So i'm having some difficulties chosing a cage!

I've got 4 tiels (and would like one or two more) and 2 budgies. Currently they all live in the same cage- though spend most of the day time outside of the cage, but they all still sit together.

I CURRENTLY have this

I'm wanting to know if I should get another one, or if I should get that double cage:

OR, has anybody used/seen or own this one? I'm wondering if the dividers come out.... so it'd be two long cages?

And then... there's this one...

The double cage is awesome, and I can have it be "one" cage, or "two". That's cool

The cage I have is nice, it's 1/2 the size of the double one. I could get another, and just remove a wall from each cage and zip them together... I think. Cheaper, for the same size as the double, minus the removable divider

The 2 stacked would be awesome, because it's pretty much the same size of the one I have, but I could have my other pet on the bottom. He's a Chinchilla. Or, I could have differen't birds in there. Or something.

Now, I really like the green 4 cage one, but personally think the compartments would be too small for my birds, unless the dividers between the neighboring cages came out. Then it would be neat. I could have my tiels up top together, and the budgies "downstairs" or whatever.


AHHHH.... Ideas?

The quadruple one would be able to work as just two cages, the vertical dividers would come out and make that possible. I really like the idea of getting that and using top for tiels, bottom for budgies or the other way around. That would give them lots of space!

If you go for the double flight cage, i wouldn't add any more birds because 4 tiels plus 2 budgies would fill it comfortably, more and it would get squishy. I have the double, but of the home made DIY variety. I went with buying two singles and zip tying them together. You'd need to buy some boards to zip tie to the stands so that you can actually put them together, and it does end up quite nice, but if i had the option i would prefer a shop bought double with the divider in the middle (they're not available in Australia). It's just easier and i think the divider is a very handy feature incase there are any problems at some stage.

I just couldnt find if "dividers" on the quad cage came off or not. I like that one. It doesn't come with the stand, but I could get around that. I've got a grandfather in law that would happily make me one with wheels (metal or wood).

I'm not worried too much about the birds being "squished" since I work nights. Their cage door is open from about 11am until I leave for work, just after 4pm. They each have an "assigned" spot to sleep in, and they're all asleep when I come home. And... (for those of you who remember) that black cage I had- well, I still have it, and if I did end up getting any more tiels, the budgies would probably move into that. I'm going to be pretty picky about getting another tiel though. I mean- it'll either be like a dump off from somebody, or (perferably) I'll find a breeder and get another pearled whiteface or pearled cinnimon whiteface. (one lighter than Martha) and/or a white one with dark eyes. I'm certianly not currently hunting for another bird.

You can see on the photo that the dividers definitely come out. There are handles on each one (like there are on the grates) to make it easier to slide them out.

The quadruple one looks good, also the dividers come out you can see on the photograph! Budgies bottom & tiels top (Lol BB & TT) :lol: That would definitely give them all enough space!
