Last night Rosie got her toenail stuck in her travel cage. Luckily hubby (her person) was home and I noticed immediately that she was stuck. She was doing her walking around the top of her travel cage which is in our bedroom and suddenly stopped and she began trying to yank her foot away but couldn't. The thing is, it was never meant to be a cage for Rosie, we recycled it from another bird that had past away about 10 years earlier. We thought it would make a good travel cage except that bird was about 1/2 of Rosie's size. She is usually perched on top of it during the day while we are in the office/bedroom working. Where her nail got caught was in the top trim of this cage that has some fancy braid like open looped decoration. The smaller bird probably wouldn't have encountered this issue since her feet were 1/2 the size of Rosie's. With a flashlight and a gentle push of an orange stick hubby was able to free Rosie's toe. Thankfully, as soon as Rosie's nail was free she went about her business and there was no blood or damage.
We are in search a new (non decorative travel cage for Rosie today)!
