Re: Holes in Clothes
Posted by Emily on 5/02/06

Hi Becky:
Birds naturally chew on the trees they land on and that is
just inbred in them. I just always put on a shirt that I know
isn't a good shirt. Also my little stinker loves to poop all
over my shirt so we have named them "poop shirts" lol. I
rescued my conure (a nanday) when she was four years old. She
had already been passed along to four different homes. The
last home the wife of the owner of her was going to kill her
with bug spray. I say that woman was a wicked witch. When
Curtygirl first saw me she came right onto my shoulder and
told me hello. We have not been apart since. That was 7
years ago. I have had to overcome a lot of the mistreatment
that others did to her. But I never loose my temper with her
even when she has drawn blood.
Becky just make sure you have enough toys in your birds cage
that they can chew on. My bird loves those little wooden
stars on rawhide ropes. She also loves those natural branches
that are made of that really hard wood with an attachment that
screw onto the side of the cage. Hope it helps.
