Thanks for the info!

I have him in a small travel cage right now but have decided it will be much easier for him to move around if I can get him back to his larger cage - he climbs very well when he can get to the horizontal bars - his larger cage has all horizontal bars...

I'm going online now to order some ladders and some platforms. I do have a "table top" perch - large, round, flat wood made from Cajeput wood. I also have a metal "corner platform perch" that has bars like the sides of a cage.

I thought I'd get some ladders too...

My Vet suggested taking some of the larger round perches and sanding them down so that they're flatter...I may try that too.

I'm not sure how to get him out of the cage - as you mentioned with your little quaker, he can't balance on my hand and he jumps off. I found out yesterday the one legged bird is faster than the two legged human!!!

Thanks again!

Donna
