Thanks to both of you for your feedback. We have cement perches in both cages, and the Tiels seem happy to perch on them, but I don't think they do a whole lot for the nails.....of course, until today, I have never even thought about clipping their nails (and that's 3+ years for Roger and almost 3 years for Milly). There will definitely be no more "Happy Huts". I remember reading about the death of someone's bird on my bird board, years ago, and still never gave it a second thought, thinking it was a fluke thing.........now I won't question things of that sort again, and will ere to the side of caution, for sure!

Roger seems to be fine, now, thank goodness, although I did see him messing with his sweet, right foot, earlier. Now he has stopped. There was no blood or anything. He just seems to be a bit nippy and anxious, but I have to say, I don't blame him in the least!!! I think I can safely go back to work now. I was too scared before!
