Charlie is more determined than I thought...

[Vampiric_Conure]

Charlie, my Peach Front conure, has learned to pull down perches I sometimes store on top of his cage and unscrew the wingnuts/disks on them. Little brat. I've started tightening the wingnuts more than I usually do. So far, he's not done it again, but he's a stubborn little snot, LOL! He's done it twice to me this week!

and the offender for picture tax:

Feel lucky you don't have a blue throat macaw, who often totally disassemble whole cages! I know of one where the owner had to WELD the cage together because the bird kept taking it apart!

It is so dependent on the individual bird. My B&G has zero interest in biting the bars of his SS cages or trying to dismantle stuff. I had no idea that double welding was even a thing until I started reading about it a number of years ago. I have the mellow version of the macaw.

I had to duct tape the legs of my cockatoos cage together because she would unscrew all the hex nuts, disassembling it. I continued to let her play with all the nuts and bolts (I'd screw them back together) as she enjoyed it and the cage would no longer be at risk of collapsing.
