Thanks
I plan to buy a stand, any ideas how to secure it??? Thats what I was wondering...I can keep them seperate when I let the bird out...but when he is in his cage, the cats will be out...so I want to make sure they can't hurt the bird while he is in his cage.
I know ppl have birds and cats all over, but just curious how its done safely. If I get a bird, I need him to be part of the family and not just in his cage all the time, so I'm hoping to get it all figured out!
Hoping! LOL
