my birds will quickly learn to stay away.
My biggest concern is Safari, and visa versa should Willow be out climbing on Safari's cage.
So far I've never had any toes bit severely, just warnings.
My other concern is if I let Willow out, and she doesn't go back in her cage on her own, I am hopeful she will step up on a perch so I can put her back in.
I just don't know what to do, there are so many factors involved here, my main concern is for her to get some out of cage time. I'm feeling terribly guilty as none of my birds are kept in cages constantly.
Even my breeders birds get some free flight time during the week.
with her being in the eating area, we have to put 3 dogs outside, and round up our four cats and tuck them away for her safety(this is when we first got her, then she started biting like crazy)
I just feel bad for her and looking for any solution at this point....
