Uh, no fair! I want 75% off on all my stuff! Haha, that's a pretty good deal, you're lucky.

 

I'm jealous of all of your guys big flight cages! I wish I could get Hermes one right now. :|

 

This is Sullys cage.

Im honestly not sure if it is big enough to keep him in there permanently. I'm looking at getting him a bigger cage soon. I know he needs more toys for sure.

 

Cockatiels don't do well in round cages. An appropriate cage would be square and the minimum dimensions should be 18x18x18 inches. He also needs a variety of perches in there like natural wood and rope.

 

Curious as to why a tiel wouldn't do well in a round cage.

 

I've never had experience with one, but it is said that they don’t provide as much flight space as a square cage, can disorient the bird, and that they don’t provide a sense of security since there are no corners for the bird hang out in.

 

Question: Are Round Cages Really Bad for Birds?
Answer:
Round cages are not recommended for most bird species, for a variety of reasons.

The first reason that these cages can be bad news is because they can be detrimental to a parrot's psychological health. Birds are very intelligent creatures, but many have driven themselves crazy climbing around and around cylindrical cages, and feeling like they're never getting anywhere. Giving a bird an angular cage provides them with reference points to different locations in their territories -- thus helping them feel confident, safe, and secure.

Another reason to avoid round cages is because they are often awkward living spaces for a bird to inhabit. They very way that they are shaped causes many bird's feathers to be in constant contact with the cage bars, wearing them down and giving the bird a ragged appearance.

Round cages can also be difficult to maintain. Because most bird cages are now square or rectangular in shape, it can be hard to find certain accessories that will fit round cages -- like cuttlebone and millet holders, seed cups, and cage liners. For this reason, it may be easier on both you and your pet to opt for a square or rectangular cage. By doing so, you can provide your pet with a comfortable home, and provide yourself with a cage that is easy to keep clean and well stocked with fun accessories.

Hehehe, love it! Might be too big for one bird but uh....could always get another LOL!

 

Well this is the cage I got but hopefully within a year or less i can bump up to a bigger one. She seems very happy with this one. And she gets out a lot so it will suffice.

the first setup was when we were introducing them for a week,and the second is the new cage that they share now.

 

I don't have a really flash cage for mine, it's pretty small really I like it that it's easy to clean and easy to carry and I can just take the whole thing outside or in the car though.

Mine gets heaps of out time but if I had to cage him more I reckon I'd get him a bigger one

 

Ziggy's Crib!

Here is my Ziggy's cage! I think I'm going to upgrade soon because his tail seems to stick out of the cage a lot.. :wacko:

 

Got Nova's new cage

It's still not as big as I would like but its better than what he was in and will do until I can get what I really want. Also he took right to it and began being even more vocal.

Tons better than what he was in.

 

Krissi's new cage:

I picked it up for $50 off of craigslist. Gave it a good scrub and moved her into it today..it is so much more spacious than the cage she came with.

 

Hi, I have a cage that's 40 cm wide and long and it's 58 cms high, is this suitable for a cockatiel ( provided with lots of out of cage time ) thanks ; D

 

That is not large enough; it should be at least 46 cm (18 inches) on all sides..46 cm wide, 46 cm deep, 46 cm high.. this gives them room to spread their wings and turn around without hitting any part of their cage.

 

Oh ok lol the shop insisted that it was big enough for one cockatiel, do you know anywhere I can get a large enough cage at low cost? Thanks ; )

 

where are you located? in the us, craigslist almost always has used cages at really good prices.

 

i am in the uk.

 

This is Joes cage, he came with... It is 34x44x67 cm. For now I leave it for him, I added some more perches and toys. He was very shy when we inherited him, atm his cage is his castle, and he's got quite a lot out of cage time, goes back in when he feels like it.

We are looking into getting a bigger cage for him though but after moving house and after he eventually settled in the new environment.

Have a small budget so it's nothing special but I wanted the biggest I could afford!

Took this after we got it, still have to wash it and decorate it.

 

Watch that one carefully. I had that exact cage and my birds got too smart and learned to open the cage doors and hop right out. lol. I had to get a super sturdy one with different doors.

Yo Alex you'll make a good father/mother. Please get rid of the dowels and use natural hardwood perches. Dowels are bad bad bad for their feet lol. I'll tell u why tomorrrow. Too tired now off to bed.

Oh thanks for the advice, but I'm not actually using those perches or bowls. Lucky for me lots of bush around here so I can get as many eucalyptus branches and things as I like. My budgies love chewing all the bark off them.
