"Sparkle" and "Shine" get a new cage. African Grey babies, special needs

Sparkle and Shine are two Grey babies who's parents removed their feet and some of their wings. We had considered putting them down, but they are so sweet and super determined. They are not in any pain and get around quite well, so we decided to wait and see how they do. They will need special cage accommodations as well as other things down the road. This is just their first cage set up. It is a rabbit cage on a book case in my den. It is 36" long which will give them more room. They are about 6-7 weeks right now. The parents did the plucking as well and new feathers have already started to grow back in. I considered not posting this at all, because I have received rude comments in the past. I decided to post it because it may help other handicapped bird owners. Please be respectful, and if you don't have anything nice or constructive to say keep your comments to yourself.
