I'm curious if those of you who have moved your bird(s) into larger cages have had them change their sleeping spots once in the new cage?
When I moved the p'let, she spent the first few nights in her "old" spot (I put her sleeping perch with fleece thing on the side in the same type of position as in her old cage). But after that she switched to a wooden swing that was not in her old cage. After a month or so on the wooden swing, she moved to a rope swing (also was not in her old cage) and has preferred that ever since.
She will spend her days on her old sleeping perch snuggled into the fleece, so she obviously still likes it.
When I moved my linnie into his larger cage, he also spent the first night or two in his original sleeping spot: a fleece swing. But then he moved to a perch (that was not in his old cage) and has been there every night since (over a month now).
Has anyone else experienced this? A larger cage = more options for perches and such, so I guess they are saying that although they made do with what they had when they moved in with me, it's always better to have a choice!
