We have in the past put twigs as perches in the cage and Precious pecks and takes the bark off of the perches but then leaves them alone.

 

Lately (the past month) she pecks so much she pecks right through the wood - doesnt matter if we use twigs or dowling - she pecks and pecks until she works her way through it completely.

 

What in the world is she telling us?

 

She is very funny - she dances for us and is learning to sing on command vs her chatting.

 

Could her pecking mean she is bored?

 

:rofl:

 

Thanks, Kim

Hi, do you mean twigs or branches? Twigs are usually uncomfortable as they are too thin.

Actually Ratzy........budgies love all thicknesses of twigs and branches especially the thin ones...they bounce around on them and as well as that all thicknesses are what exercises a budgies feet :D

hens can be destructive when in breeding condition (and since we give them the best this is almost all the time)

Sorry about that Kaz..... I was thinking if there was no variety in perches it would irratate their feet.
