    Advice on tiel pair who seem to have stopped bonding

    Hey sorry if this is a bit long winded! So I have a rescue tiel Mouse who I got back in November, she didn't come from the best situation and was stuck into a cage with two boys and was harassed constantly and also grabbed alot by her previous owner so was fearful of people.

    Cage setup advice?

    Hello! Is this cage setup okay for a young GCC? I'm getting my birb this weekend and I would like some reassurance/feedback on my setup for his cage! This is not the only area with toys (I have a whole other play area set up), so this is not going to be the only toys he gets. Would this setup be...

    Indoor aviary

    I was given the opportunity to get an indoor aviary. It needs to be deep cleaned and the bedding material removed but it's new after that. It is 6 feet tall and 4 foot length. I have a sun conure and I'm wondering if with the right things inside, can this be a better home for her then her cage...

    Using breakfast and dinner for foraging?

    Hello, I just got this idea now after I’ve just asked a question on another category so don’t mind me haha. I’m going to build a custom bird cage at some point and want to make it look and act as a conure’s natural habitat. I know that conures can be floor dwellers, picking seeds and bits of...

It's currently a storage room and where a wardrobe used to be is where I'll be putting this cage. Here are the measurements, but I think I'll...

    Pictures New Cage for Mickey

    Took all of an hour cleaning and reassembling the thing but it's good as new. He's been exploring it so far and he's been having a tough time getting around it. Ordered some perches and got him a few new toys to see how he'd like shredding. Also got a nest he liked sitting in before he topped it...

    Flimsy cage?

    Hey! I recently rescued a Quaker parrot from outside and got an old cage from a relative. It’s 30x18x54 in. I know length is better than width but It was better than keeping him in the carrier. I haven’t been able to find the owner and it’s been almost 3 weeks so I’m kinda keen on keeping him...

    Need cage suggestions!!

    You’d think the companies that cater to bird needs would know to make better cages…Right? Currently I have a 32x18x64(on stand) flight cage for Peep. It’s a decent sized cage but the width is just….awkward. Honestly makes it difficult to supply it with suitable toys and perches. I’m looking...

    What should I do?

    Hi! I recently purchased an expensive and large second hand Kings Cages cage for my African grey. After taking it home I saw that there are a few small rusty spots on it. What should I do to fix it?

    Cage Question

    Hello, I have a Pearly Conure, and since the day I got him he has had a very large cage, I purchased it from a local bird rescue. When I purchased it the owner of the place told me that its big enough that I could comfortably house 2 or 3 conures in it, the space that the birds have access to...

    Anyone here have this X-Large corner cage?

    Im thinking of getting this one, but wanted to check and see if anyone here has it, and if they like. I’ve been on the hunt for a big cage with good feeder doors, this is the best option I’ve found so far. :) This would be for two green cheek conures...

    Flight cage suggestions?

    I'm thinking about getting a lineolated parakeet and have been exploring cage sizes. I'd like to get a medium sized cage - ideally something they can fly around in a bit but not really big - but it's proving challenging to actually locate one. The size I was exploring is around 32x22 Plus the...

    plastic mesh for cage for budgerigars

    this is my old thread. Since that thread I decided to wait a bit, and decide some time latter because It wasn't handy, the parrots already had a pretty good cage. Some time ago I got an idea of using a plastic mesh (polythene) instead of metal wire mesh. The cage will be for two budgerigars...

    Stainless steel cages

    Hey, I’m new to this sitejust wondering if stainless steel cages are worth it? How long has yours lasted? where I am (Canada) they are double the price of a regular cage. And in general everything parrot related is hard to come by here. Everything stainless steel I’ve ever owned has rusted...

    Is this cage ok?

    My 7 year old African Grey desperately needed a new cage. I saw Gizmo the grey with this cage and the websites I saw said it was OK for Greys, so I assumed it was good enough for him. Fast forward to now, after purchasing, I’m convincing myself that it’s not appropriate. Here is the cage in...

    Bird Safe Mats?

    I’ve recently ordered a large outdoor cage for my budgies that will be kept indoors. The problem is that it doesn’t come with a bottom tray, so I’m going to have to find or make my own. I was wondering if anyone knows of any bird-safe material that I could use to cover the bottom with? Would a...
