Thanks, and yes -- they're named Lucy & Opie, after 2 of the most famous redheads in television sitcom history.

Re: Help! My bird's on speed.
Wow, what an adventure you're having! Lucy sounds like such a character. It's too bad your big door on the front doesn't have a smaller door inset, to give you access from the front without opening up all kinds of pathways to mischief for your girl. I do think it's cute that she approaches you. My finches never escape, even with the huge front doors open, because they're too busy trying to get away from me! I've had it wide open guiding big branches in and out, and not even an attempt at escape.
It's kind of sad that she might be missing her buddies. I hope she's continuing to settle down so as not to make you wish you were still just waiting for them in peace and quiet!

Thank you for the lessonDCbeachboy wrote:Thanks for the insight, everyone.
Hmmm....cleaning the cage is going to be tough. I'll need a Valium myself for that, just thinking of her escaping again. Yes, the cage bottom does slide out, and has a protective grate above the pan to prevent escapes. That's how I managed to clean the grate today without risking another episode. But I'm not following you on how this would help me clean the rest of the cage. (See photo here: http://www.birdscomfort.com/cage_loro_flight.html)
The cage interior is 30" long by 24" wide by 36" high, and has a built-in shelf beneath the cage. From the bottom, I'd only be able to reach a few inches inside. All the perches, food stations, etc. are well out of my reach unless I use the large 11" x 17" front door. I had only opened the door just a crack to replace a plate that wouldn't fit through the feeding station doors -- leaving only a tiny gap that she didn't hesitate one second to soar through. I haven't had the front door open since -- I'm ONLY using the feeding stations now, and only dishes that will fit through those doors. Lesson learned.
What do you think?
