I am a newbie here, and know very little about birds.  I have a question
about wooden cages.  My uncle built a great wooden cage as a gift to my
grandmother.  I recall her telling me that only one bird was suitable
for a wooden cage, that is it would not try to chew its way out.

Can anyone please help me with finding which bird this may be?

Thanks!

Wooden cages are not suitable to house any birds in. They cannot be
properly kept clean. Germs, mites and lice can hide in the joins.They cannot
be scrubbed properly.

A finch or something with a soft bill would be suitable for that cage.
Anything with a hooked bill, even a parakeet would destroy your cage. :)

Finch sounds familiar.  That may be what my grandmother had.

Thanks,

It wouldn't destroy the cage you are correct. How does one clean dirt and
poop which gets in the joins?
