rearranging cage
I am planning on a through wipe down and cleaning this weekend sometime. Advise on rearranging cage, nests and plants. I have no breedings going on, and newly acquired two European goldfinches in the cage, so I didn't want to shake things up too much for everyone. Should I periodically rearrange anyhow, so I can let everyone start over building nests? I have zebras as well who will use anything and everything to pack into their house. Lol!

Re: rearranging cage
No specific tips on rearranging, but we WILL need to see pics of those new goldfinches!

I don't rearrange that often, but when I do, I move perches or change them out and add some greenery as my finches like to pull the greenery and most ends up on the floor! I only switch them if I'm trying to breed a certain pair or there is a problem with someone plucking or it's time for juvies to be on their own.

Re: rearranging cage
If you are doing a major reconstruction of plants and perches, it might be a good idea to put the finches into a temporary cage until you're done. When I try to do things like that, I inevitably let finches out, to fly around the house, and then have to herd them down the hallway into a bedroom to catch them again.
