   Cut about 16-20 twigs for a small cage. , The hole should be 2cm away from the ends of the twig. , Take a look at the bridge and if you feel like it isn't big enough for your cage, cut up some more 10cm twigs. , Do this to all twigs so they're all joined. , Make sure you leave enough string so you can be able to tie it to the cage. ,, The bird will need at least a day to get use to the bridge and then it will surely explore and play on it.
