As my aunt gifted me a cage her Senegal doesn't like for when I get a bird of my own this June, I've been able to set it up and get a feel for how things could go.
The cage is currently in the living room. Which is far enough way from the kitchen and any fumes from cookery. This room is upstairs with plenty of light, and is the most used room. So the bird wouldn't get lonely, as there's almost always someone around.
There is a door that would be a straight flight from the cage, but in all the years we had a budgie, we were very careful about her being inside before using it, and she never once got outside.
The only foreseeable problem is that the cage would need to be moved in the evening to my parents room, as lights, TV and other things would bother the bird. Their room would be quiet and dark at a more appropriate time for a solar schedule. The cage is on wheels, so moving it nightly wouldn't be an issue.
Does this sound like an okay set up for a parrot? Not too stressful?
