I would like to know how I can get my male Timneh not to be too territorial around his cage cause he’s a real sweetheart and a mush when he’s not guarding his cage door.

He will be 7 in June.

 

Thank you.

Hi Barbara

 

Try putting a grooming perch on the inside of the cage door.

 

 

This allows the bird to be on the cage without being in the cage.

 

We use a grooming perch so the bird can do a little happy dance when getting out of the cage trimming the nails and possibly the beak.

 

Additional “door” perches can be introduced until you find the right set up.

I would need to see an image of the entire cage to better assess and make suggestions.

 

Happy holidays
