Has anyone had bird spikes installed along the top of their cage and if so who installs them? Help!
Movement, flashing lights, noise all make birds uncomfortable.

Inexpensive idea that works well. You cut strips of mylar gift wrap-that silver plastic stuff. You put about 20 or so strips together making something like a pom pom girls what ever it is called. Any slight breeze will case it to flutter, flash light, make noise your bird will move out. OH-don't give him my address
