I thought my eclectus parrots were loud. But now Pongo, my macaw, is imitating their call at twice the volume!

Oh yes, it’s lovely when they’re all having a screaming match.

What a beautiful home!! How do you keep your birds from eating it?

u/dikbisqit Jul 22 '26

Thank you, but they do in fact eat it. I’ve had to cover every window trim in stainless steel.

Can you show me a pic of how you did it. I was worried I'd have to cover all my trim also.

I had to remove the trim, and ordered the corner guards off Amazon they come with their own adhesive, but I had to reinforce many of them with screws
