Question about a bird cage

[Tangle Elf]

We all start out a little overwhelmed. It's ok. You do the best you can one thing at a time. Will your dad give you permission to share your state? Maybe someone here can help you find a good deal on a cage. If you are able to return that one you might be able to get a larger cage for the same amount. I hope you stay. It's a good place to learn cost effective ways to make toys and hater perches.

I don't know what I was trying to type, not hater perches. I can't edit it from my phone.

Listen, please don't go! I have been here less than a year after I renewed my love for birds last summer. I made several mistakes. Not only did I make a mistake buying my first cage for my first Quaker but I bought four wrong cages before I realized I goofed. Now granted I am an adult but this would have been easier to correct if I had not made the mistake to begin with! I bought them all from Craigslist so I could not return them. The dangerous one I resold and replaced with the first one I could find that would work temporarily. I have seven birds and while I do not have them all in the cages I want them to be in yet they are all out of their cages most of the day ,have homemade toys and lots of attention. I am working on getting them all matching large cages.

The point is we do all start somewhere and we have to learn how to enrich their lives. I have four cockatiels and they live full happy lives. You will not regret finding things to make for your bird and ways to make him extra happy.
They just radiate happiness. Please stick around.

The first one is perfect!

I like the first one you linked How much do you want to spend? Maybe if you give us a price range we can help you look too.

Not the second one, too small! The first one sounds fantastic!!!

I have this one underneath--- but I think the first one you posted is even bigger

I have one very similar to the first one you linked to. You can also get it on Amazon: Amazon.com: Prevue Pet Products Wrought Iron Flight Cage with Stand F040 Black Bird Cage, 31-Inch by 20-1/2-Inch by 53-Inch: Pet Supplies
It would be a wonderful sized cage for a tiel!

 

[AzaleaMist]

The prevue (the first cage) is cheaper than an HQ usually.

 

[AzaleaMist]

It is also available at petco I think?

I would also read these links for cage interior ideas, they are stickied in green in "toys and cages bypass" subforum

As for the amazon and macaw living in tiny cages... that truly is unfortunate. An amazon won't even be able to stretch both wings in an 18x18.

WHO is allowing an Amazon in an 18x18 size cage???? WTF

The first one looks great! Here are two even cheaper options from eBay.

Large Bird Cage Cockatiel Sugar Glider Finch Parakeet 2484s White | eBay This one is pretty flimsy, but the size is good. Note that it does not have a built-in stand or a pull-out grate, but a tiel could live comfortably in it.

This one is better: New Large Bird Parrot Cockatiel Conure Cage 32LX20WX53H | eBay

What about these?

The second one is nice because of the free shipping. Is there any other cages you can think of? Make sure you concidered everything. Not just size.

With all costs plus shipping my maximum amount I would like to pay is $150

 

[GlassOnion]

The first one is nicer in looks but the second is bigger. Go for the second one!!

and in case you missed, look at this!

The second one you chose is perfect! Get it! https://m.hayneedle.com/index.cfm?id...tegory_id=1333

The a&e (single door) and the HQ (double doors) are better looking and stronger but the sera (or prevue) is taller and a good cage that many here have and it is cheaper. The doors could be better but it is good!

This one is better: New Large Bird Parrot Cockatiel Conure Cage 32LX20WX53H | eBay

Wonderful option in white! And even a tiny bit cheaper, and free shipping!

 

[AzaleaMist]

You can make toys easily and even perches if you can access safe wood and stainless steel.

Where should I sell my other cage? Is it possible to send it back to petsmart even though the box is still opened?
