One day Louy went down to the water to have a drink,

then he climbed along the cage to get to the food,

but half way through he got his claw stuck on one of

the cage doars and he couldnt leave.

The only way to free him was to lift the doar up.

even though this hurt him.

I'm sorry he was hurt, but how could we possibly keep them from climbing around the cage?

l agree , it's impossible to not let them climb around the cage , that's what they do to get around or they fly .

 

l'm sorry your louy got hurt .

They have to climb and clamber around their cages, it's a natural thing for them to do just like we walk and good exercise too! It's up to us, as budgie owners, to make sure they have a large enough and safe cage design, some models out there aren't all that great.

Sorry about your Louy. Since it pretty much is impossible to stop a budgie from climbing, nail clipping I think could prevent stuff like that.

P.s i have read in a book by Ernest h heart that u could put celaphane on the sides of the cage.

i agree, a nail clipping would probably prevent this

 

as to the celophane.... ???? what will you do when the bird injests this?

Why would you put cellophane up? If I were you, I would save up for a cage with a little different design if this happens frequently. If this is a one-time incident, I would keep an eye out for it happening again. How exactly did he get caught? What kind of doors does the cage have? Are his nails too long?

? Cellophane, we want to PROMOTE budgie exercise and freedom and not stifle it! As somebody suggested, it could be lethal if ingested but what is the point anyhow? Budgies need time out of the cage, a safe cage to live in/climb on to get their exercise and budgie time to play and mess around. Please reevaluate your current setup and see where improvements are needed to make your budgie (and you) happier.

Well the book was saying to put that on a show bird cage.

 

But you as an adult should know by now that some people

(like me because im a child) are not as smart at you

does not mean you have to be so rude.

Im a child and im more considerate then some of

you people! :

Yes Thats right at least he was suggesting something!!!

 

Go children

 

I am also a child!

Cages are designed to encourage climbing, to prevent this would be cruel because budgies climb naturally. A well designed cage won't have strange angles in the bars for toes to get stuck in making climbing safe. If you have a strangely shaped cage or round cage you could come up against problems where bars slant together.

Just my opinion, but reading all the posts, i wouldn't say anyone was rude

also just my opinion,

i think Phoebe was.

just my opinion.

Is it one of those cages with the doors that lift up - maybe it wasnt shut properly and he got his little foot jammed under it and maybe knocked it shut. Without seeing the cage I dont know. But if it was one of these doors I use pegs to clip them shut.
