I actually tried something with my green cheek, he loved it so much that I bought one for my Quaker and my Senegal, and they all love it...I went to Petco looking for something for the green cheek because Bowie loves to sleep in the hood of my sweatshirt. I read all of these bad reviews about the huts, but then also about everything else as well, so I guess you'll find negative stuff about every product, it's all in what works for your bird's. I did read about one of the huts coming apart and a bird actually hanging itself on the thread, so that was out. Other than that I was open to ideas.
I ended up buying Bowie a ferret hammock, I think it's the 17" one. They had really small, then 12", then 16" or 17", I forget, but that's the one I got him. They are a silky, plastic material on one side and the softest, cosiest fur on the other side. I hung it up in a top corner of his cage with the fur on the inside. He immediately jumped in it and stuck his little head out, looked at me, and I swear he smiled at me! So I bought another one for my Quaker, and I just got another for my baby Senegal.
Every night when I say "night night, sleep sleep time" they all fly upstairs to their sleep cages in my bedroom and climb right into their hammocks. Once in a while they actually sleep in a bit in the morning and it's hard to get them to leave their hammocks!
They work for us, they're easy to wash, just throw them in the washing machine and then the dryer, and I've had Bowie's the longest at about a year and it's still like new. No fraying, no holes, no fur coming off. They come in different designs on the fur part (they are the Petco brand hammocks, they are in the ferret/guinea pig/hamster supplies section of Petco next to the vitamin supplements and the grooming/bath stuff). The other nice thing is they are very deep if you hang the 4 hooks close together on the top of the bird's cage, and even my Senegal can snuggle down in and be out of sight completely, which they all seem to like. And none of them have ever pooped inside their hammocks, surprisingly. I'm not a big Petco person at all, in fact I do buy some of my bird pellets/food/treats there because it's the only pet store within 2 hours of where I live (actually there's 2 Petcos within 30 minutes of me, and the closest privately owned pet store is 2 hours away. No PetSmarts within almost 3 hours, though I don't know which is better), but I will endorse their brand of small animal hammocks. They have all different sizes and designs to choose from, and most impressively they hold up wonderfully and the birds like them...that never happens!
