Wall Clinging

Postby kiwitheparakeet » Wed Mar 14, 2012 8:24 pm

Hey guys. Holly likes to cling onto walls. It's annoying at night. She even SLEEPS on the wall. She doesn't use any of the perches! I cant sleep at night because i have to hear the cage rattling sounds when she climbs on the wall. She has 3 perches and a giant wooden branch that cost $16, A Fleece hut, and she doesnt even use them! Does anybody recommend anything that i can do to STOP wall clinging? Please leave a comment! :cry:

My :greycockatiel: Shadow and :pied: hung on the walls of the cage to sleep for the first few month I had them. They came from a breeder who was very overcrowded. All I could figure out was that there was no perch space for them. It broke my heart to think of what they must have been through.
