Hello. It's been a while. Sunshine was my baby who left me almost 3 years ago. It was too painful for me to visit cockatiel pages or forums for a long time. But now we are finally ready to welcome a new family member to our household in honor of Sunny. Dakota is 10 years old and happens to be the same mutation as Sunshine though their personalities seem very different. I believe it was fate that he is coming to us. We got a new cage and would like to make it happy and cozy for Dakota's arrival. This cage is bigger than what I am used to so I need advice about setup. I would love to include natural branches. I know most people avoid rope perches due to risks of foot/nails getting stuck. How should we arrange it? I'll send a pic of the cage and send me some ideas and best sites you like to shop at. Also there will be no way to hang toys or a swing from the top as the play stand drawer is the top. I would love to find a perch that has a hanging swing from it! Thanks for all of your help!
