dont ship in uk so i will check uk site
ebay thanks for reminding me 53 days till santa comes shopping soon

 

OOOHHH time the to get looking for toys to spend countless money on!

 

lol i dont know what to get them but im still looking

 

very nice find! a cage that nice for $100 american is extremely good! especially no shipping! lucky you, even luckier tiel!

 

You are sooooo lucky! That's a great price, most of the time that is at least twice what you bought it for!

 

I've been posting that cage for everyone for the LONGEST time.. It seemed like everyone ignored the great price, what a shame.
Shes the first to actually buy it! lol.

 

Haha, it was a great idea, thanks! I couldnt have found one better.

 

I got Ducky's cage at Petsmart on sale for $100...It's a top wing 'parrot' cage...more like large tiel cage! It's pretty wide, 24x24, and it's 35 inches high. He has room for three levels of branches and toys. Callie's is smaller, about 24x24x18, but it's just temporary.

 

That's a nice 'tiel cage for Ducky; sad that they sell it as a parrot cage.

 

If you go into petstores and look you'd be surprised what is labeled as a cockatiel cage. I see cages "for cockatiels" with dimensions like 18"x14" or 17"x15".. Its no surprise to me why many people come onto this board with cages too small as many people tend to trust petstores..even though they are only in it to make a quick buck and many don't care too much about the animal welfare. Hazardous toys have been sold for a really long time.

 

Yep I must admit I wish I had held out for a bigger cage now... but you need a cage when you first get your tiel anyway... so you kind of have to buy what the petstores have, and tend to go by their word. That being said, Arnie really loves his cage... the front door folds down so he can hang out on it... plus he's always out, it's more like a bedroom than a cage. The only I thing I hate is putting him in it for 9 hours twice a week whilst I'm at work.

 

It can be tough to find good cages for decent prices, especially if you need one asap. The hardest thing for me has been finding awesome cages at great prices that are parrot cages and thus have bar spacing that's too wide...quite frustrating. 1/2" bars are the only way to go. One day I'll find something super big and just what I want, but for now we're all content.

 

Has anybody made a bird cage before?

 

I am on the way of making one.
Not much of a cage but more of a aviary.
I will make a thread and post pis through out the build

 

Alright, i will list everything i use.
It is going to be quite a big aviary, 3'wide, 6'long, 6'long.
