Yellowhead Collareds in outdoor cage

Gsc Jun 25, 2012 10:02 PM

Here's a few quick pics of the CB Yellowhead Pair a friend recently sent me in their newly built outdoor cage. For cage pics go to the Chuckwalla forum (posted lots of pics). Here in Texas they are loving the heat!

Careful.... They're ready to bite! :} Beautiful animals in perfect cages! I'm a 1000 miles too far north.

I would be careful as I bet they could clear that wall with no problem.

I have been watching them Tom...they try but haven't been successful. The screen/wire top should hold them in if they did manage too. I never knew they could jump like they do- it really shocked me when they first tried.

If they do manage to jump that high, they could easily get out if it is chicken wire.

But man, those enclosures are nice! This past week has been perfect weather for chucks and collareds, low humidity and hotter than hades! lol

Dang, I'll have to remember that next time. Just the front is chicken wire- the rest is small bird netting.

Lesson learned I guess...

You could probably fix it super easy by replacing it with a hardware cloth grade that is too small for their heads to fit through, but big enough to let good sun through.

I bet they are happy out there, though! Mine get a lot out of just being by a window. I can imagine how good that enclosure must feel!

Gorgeous kids, but yes they will get right through that wire!

Awesome home though just make it collared proof

Those loonng back legs allow them to do more than just run upright! Sometimes I think they have springs in those legs.

That describes them for sure!
