I have wrapped some of the metal bars on the top of Casper's cage (play area) with a variety of "string". Some is hemp (from the craft store), sisal, and jute. It makes it easier on his feet when sitting on the edge. Casper's favorites in decending order are sisal, hemp, and then jute. I anticipate I will have to change it out periodically because he likes to rub and wipe his bill on it I have also wrapped portions of other play things so that he has some variety. You can see an example here.See Casper's photo album!Elizabeth

Casper is a very handsome boy. Mitzi used to have a swing made of sisal which was really nice but she kept chewing through the fixings while sitting on it. She didn't learn that if she did that she would fall off! (Or maybe she did and was enjoying the thrill of never knowing exactly when it would break and she would be launched into mid air!)

That's a good idea. I've been wanting to spruce up Nikko's playtop to make it more enjoyable for him. Wrapping it up in sisal/etc. sounds like a good way to start. Casper is a cutie !

Whisper, Casper is a Timnah AG and you have a Congo AG, the size difference is normal. My Pete CAG) is dang near twice the size of my Andi (TAG). Having both allows me to observe the highly published difference between the species, but also has shown me the huge "grey area" (no pun intended) of the indiviuality of these parrots.
