Joshua's New Play Area

 Joshua has a new play zone.  He was so anxious about coming out of his cage that I decided to install a play area directly above him.  Yes, he was intimidated by the apparatus at first.  But within two days, he was climbing around like a pro. He would hang and flap his wings and even lay on his back as he attacked the hanging bell toy in the center of the Medium Atom.  Next to the Atom is a stretched out rope bungee so that he can easily get up to the Atom and back down.  He thoroughly enjoys this added activity and gets lots of exercise!  Playing up high seems to bolster their self esteem.  They have no sense of insecurity when they are higher up.  To get him back inside the cage, I simply place his food cup inside and wait patiently.  He eventually gets hungry and returns to his cage.
