Oh ok, thanks for both of your opinions. :)
I have already checked out the local pet shops for good deals, but there is not any. Basically they are quite pricey.

You may think I'm in a rush but I'd prefer to get the tiel home sooner rather than later due to taming. The younger the tiel, the easing the taming

Thanks Plukie. It is a lovely cage, but I would like a cage preferably on wheels because where I am planning to have the cage it fits perfectly. :)

I'll look that pet shop up now thanks :D
 
That last cage you posted on eBay looks like a good one, i've been looking at something similar myself.

While local might be more expensive, it is tons better because you can look over the product your buying and make sure it's in great condition. I had to send back two cages i bought off eBay cause they were in terrible condition, and birdieness had all the trouble with her cage recently too.

I was tempted to buy online because they look like good deals but by the time you add shipping on some of them it doesn't seem worth it, it took me awhile but I kept checking around and found some great cages locally it might be a little more money for some of them but I like the fact I can look at them, inspect them and take them right back if something is wrong with them ;)

I will take a trip up to a pet store in a few minutes when my parents are back, where I know they sell cages.

I phoned 2 local pet shops, I would have phoned more but I had to go to tennis at 5pm. Anyway the first one said that there lowest pricest cage was £89 (quite a good price for round here) which was 5ft long, and 2ft wide, he didn't mention depth but I will go and have a look anyway. The next one I called didn't have any in but she gave me a number for someone who does. Anyway I shall be calling much more tomorrow, I'll probably get it tomorrow after school. :)

Anyway as you may have noticed I am probably going to be paying that little extra money for buy it locally so I can actually know what I'm getting and have a good look at it.

It's better this way anyway. You can inspect the cage for any problems BEFORE you pay for it and there's no wait. I really hope you find something soon..If you get the cage tomorrow then when does the tiel come home?

I didn't have time to go into Exeter (biggest city near me) because I was riding. But i went up to a local pet store, they didn't really have much of a selection. Only smallish cages and one bigger cage for £100 but the bar spacing was much to wide.
