Good morning daily

[Newcastle George]

Dot, I took Fred, the lorikeet runner to the vet to have his claws trimmed this morning, it's going to cost me a fortone as they have to knock him out in order to do it. It needed doing as he wasn't able to grip his perch or ladder sufficiently and kept falling off.

At one stage I was involved in breeding & selling birds. (parrots, budgies etc)
Very important to have big fat perches so the tips of their claws actually dig into the perch.
I also had a perch wrapped in sand paper for birds to grind their beaks on & also help wear down their claws. (especially for old birds)

Morning all, yesterday I passed my driving test with flying colours, next one when I turn 89 in two years.

Bruce, the perches in the cage are 25mm diameter and roughened. I will give the sandpaper idea some thought.
