A Bamboo Forest Inside A Cage

Rocky Peeks Thru Bamboo

 Today many of the larger parrots got to go outside to enjoy this gorgeous day.  The cockatiels were delighted to get a little outside brought inside.  I clipped some of the golden bamboo from behind the turtle pond and supplied the tiels with a wonderful enrichment.  They went right to work denuding the tender leaves from the stem.  Yes, it's messy but it's worth it to see how busy they were!  I hang the stems upside down and hook one of the top twigs through the cage bars.  This allows me to leave the bamboo in but I'm still able to pull the papers and clean the cage floor.  Which, by the way, is now carpeted with leaves!  Edible plants are an easy enrichment to offer.  Check on line for safe woods, plants, flowers, etc.
