Please advise !
Reading one of the post it seem,s l may have bought the wrong type of cage for my new conure . I picked up a T stand hoping to train it to spend most of the day out of it,s cage . The cage l purched for it to sleep in at night is round . Should I exchange the cage for something differant ? It is a fair size , ( Only too sleep in at night ! )
Also can u explain Y a round cage is not as good or is it not as safe ?
Thank,s heapes ...

Possibly. They feel safer in a cage with corners because it gives them the feeling that they have somewhere to hide. In a round cage, there's nowhere to hide as all the sides are the same. I'm not sure if this is truly important in a sleep cage or not, you would definitely want to ensure that the cage is covered so they feel safer. Perhaps someone else has something to add or experience with a round sleep cage being OK or perhaps causing anxiety.

Hmmmm...personally, I'd stay away from a round cage altogether. Even if your bird is only in it for a short time each day, he/she needs to feel safe. Otherwise, you may have other issues. I think feeling safe and secure is the very first need all birds have. If they don't have that, you'll have problems... just my 2 cents worth though
