Star is the smartest little bird!

I think that the lock-thing is a great idea! I wish I would have thought of that instead of the little paperclip stunt I pulled.

I'm good at solving annoying pet things hehe

that's cute, but you would hate to have your bird actually get out and get hurt or die. put a lock or tie a twisty tie around it.

...put a lock or tie a twisty tie around it.

I heard twisty ties aren't reccomended... I'm unsure why, though.

Hmm...really? Thats what I would've suggested

[Chilli]

Hmm.... maybe I've gotten it confused with something else.....maybe I'm thinking about rat cages... that would make more sense.
I'll go try to find out which one it is!

[king2005]

you don't use twist ties as the ends are sharp & will cut a bird open or poke it in the eye. The lock as a weight is impossible for the bird to get out & its harmless to the bird

So I didn't have it confused!! I couldn't find the thread on a different forum that stated that, so thanks for clearing it up.

stick a cloths pin at the top of the door, that way she cant lift it. one of the biggest reasons I chose the cage I did for Taru is that it was the ONLY cage that did not have guillition style doors, the problem is that budgies lift the door, and they get it stuck on their necks.

I made this to show what I mean, the blue are the bars of the cage and the arched rectangle is the door, the pink dot is where your place the cloths pin
