That's the first cage i got when i got Cookie! It's a good, large cage. I would toss the dowel perches and go out and find some different size gum tree branches at a park or in your yard (if you're lucky). :D They're free and offer different widths and textures. If you want to leave some leaves on the branches that's fine too, just wash it all before putting it in the cage. Also, put branches from front to back rather than side to side, that way they can jump from perch to perch, or at least have to climb further. ;)
 
That is a big cage, like Bea said I would put some branches backto front, I also have one from side to side aswell! :D And a rope in one of the corners, and a branch that I bought from a shop that has 3 branches coming off it :p
 
Here's my new cage. Still needs some set up but I'm working on making my own perches.

The only think I don't like about it is how stiff the locks on the doors are. I can barely open them. I'm going to call FeatherFarm and see if they will send me new locks.
 
here are a couple of photos of the new birdroom, its not set up properly yet, as i havent moved much to the house yet (myself, my babies, and some clothes,toothbrush etc) and my bedroom is not set up at all, so i have a mattress on the floor on the other side of the room...

ok the budgies have a new cage,everything looks kinda small in these shots, but they are actually quite big the budgies are closed in because Scoundrel is in the room, and i was busy with the camera...
on top of the budgie cage is the cage i got with Scoundrel, its slightly bigger than the normal 'flight cage' i have sitting on top of it(of which i have 6-only 2 are in the birdroom)
then there is the old budgie cage, which now house Onyx&Tak and Kame and Comet... all the birds are let out in the morning, and sometimes i catch the budgies and put them away whyle i let Scoundrel and the tiels play unsupervised (but with me in the next room)

there are 2 budgies in this shot, Minnion and L, playing with the 'breed box toy'

Fang and Cinn now live in the lounge room, in a decent sized cage i got for free off a friend, and Scoundrel lives next to them in Cinns old cage...

its all really basic set ups at the moment... once i have things like a proper bed, and a fridge (living with an esky and ice) i will set the birds up a lot better...
 
Well it's done. My poor fool (hugs) is separated from his sister using this cage.

This is the cage miss slush is in. I made this choice cause my poor poor fool likes to pluck his sister and i want her back to the fluffy little girl she should be. That's a very old picture of the cage so the set up is a lot different. As of right now hugs still crashes with the non breeding budgies. This is still we order in another black cage. Once hugs own cage comes all 9 budgies (including babies if we get at lease 4) will get the double flight. This way all birds get lots of room. I'm still unsure how to go about setting up the room for all the birds but I'm sure i will find a way. It's all for the best.
