Star is the smartest little bird!

Star, ALMOST opened the door of her cage today! It's the kind of door that you just pull up. Well, I saw her pulling it up and stopped her! How do I stop her from doing this? I would hate to come home and find her gone. Any suggestions?

My friend's budgie always tries that too, she's hyper at times.. Anyway you could put really strong tape on or get a new cage... I have a few more suggestions, let me know if you want to hear them!

Wow, she is quite the little Einstein!
I hear of alot of birds learning how to open that kind of cage. Norri's old cage had the same kind of doors, and since I knew Norri wouldn't chew on it, I used a bent paper clip (with the extra/point parts outside of the cage), and it kept it good and secure.
Now his cage has latches on it, so I don't have to worry.
I admit that I'm unsure if that is safe, and now that I think back, I don't think it was very wise of me. Though I do know Norri's personality, and he's not one to chew on things and such.
If I was you, I'd wait for someone else's reply, they're more reliable than I am!
Good luck.

get a lock that is too heavy for Star to lict.. attach it to the bar that slids up & down & Star will no longer to move it, as its too heavy

Thank you all! Norri, is an enstien to! I don't want to put tape as Star is a chewer. If I see her trying this agian I'm doing that.

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.
