Post: Transition to a new Cage

Posted by MoxZ on 11/29/07

Hi all. I have bought a new cage for my baby boy budgie
(who is not especially social to anyone but me, and barely
to me)... I bought him a nice cage on a stand that turns
out is a cockatiel cage. It has horizontal bars instead of
the vertical parakeet cage bars like the cage he's in now.
It's a nice cage, more room for him, but I'm wondering if
there is some relevance of safety in the position of the
bars? Also, how do I transition him? He will let me hold
him, but he doesn't come out to play as my previous budgie
did...I don't want to just plop him in the new cage. That
might be traumatic!

I would be delighted with any answers (except rude ones
thank you)
