ive been looking online for some decent priced cages and whatnot, since the only "bird stores" close to me are your big chains , unless i drive out toronto way, witch isnt always possible!
im trying to find a cage not crazy expensive
we have a cage already but if i could find another one, so i have have a daily cage in livingroom and a sleeping one.
not to mention, just to find toys, perches ect.
besides kijiji, amazon im kinda stumped!

What kind of bird do you want the cage for? What's your budget? Have you checked Wayfair.ca?

If you're looking for something under $600 for a goffins, it's probably better to look for used cages. Keep checking Kijiji, I sold an Avian Adventures Grande Playtop for $500 on there, and it's a pretty decent sized cage.

Was going to recommend the Avian Adventures Grande or Mediana dome top. I have a Mediana for my Goffin's. I don't know where you can order those from in Canada except perhaps Amazon. I've ordered from Wayfair (US) but I know they don't have the Avian Adventures cages any more.
Oliver's Garden is another resource for toys as well as boings, swings, platforms, climbing nets and more.

Kijiji was the one i used most. You can usually find something on there.
We did get 2 cages that were almost brand new from there.
There is also a store, near St Helens called Pet Emporium I believe. Let me get back to you.
I will check with hubby when he gets home to make sure I am giving you the correct name, but she has 2 rooms in the back FULL of cages for all sizes of birds.
I will post the name of the place later today. She has the stands , food, cages, everything. We ended up buying a table top stand AND a new cage for Frankie there.
Her prices were really good too!!!!

I am in the Niagara Region and got my cages at Big Al's in Hamilton. There is also Urban Zoo in Hamilton for supplies but they do keep birds in-store and let the house birds out so if you are concerned about "sterile" supplies it is maybe not for you. The good thing about both places is they have things for larger birds. You won't find that locally.

Here's another cage site. cagesnaomie.com

She sells off brands so the quality isn't as good. I've never purchased from her, but my friend has. It was an okay cage, nothing special. But they're a bit more affordable than most options out there.

I would recommend no smaller than 36"×28" for a goffins.

Check out The Market Place forum on AA - it lists all AA associated vendors and there are at least 3 that I know are in Canada (which might make shipping cheaper).
