Pictures My new (used) Expandable Habitats cage

[gibsongrrrl]

He likes his boing, well he use to until he got the atom But I haven't tried them in a cage yet. I use to have a swing and an orb thing in his old cage but he prefers stable things in his cage. But I will look into getting a new boing made with ss to try. Thanks for the idea and pics!

You are welcome I wish weeble would use her atom. I got her one in sept and she is still terrified of it It is currently sitting in her closet

Do you have any idea how long that one is @vmashley03 ? Like if you measured it from one end to the other, uncoiled? I would love one of theirs but couldn't figure out the length uncoiled. The one I went with is a 96", but is still about 10" shy of reaching the cage bottom once coiled and I'd like one a little longer.

I have no idea how long it is uncoiled..but it is massive (I know that's like no help). I did take a photo of both boings side by side though for reference (I believe the uncoiled length of the one on the right is 106")

Here's a quick snap of what I mean. She was not in the mood to smile for the camera just now, lol. That cage is awesome, btw. I still can't believe what a great deal you got it for! View attachment 173990

This is how both boys cages are arranged too. The boing is the centerpiece, (I rotate sisal and cotton) and I arrange all other perches/toys from that. Neither one touches the bottom, they both actually have bells on them. Boris LOVES to hang from the bottom of his and swing and squeals....

I need to check those out since that's how I put a lot of Merlin's toys. However, Merlin and Sophie loved their IGAW toys so much that even Merlin had hers destroyed in a day. Sophie's lasted 10 minutes each Obviously those ladies make toys that REALLY appeal to birds, but I told them this could be an expensive habit

Pretty sure the vendors on her sprinkle magic fairy dust on their toys or something because Charlie is addicted!!! I was like Charlie you are very lucky I can support your lifestyle

Our Large Spring Swings are about 108" or maybe a bit more if you get the swivel. The Jumbo Spring Swings are 6 inches longer. That is if you stretch them out straight from end to end. Hope this helps.

I think a centerpiece boing is a good idea with such a big cage. It fills up a lot of volume and gives the bird access from the top to the bottom of the cage. A bendable rope perch running from one side in the front to the other side in the back would be another good addition to give access the front and back of the cage, plus you can put one end higher to give some height diversity as well.

It is an astoundingly nice cage, perfect for a grey.

 

[tastybeets]

How about a large boing so he can access all the perches easily?

Thanks for this advice, btw. I went out and got a boing and it really filled out Indiana's cage and made easier access to all the areas.

Finally got the shelf today, so here is the current set up.

Wow that's a crappy pic... Let me see if this is better

 

[MyAussieFriends]

He looks so tiny in it

 

[expressmailtome]

What a lucky grey! The cage looks great!

Yes, but he does go on every perch, yay! I was worried he would stick to one area so I spread out his food and treats. He doesn't go inside the hut yet though. He did follow my hand in there once. And he has fallen a couple times (startled) off the corner sandy perch, that's to wide for him to grip.
Having some fun
