Having just had to add vet wrap and newspaper to deter Kobe and Bobbie from biting great chunks out of Chico's platform....
.... it got me wondering what sort of alterations everyone else has made to their homes either to protect their parrot(s) or to protect their home.
Here are some of mine:
Furry draft excluders to block the gap at the bottom of the sofa so Bobbie can't try to squeeze under there any longer. There are no cushions on said sofa because Bobbie tries to nest behind them. The sofa is also covered in a throw to protect it, as well as tea towels along the back and arms.
My bookcase is covered in a towel to stop Kobe from destroying my books...
The top of the shelving unit in the kitchen is also covered with a towel to deter Kobe from chewing the top...
A sheet of perspex (cut to size) covers the top of the fridge to stop Kobe from chewing the gasket/seal (there is not much of it left!). There's a tea towel over the top just because...
I made flyscreens for the upstairs windows...
And flyscreens for the French windows of the conservatory...
And a towel to protect the conservatory door from Bobbie..
There's a towel over my coat stand:
And I made cages out of chicken wire for the uplighters in my old house.
How have you protected your parrots or home?
