See you are already tinkering with the idea. HMM you have a smaller space, NOW put life into those walls.

The most unnerving moment was letting my Javas go into free-flight. Like a mom with toddlers on the play ground I turned into a helicopter.

But in the end, they are doing fine and with no mishaps.

The most scarey part.........is opening the cage door. I took
lSheather
advice and just opened their cage doors , let the birds decide. When they flew out it was AMAZING!! And they have no urge to leave the room.

Babs you let your Java’s out of the cage and into the real world no cage or barriers just out into the world and waitress for return

I did this with my zeb female who I had since a chick and it was so nerv tacking howver she did a turn and flew back inside the house to her cage I did this a few times.

Then everyone on the forum warned me not to so I never did it again

I'd put some nests and branches on the walls, a birdbath in the middle. A feeding station beside the birdbath...then RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!

Then I would quietly wheel out the cages one by one. Thats how I did it in my office.

Then you can decorate it how you want. OMG so much work having to clean cages in my livingroom, than cleaning the space in the freeflight office.
