Well, we just moved, and we were forced to downsize our bird cage. They DID have this:

And I loved it. They loved it, my honey loved it... but our apartment... didn't. We'dve had to remove the entire jam off the spare bedroom to get it through. We briefly toyed with the idea of cutting the cage in half and removing 2 inches from each bar... Eric knows how to weld, and he's pretty handy at it... but we decided it would be too much individual measuring. that's a LOT of bars to tack back together! lol

Instead i posted on Craigslist.org looking to trade or sell it. I got back with a lovely trade from a gal almost almost an hour away from me. She's got an african gray that she wanted to get a larger cage for! So here's what we got....

And in clockwise order, starting with the Litino...
Cousteau, Angel, Boomer, Birdie, Martha, Tally & Sammy

 

Sorry to hear that you had to downgrade. The new cage is pretty small for all of them. Also, I'm a bit worried about the open spaces at the bottom...not sure why it's like that or if it's because you decided to remove the grate and add hay. I think we mentioned to you that hay will be considered as breeding material and that's the last thing you need now since you had to downgrade. Hope you don't take it the wrong way but hopefully you decide to put the grate back in atleast. Also, add a few more perches..there doesn't look like much room for them to decide where they want to be.

 

Wow, I'm loving these cages.

I feel like my cages aren't big ENOUGH or fancy compared to everyone's.

 

Jackson's Home

 

We have matching cages. My girls have that cage too.

 

We just got settled in after the move, and i'm still unpacking. I discovered their other perches, just haven't added them all yet. There are 4 in the cage right now (one is very long, from the old cage) and a swing. I'll also be adding more toys, but we've still got packed boxes everywhere and all my toy supplies are kind of at the bottom of it. They do have 8 toys though right now. I'm just used to more.

There is no hay in the new cage. The dish in the other picture does have hay in it, but it's not left in there all the time. They like digging in it and chewing on it, so I see no harm in letting them play with it every now and then. But no, it's not in the cage all the time. It's just another one of their treats

The spaces on which cage? The green one? Because the space on the front (where the grate would be) isn't as big as it looks. But I"m guessing you're thinking of the HUGE one in the back? Yeah. It's pretty big. I did take the grate out. I hate cleaning it, and i see little purpose to it. Not like the grate keeps them away from poops. the poops stick to the grate! But that hole is backed with plexi-glass.

Cousteau & Sammy are still very much a pair, and we're still doing reading on the idea of giving them a box. I own a box, grandpa made one when I told him about the pair, but not to worry, as I've got my original cage still that I would put them into. But as of now, that's still on hold, and no nesting materials are in the cage.

 

Here they are in their new cage

They seem to really like it and they have tons of room to move around and play.

 

It's looking pretty bare atm, but here's Halley in his big boy cage.

Action shot!

 

Shiro's Permanent Cage

 

This is the latest picture of our cockatiel cage, the toys have been switched over since I took it though. :

 

Did yours come with that wooden perch?
I didn't get one with mine

it came with the top perch to open the top just ive had to buy comfy perches for it lol

plus proper wooden cockatiel screw in perches,
I still need to fill up the cage with more toys though!

 

Nice cages ..

 

Our new cage!

Here is a pic of Squiggles' and Gizmo's new cage. It took them a bit of time to get used to it and were very clumsy in the beginning, but they've got the hang of it now. I like this cage because all the bars are horizontal which makes it much easier for them to climb to where they want to go. I have since taken out the grid and put paper in the bottom (which I don't like - the grid, that is - because I'm always worried they'll break a leg or something), and they just love pottering around at the bottom, too.

This is them peeping out with the top open.

 

heres mine

 

I have the exact same cage.

 

Yea i no lol i had a thread asking help on what cage to get...remember? i updated that thread...but yea...my bird really freaks out with that colourfull rope thing...does anybody elses birds freak out with any new toys or rope things ect?

 

LOL that's right.. :blush:

He'll get used to it.. but mine weren't afraid of the rope, they get frightened of new toys that don't really interest them at first but I'll find later they've rip the new toys apart.

 

Yea....
i mean what i did now...in the picture i showed the rope gets him to his water....i replaced it and put a wood one for now...but the coloured thing is still inthere...i put it low so that he will get used to it...and btw..do your guys tiels just love staying out of the cage..i mean when i got tafe i leave at 730 am and get bak around 5 and i leave the cage door open and he will just stay out the cage mostly all dad(says my grandpa)...i dont think he likes being caged? how bout u guys?

 

Ive got this one below

Montana San Remo cost me £107 but well worth it

 

I have two of these. I love them.

 

Yep me too,
ive only got the one though

 

i am going to buy a montana cage too ! i mean i have seen the site (couldn't find a english nor french site) .... i love their cages ! pretty, big, spacious and cheap !

 

i saw a lot of wounderfull set ups so far .. and other not so wounderful :S ... but i was woundering, i know how to set up a budgie cage and my budgies are very happy (full of toys,spaces,perch of different size and shape and feel, treats hiding everywhere in the cage and playgym outside the cage with jungle like ropes hunging on top of their cage !!!

but for a cockatiel ... do they need a special kind of metal ? do they have a stronger beak? ... as for the hide out .. do they like tants as much as budgies ?

 

ZooPlus has Montana cages I think theres a French site too, ive seen the German one so I reckon there must be a french one

there pretty quick with the delivery and use DHL for delivery
since ive bought this cage my 2 Birds don't want to come out of it,
but they have to have a bath so I usually get bitten by Teallie the most and his bite is agony lol

btw get one of these Montana cages there great value and there easy to clean out everyday just wish I could find something for my living room floor now lmao!

 

Ps, Ive never kept any budgies ive been offered to re-home a African Grey Parrot
but im un-decided of it yet, btw there are certain cages you have to watch when buying like the coated ones,

How many birds are you having?
Just Remember Bigger is better cos it gives the bird(s)
the space they need to fly about and stretch!

 

Mine both came with two perches - one for across the middle, and the other one for the top, but the one for across the top doesn't fit - for either cage. They're too long, so I need to chop them to the right length.

 

im getting a cockatiel and two budgies ... or two cockatiel

 

The Montana San Remo cage is a good size for two tiels, but don't go any smaller than that for two. I also have four budgies in another San Remo. If you get a 'tiel and budgies, you'll need two cages, as budgies can be bullies. Mine definitely bully my 'tiels, despite the size difference, lol.

 

Thats abit odd then how I didn't get the bottom wooden perch,
the top one ive got fits across nicely it's abit of a rigmarole to put it up though but once it is both my birds are up there preening one another lol

 

Here is my Cage.
