Nerf walls? Sounds kind of like a padded cell. There are a few people
that come and go here that could use one of these.

I can see it now-  ceramic tile furniture, cabinetry and floors, soft foam
walls-  Do you think Home Despot carries Nerf wallpaper?

Not everyone can live in a perfect little world, with a perfect little
bird proof house, and perfect little children.  Let's not even talk
about the perfect little childrens perfect little friends.  In real life
wing clipping can be the difference between a living bird and a dead
one.

Some of us can.  I have a CAG, two***atiels, two lovebirds, four
canaries, four baby chicks, and a baby duck, all of whom are unclipped
and free to roam wherever they like in the house, on foot or by air.  So
far we've had only one tragedy, where the CAG killed a canary that he
caught in his cage.  Don't think he meant to kill it; they just
naturally bite at everything within reach.  For the most part, all the
birds coexist peacefully, and you have never seen such a happy bunch.

Only *one* tragedy so far? Doesn't sound like such a "perfect little
bird proof house" to me.
