Ok, Hope this is posted in the right place. I know we all have different birds and routines but does anyone feel certain things should be placed in certain places in the cage?
For instance, I don't have a cuttle bone in Lady's cage instead I have a mineral rock. Every time I put a cuttle bone in her cage she tears it up within a day. I keep one in a sealed baggie and every week scrap some of it in her food. I keep the mineral rock on the back side of the cage near the top perch as she eats from her food dish from this perch.
Anyway, I like to rearrange Lady's cage almost weekly except for her bedding area. Now she doesn't have a huge cage and I find everything has a place but do you keep your cuttle bone or mineral rock nearest to your birds food dish? And if you keep some type of pruning toy where do you put it?
At the moment all of Lady's toys are on one side of the cage because it is easier for her to come out on her own from the other side of the cage where she has a perch next to rope that is hanging on the out side against the cage.
It seems to be best also due to her method of bathing. She prefers to bath from her water dish. If I have anything hanging close to it she could get hit with it in her excitement.
Do you always put the food and water in the same dish on the same side of the cage or do you switch it up?
