Getting My Budgie to Accept a New Grooming Perch
Leslie writes,
Thank you so much for sending the Beach Walk Pacific Perch so promptly!
My budgie Omar is staring at this “new thing in my cage” but I’m sure he will soon be getting much use from it. It will also help me cut back on nail grooming appointments at the vet.
Dear Leslie
Great that you have it. Placement is important. It should not be used for sleeping at night.
It should be placed in front of the cage, mid-level or lower.
You can also put it by the food dishes. It will get used there a lot.
You want it to be where it will be used often and actively so by the food and water dishes or in the front while he dances on it waiting for you to open the door.
Catherine
I took your advice. I’ve placed the new Pedicure Perch below the door and between Omar’s feed cups.
He’s still glaring at it! By the way, there’s an absence of toys in the cage because my two weren’t interested in them at all and wouldn’t play with them.
