Post: Help with new addition to the family

Posted by Sara R. on 8/10/06

Hi everyone!!! I have a cockatiel and I usually visit
that chatboard, but we have a new addition to our family
today. My boyfriend and I took in a Quaker today that is
being treated for plucking. He has to wear a collar and
has been staying in a big, clear, plastic bin while he has
the collar on. We will be giving him plenty of time
outside of this bin, but I guess the vet thinks it is
better to use this bin as his cage while he is in the
collar. We want to make things as comfortable as possible
for him when he is in the bin, and I was wondering if
anyone might have some experience with or ideas about
this . I am trying to situate perches on the bottom of
the bin, but am concerned about them not staying in place,
and also want to figure something out to avoid what we
call "poop foot" I don't want the poor little guy walking
around in poop. If anyone has ideas that might help make
Chewy(that's the cuties'name) more comfortable, they would
be much appreciated-thanks, Sara R.
