I love seeing cages, especially of spoiled fids!

This is the thread I hunted for first, before i joined the board... so I thought it only fitting if I added Holly & Meena's cage to it too.

Its the HQ Flight 13221 (from birdscomfort.com) that a lot of other tiel owners have, in the bronze color.

(older setup)

(how it was this morning... I've already changed it AGAIN!)

This is what I started with when I first got Holly.... and what I immediately upgraded from because 15.5in deep is WAY too narrow & messed up Holly's tail... but I still have it as a backup. See how the end of her tail is all yucky though:

Thank you to EVERYONE that posted a pic in this thread.


ETA:
Meena hit 5mo & we figured out she was a HE... so I had to split them up. Bought 2 new A&E 702 cages which turned into a big fiasco over bar spacing; Sold the Flight cage; settled on two of these teardrops from Petco. 21x25. My fids seem happy, so I'm happy.

I really like that they both fit perfectly on the 4ft X 2ft adjustable height, folding table I found at Sams for only $30!

ALSO:
For anyone Considering the A&E 702 cage... I bought 2 of them that shipped directly from A&E.. the bar spacing along the top part is 7/8in wide; NOT suitable for tiels. It's also advertised as 18x22, but in actuality its 16x22. The front door is a freaking Nightmare to use too... I see this cage a suitable SLEEP cage for the smaller too's or something. Nothing else.
I still haven't received my refund either.

Overall cage:

 

i just got this same exact cage(last pic) for $60 It was advertised two inches bigger on each side but it is the same size u mentioned. I dont mind. I paid half as much as if i would pay online somewhere. Th only downside is the stand. I wish it was a feet or two smaller. With the stand it make it soo tall. Oh well.

Ill be keeping up to two tiels in there but for right now only one.

 

Here is my cage for my six cockatiels. I took two Montana Villa Casa II (are those sold in US?) and bonded them together to get more space for my birdies:

Above the cage is plenty of room for their playground, which is changed from time to time.

 

I think Montana Cages are available in America but im unsure about Australia!
I recieved a Replacement cage from Germany via ZooPlus.co.uk
cos the castor broke, it arrived so quick and the other one was collected so fast!

I really love Montana Cages there so safe for the birds non of that Coated killer stuff on them and the stainless bowls are made safe too!

like what you have done with your cages,
birdy mansion now LOL

 

Uki's New Cage

I finally got sick of the old cage because it messed up Uki's tail feathers too much. I just purchased a new cage for her the other day from a local pet store, its shaped like a two storey house complete with an attic and comes with a solid wooden stand. I got a stand that was wider than the cage so her playground can be set up beside it. (Spoilt Bird). It also comes with a new set of about seven perspex toys and wooden perches and ladders. . I'm pretty sure she'll be happy with it.

I'll post photos up soon.

 

This is Mr Cheeks' cage.. he did have one alot smaller until about 2 months ago when I upgraded to this one It cost me an absolute fortune, but he seems so happy in it. Very much worth the money when you have a happy bird!

 

This is my 2 tiels cage, Dudley and Niki.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/Hy_Dreams/July1709016.jpg

Before I got Niki, Dudley shared this cage with 2 budgies and a parrotlet. Now it just houses the tiels and the others have their own cages.

 

You all have such nice cages! I'll have to post pictures of my cage soon. I really want to get them a new one--it's so old and gross!

 

This is my newest set up since ally moved out. I got left with all the budgies of course. Budgies own the double flight, Can't really see it but the tiels have a single like the double flight and then there is skittles cage.

 

Very Snazzy and a birdy room too!
are the cages Montana ones?

 

Wow, you're cages all look great! Well, the ones I saw did at least - i didn't go through all the 48 pages lol

This is Mowgli's cage:

The birds all have separate cages - Mowgli is much more of a people's bird than a bird's bird so I don't think she'd like to share her cage.

 

Very nice Birdieness What is that one cage that your tiel is on, how big is it and what is the bar spacing?

 

it is a HQ copy Cat cage. 1/2" bar spacing. Great for many birds. None of my cages g above 5/8" and i'm not even sure if thats the size on skittles cage. Hard to see in that picture but this is a better picture. Chester and hugs share it but they don't always get along so i sometimes stick hugs in with the budgies as he loves them.

Very Snazzy and a birdy room too!
are the cages Montana ones?

The blue double flight is a HQ cage, The single flight is a cppy Cat HQ and Skittles cage i'm not really sure. Its from pet cetera which is now closing down and had pet cetera as a lable on the box. Loves skittles cage though.

 

They look alot like Montana cages I just had a look at somemore on a American Site,
maybe they are Montana cages with a different name?

very nice btw

what cages can folks buy in Australia which brands?

 

Thats a shame Spike when did you order it?
it's a shame that www.zooplus.co.uk wont ship to you peeps across there,
there dead quick and have very good Customer service I had my Montana Cage for 2 months approx and it fell to bits and they replaced it in a nick of time

 

Thats a shame Spike when did you order it?

I did not get to order it yet. The store said they would be in soon and when I called they said it was going to be a few more months. So it should be in by September but it has been a long wait it was suppose to be for Spikes 2nd bday on May first. Iam not going to be a happy camper if it is not in by Sept. Thanks for the links but Iam not in the States so I think shipping might be a bit expensive.

 

These Ship to USA http://www.24parrot.com/ so many people keep recommending these to me I haven't tried them yet love ZooPlus too badley there cheap and cheerful

 

heres mine , well its not a tiel cage since i dont own one but heres the budgies
the set up is changed once a day to prevent boardum(sp?) haha

 

Aww they look like pampered Budgies lovin yer cage
you should get a Cockatiel or 2 next

 

thanks Kerry!
yes that is the plan i got a name already picked out hahaha and of course the cage

 

haha well I hope to see pics of your new arrival pretty soon Stacey have a nice evening / afternoon

 

My cockatiel and budgie cages. The white cage on the left is the tiel cage. I have two in there.

 

This is little Cocky in his cage. I sometimes worry the cage might be too small (especially because it did and should soon house a second bird). I don't like having mirrors in the cage, but the little ones seem to do no harm and have a bell at the bottom, and the large one is in there as I thought it might be a little comforting.

There is meant to be a natural perch in there but the apple wood branch I have has too many sharp bits (my brother's borrowed my hacksaw so I can't take them off yet), and I've found a perfect little branch outside but I want to find out what it is and clean it thoroughly before I put it in.

What I'd really like to do is take a bookcase I have and get some well-spaced horizontal wire I can put around it and build my own cage. A cheap alternative to buying a big cage, plus lots of platforms for toys and lots of space to have fun in.

 

Emi, I would see if you could get a bigger cage when you get another tiel You will need to have the new tiel in another cage for quarantine anyway http://www.birdchannel.com/images/a...om/images/articles/bird-magazine-exclusives/2009-april/quarantine-checklist.pdf Also is there a cup missing? I see a square space, I would cover it up if you have not already. As for an apple wood perch I always thought it was not a good wood for perches but then I have seen them for chew toys for rabbits ect.

 

Yeah it's an empty space which confuses me. It looks like it was previously used but there was nothing that went with it when I was given it. For the moment it's alright because my bird's cagebound and wouldn't dare go near a gap like that, but for a new bird I'd need to find something. I've tried with whatever various objects I can find but none of them really work. (I guess I could always put the food tray over it but right now I think that'll just confuse my bird who's already been through enough the past few weeks)

I was hoping it wouldn't be too small as I'm intending for there to be lots of outside time. A few hours every day at least.

 

If you can build another cage a bit bigger then the cage you have now, take the side off the current cage and join the other cage onto it, it'll be big enough for two.

 

If you have a tupperware/gladware/plastic container of some kind you could cut it up into a piece big enough to cover the hole... punch holes in each corner & tie it on to the cage to cover the hole.

Thats only a temp fix though.

 

@ Emi,

your cage looks like the one I had but mine has a Stand!
the space which you say is for Feeders there ones that attach to the cage outside it!

I wouldn't recommend adding another bird in that cage it is too small I had to put my both my birds in it whilst I was awaiting on a replacement montana cage which took a week, I really recommend that you invest in a bigger cage if your planning on getting a second Tiel

The photo is of my Bird Teallie he was given to me in that cage like yours and was always up and down the bars like he was telling me to get him out of there lol

 

Here's some of mine, in their neonate stages They've changed a bit and birds have been swapped around a little. The outdoor cage is now in the bird room, we had to remove the door AND frame to haul it in, lol. My husband built it.

 

Thought I would share with you pics of my fids cages, this weekend I completely redecorated and made some new perches and bought some ladders. I think it looks pretty good, I would be happy if I was a tiel! They seem to like it a lot better than their last set up, the are getting around a lot more then they did! It looks better in real life then the pictures show, I'm not overly good at capturing images.

This is Leo's fav perch already, you can see all the bark he's started chewing off!

Next to the budgies cage

This is my fat budgies 'diet cage!' I am introducing captive foraging and controlled portion sizes to make them work for their food, along side 2 exercise sessions per day! Bobbie the white one wants out!

Just an awww pic I took of Leo while I was photographing their cage!

Yay! Foraging is great for your birds. IMO it's the best thing you can teach them. The cages look great. I love all the natural perches you've got.

 

What awesome cages I too would be very impressed if I were one of your birds!
