    Greenwing macaws,Blue and Gold macaws,Calico macaws.Military macaws,Severe macaw,Hahns macaw,firey shouldered conures,Sun conures,Blue crowned conure,Blackwinged jardine,Greater jardine,Quakers,Congo african greys,Jenday conure,goldcapped conure and SI eclectus
    About an inch or two,depending on the box size.The most important thing is the bird is able to hold onto a perch as opposed to keeping the feet flat....which causes the legs to naturally spread and essentially develope incorrectly.

    I put a little of that Rubbermaid shelf liner in the breeder box with some cotton balls seems to work great on the babies as they grow! Gives them something to grip...

    It is in a roll and made of nonslip material tiny little holes . you line drawers or kitchen shelves with it and it can be cut with scissors to fit the area. You can find it at Kmart in the housewares!

    Is this it? http://www.amazon.com/Non-Skid-Cabin.../dp/B00IXYIWC8 I would be concerned that little toes would get caught in the weave.

    That's it but cheaper when called shelf liner at Kmart! I have had no problems with it . Helps them from getting splay legs, I suppose for the chicks it helps them get used to grasping with tiny feet....if you look at the latest pics I posted of the babies they are on it in the temp box I use while cleaning the breeder box...

    I will remember your hint. Thanks. So you are handling the babies with no problems. That is not the advice I got from Cedar Dave. There are different ways of doing breeding/raising babies I guess.

    When I clean the breeder box Rio is right there watching she does not seem to mind as long as she can see the babies.
