>>Hi everyone. I haven't posted on here in quite a

>>fall and had to have one of his legs partially
>>amputated as a result. He fractured the leg and the

>>was best to remove it. He has actually been doing
>>great since then. The only change that I notice is
>>that he doesn't seem to fly as far when I take him out
>>of his cage, but he is still very active.

>>Speaking of his cage, this is where my question comes
>>in. I just finished building him a big, beautiful cage
>>to live in. I would like to put a "tree" in his cage
>>for him to run around and climb on. I was thinking of
>>making this tree from various branches screwed

>>a recent storm. Is it ok to take wood from outside and
>>put it into a cage? Is there something I should do to
>>it first, or is it better to just go the hardware
>>store and get some two by fours? Or is there anything
>>else that you use as a sort of playground? Thanks :)* * * * * * We did the same thing years ago and Dennis shared the same info. He is the best sorce of good answers I know. I was wondering how old your Icarus is, I am so happy he is doing well. My fs Pepe fractured his leg but he was 10 yrs old. And did not make it. And can you share your pictures of your new cage. We are wanting to build another big cage too. We want a gazabo for outside but still need a big cage for inside. We are in OK now and the weather is too hot outside for them to be outside. And too cold at Chirismas. So we need both.
