New cage - is it too full ?

[michellet]

Your cage looks great to me The only thing i would suggest is a few more perches or a ladder nearer to the bottom. When i got Missy my baby GCC a few weeks ago I found that she liked playing with foot toys at the bottom of the cage, and as she was only a baby and not a very confident climber she needed the lower perches to make her way back to the top of the cage. It didnt take long for her confidence to grow though, and now she can scale almost anything.
btw, I'm very jealous an eclectus is my dream bird

Thank you michellet, good idea.

I'll make sure to add one if need be. Although maybe it's not very visible from the picture, but the lower rope is pretty close to the bottom of the cage. Maybe I'll twist it a little more so it goes deeper in.

I've changed it a bit so the bottom part is filled also. Apparently Eclectus use the whole cage, even the bottom part.

So, here it is now :

i heard that senegals perfer being near the top of the cage than the bottom, i dont own one, possibly michael, natacha or another person with a senegal can answer

I like the new arrangement too Don't stress about it too much...once you see how your new baby uses the cage you'll have a better idea about what he/she prefers. For example, my gcc (very different to an eclectus, i know) wouldnt touch one of her toys when it was towards the bottom of her cage, but when i moved it to the top it became her favourite thing! And remember, you'll be taking things out for cleaning on a regular basis so things will get moved around. But I think it looks great at the moment

I'm sure about Senegals and other Pois, but the newcomer is an Eclectus. And Eclectus people have told me these babies like to use the whole space. I had no clue before they told me.

Yeah, you're right, I'll stop right now and just wait. Wait, wait wait...
