I have a senior & special needs orange winged amazon that needs a new cage due to an injury and old age. the bird is older than i am. My parents got her in when they lived in Hawaii at least 5 years before i was born. Suzy (the parrot) is regularly seen by Vet specializing in Avian medicine. according to the vet, due to old age, she has developed arthritis. this was causing her to occasionally fall off her perch, usually while sleeping. the Vet had said to get a rope perch to make it easier for the bird to grip, which we did. things were working well, until one day i discovered the parrot had started to unravel a single section of the perch and had gotten one of her toes caught in the loose string to the point where she managed to sever the toe. previously years ago (when i was like 4 years old) on the same foot, my dad's Blue and Gold McCaw had bitten off part of one of her other toes. Suzy is now no longer able to climb the sides of her cage after her most recent injury, no matter how much she tries. despite her injuries and old age, she is an active bird and loves shredding up the small boxes we give her along with the regular shredding toys. we just need a smaller cage with one or two levels of ramps. I found the midwest deluxe critter nation, but my mom is concerned about the plastic parts, since suzy is an avid chewer. how sturdy is are the plastic parts in this cage? am i better off choosing a parrot cage? if so, which one would work??
