Hi Everyone,
I changed my Alex's cage a few months ago and almost immediately I noticed he was wearing a small, pale, spot right in the middle of his beak. I think its is because the cage bars have gone from 1 inch to 3/4 inch and when he's climbing about he's rubbing his enormous beak on the bar above! I love his cage and I'm really annoyed with myself for buying one that isn't right for him.
I can't tell if it is changing, it doesn't seem to have got bigger, but it is slightly flat when I look at it in profile.
Is my only option another cage? I was thinking of covering the inside in rope so he climbs that instead of the bars.
Any advice or other ideas welcome or should I just get another cage and put up with the disappointment and expense?
