I bought a Centurion 40 x 30 X 77 for Blu. We both love it (me & him). Centurionaviaries.com/cages

That looks great, but I guess I should have mentioned I'm leaning to a playtop, as our birds are out all day and I don't have room for separate stands. lol
Centurion has play tops too. Quality is great and lower cost than Avian Adventures. I looked at several different brands at bird fairs before picking mine. We had the cage before we got Blu from the breeder. Blu has his own room that was our sun room off our bedroom. He has 2 play stands for when he is out, which is most of the time during the day.

I don't like the thin powder coating on A&E. JMO.

I like Avian Adventures cages. I have one A&E and I like the AAs much better. I have a Loro, four Chiquitas and three Medianas. They are solid and easy to put together. The trays on the A&E, IMO, are flimsy and the bars appear to be thinner (lower gauge) than comparable AA cages.

Sounds good. I have an AA for my blue and gold, but was just wondering on A&E because of price difference. I will go AA most likely but any other brand input is welcome.

DONT buy a Silverado dome top: they're poorly made and can be dangerous.

Wayfair is having their Way Day sale today. Supposedly big savings on almost everything. No more Avian Adventures, though, but there are other cage brands available.

I definitely won't by Silverado. I hadvone and hated it so bad, I sold it. I'll check out wayfair, but pretty sure I'm getting the AA today.
I have a cage I love from "Palace Cages." They're custom made from a man named Paul Draper in New York. Not cheap, but very well made, and I had input on all features. Also, he was will to make some parts stainless (parts that take more abuse, like the grate, the swing-out feeder doors, etc.) while the rest is cold-rolled steel. He also the stainless bowls for me himself - very heavy duty. I'd buy from him again in a heart beat. His cages are beautiful and can be any size you want. Mine is 5x3.

Ok I have another baby question. What age should I introduce him to showers?

Sounds good. Will introduce him in the morning. He is so excited about flying, it is all he wants to do. My Scooby is such a sweety.

When Annie was going through that stage, flying was all she wanted to do. Don't be surprised or hurt if he becomes a bit aloof: he'll be focused on flight.
I have a male Greenwing and he's lot of fun. He's never bitten me and I've had him for more than 20 years. He was an adult when I got him. I don't know much about other macaws, but my experience with a Greenwing has been great.
