Hi! Today I cleaned the parakeet's cage. You can look at my Parakeet Care post to see the different parts. I did it differently this time than in the post. Now I do it by myself except my mom helps me put the top on an off and get the toys in. I also didn't do the soaking.
Anyway, this time I got out the old parakeet toys. I had a lot, and I realized I don't need to get them many toys for Christmas. Maybe just one natural wood perch. I read that rope is kind of dangerous because their claws can get caught, and the pink ring one they had before is getting frayed and pooped on, so I took that out. I put in a swing, a coconut, a ladder, a Ferris wheel, and some egg carted sections taped together I made a long time ago.
Also, the back panel of the cage was falling down and it's kind of done always. I think I didn't set it up right the first and only time I did when I got Winston. Or maybe it just came loose. But today my mom fixed it! Yay!
They were really scared when I was reaching in to change the toys and everything. I was worried they wouldn't trust me and my hand like they have been. But once I got everything in and good and I put them back on the dresser, I put the food, water, bathtub, and newspaper in like I do in the mornings, and they didn't run away very much, like usual!
Training update: The first step is standing near their cage. They are doing really well! They eat in front of me and go in the bathtub in front of me. When I change the food and water I go slow and tell them what I'm doing. Cobalt usually sits there or moves a few steps. It's great!
