-> Hi Rick,
->
-> I haven't ever had a conversation with you so I'll introduce myself
-> and then give you the solution that I have for the same problem.  I
-> am a veterinarian, not avian but monkey.  I work at a primate center
-> in Louisiana.  I own a Blue and Gold Macaw, Moluccan, African Grey,
-> and breed Pacific Parrotlets.
->
-> My husband and I are sold on acrylic cages. That is how we solved the
-> problem.  On top of the constant cleaning and sweeping we have a
-> dachsund named Emily (we should have named her Hoover!!) that eats
-> anything she comes across and needless to say without being too
-> graphic - she was yacking up bird food on a daily basis.
->
-> All of our birds are in acrylic cages, even our breeding pairs.  We
-> are happy and so are they.  They get plenty of air (this is a common
-> criticism of these cages) through air holes in the top of the cages.
->  The macaw cage is 3' x 3' x 4' and sits on a wooden base.  Danny
-> and Pat Chauvin of Chauvin's Custom Cages makes these cages.  You
-> would have to talk to him about cost and shipping, etc.  His add has
-> been placed in previous issues of Bird Talk and he is well known in
-> my area.
-> His address and phone number:
->
-> Daniel & Pat Chauvin
-> 1409 Bayou Blue Road
-> Houma, LA  70364
->
-> (504) 876-7966
->
-> Good Luck!  Anita
 Thanks for the info I may check into that!!! I think i have seen what
you was talking about in Biurd Talk.. I have thought about using those
type cages but have not really looked into it much.. I moved Peanuts  food dish to the back of the cage and it has cut the mess more than
half.. he does not know what to think since when he throws it it goes in
the cage and not on the floor.. and he says UT OH less He is really
spioled badly.. I have 22 pairs of birds from Budgies to Quakers and
conures.My Pet birds are the Blue and Gold a Blue Front Amazon,Blue
Crown Conue And a Cockatiel.
