I have questions about housing and can't seem to find a direct answer by googling. Frank is 4 weeks old now and has been living in a little cardboard box to simulate a nest. I know he should move into bigger housing when he opens his eyes (which should be any day now right??).
How many different sizes will he need as he grows? Like what is absolutely necessary? And what are the acceptable sizes?
We are trying to be economical and want to only purchase one cage. What is the smallest size that would be okay? There are a number of bird cages on craigslist but most of them seem too small? But then again, will he need a small one for a while because he could fall and hurt himself in a large one?
Argh! Help!
I just want to make a decision on this before he opens his eyes.
