@Vice
Everyone on here says 18X18 is the smallest for a tiel. Your cage looks nice as long as it is aleast that size and gets a lot of outside the cage time, although the wider the better. By the way, your tiel is beautiful!!
 
Thanks everyone who posted nice comments about my cage. Yes, my cage is very spacious, not that they spend much time in it,Lol.
they are always outside.
so, Vice, if your tiel is outside a lot, your cage is just fine.:)
 
I have 3 cages and they hate being in it lol sitting on top of it or the curtains is better to them lol
 
Since I don't think I've posted photos of Hermes' cage on here in a while I thought I would post new photos I just took of it.
This is his cage/set-up; he is located in my art room which is basically the bird room, lol. Eventually I want to buy hanging swings, boings, orbiters, etc to hang from the roof in there. :D

I re-arranged his cage the other day and he seems to like it more! :)

He hasn't used his play stand yet (I just bought it a week ago) but it's been sitting beside his cage since then so hopefully he's used to it by now! I just put it on top today.

Hope you like! :D
 
I like it! Nice setup with some good essential stuff in there. Yeah, having a play stand can sometimes seem like having a whole new cage to a bird. My cockatiel didn't like getting onto hers until I enticed her by hanging up some millet spray. She hasn't fully adjusted to it but at least knows that it's safe, haha.

Thank-you! :D I think he needs more toys in there but I think it's good for now. :p
I would totally use millet to bribe Hermes onto the stand but currently I've run out of millet! I need to go pick some up. Maybe if I put his veggies in the dishes on the play stand that will entice him in. :rolleyes:
 
Yeah, whatever his favorite is will probably work. By the way, Hermes is such a cute name and your signature picture of him is priceless :)

For sure! Although he doesn't seem to care much for toys, which is why I don't have tons in there. I have heard him playing with his bell lately though so maybe I'll get him more!
Oh and thank-you very much! Most of my animals are named after some Mythological something or other, gods or goddesses and such. :)
 
Our new cage arrived, its huge!! Gonna take a while to get it dressed up and decide where to put food bowls etc, im so excited !!
I love it! I wish i could've gotten one myself! Glad i mentioned it to the forum. :) it was a very good price too :(
 
bjknight, Thanks for mentioning it on the forum, yes its awesome. I cant wait to put my 4 babies in it!! Whats even better was Petland closed down and everything was 75% off so i bought tons of toys ,swings, rope perches etc to fill it up !! On the website they say its grey but its actually a sand colour, really pretty !!
 
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.
