Peach-Face Love Bird - 'Sam' (1990-2013)
So I have been doing some research the last couple of days into Felixs' obsession with his feet. I have spoken to some people who have said they keep their birds in front of a window so they have something to look at & be interested in during the day when they are not home & I have met some people who say it is not a good idea to keep them in Front of windows b/c of dratfs, sun exposure, and wild birds are seen as predators by our feathered companions...
I think Felix is bored in his cage and this is why he is always playing with his feet...although someone told me it is because he is molting.... I have an assortment of toys and foraging toys and foot toys in his cage but still he nibbles on his feet constantly...any thoughts on Felixs' foot obsession & if boredom in his cage may be the cause? If so, is moving the cage by a window a good idea? If not, any suggestions on cage activities conures tend to enjoy engaging in?
To be honest, Felix always chews & nibbles on his feet. Even when he is out of his cage. He has tonnes of different toys to play with but he chooses his feet & I am worried he is going to chew, nibble, and lick them so much they may become raw & develop sores....any input would be greatly appreciated.....
