Cage help needed pliz

[Shyld]

@WendyN what do you think about this one?

 

[Mizzely]

Agreed that the dual height cage is terrible. Every bird I've ever seen in one only uses the top part. So you're essentially only getting half of a cage for that price. Your bird couldn't even stretch its wings in that spot. It's natural for them to spend the most time in the highest part of the cage. Plus, think about the door placement and how you will clean and decorate. It's a very awkward design for you, too.

The second one is promising, but bar spacing is too large for a parrotlet.

 

[Shyld]

But okay for a caique?

 

[Mizzely]

Yes, it would accommodate a caique

 

[Shyld]

Good. Do you think its decent quality? Its not a known brand or anything...

 

[Mizzely]

It looks okay. Hard to tell from photos. Here's a thread about cages in Canada.

Where do my Fellow canadians shop for cages/supplies? | Avian Avenue Parrot Forum

 

[Shyld]

I saw it! ^^

 

[Shyld]

That one maybe?

 

[WendyN]

While the interior space is good, the roof of the cage does not offer added play space and will inhibit light from entering the top.
For a caique I would get something like this...
HQ Medium Playtop Bird Cage 32x23 - by BirdsComfort.com

...a large if you get 2 caiques..as long as the bar spacing is not too wide.

 

[Shyld]

That shop doesnt deliver in Canada... But 30" by 32" by 23" is big enough?

 

[TikiMyn]

That one maybe?

I love that one personally! You could add your Own playstand on the top

I have had Joey in that size cage when he comes downstairs. He seems comfortable. But i feel it is better for him to be in a larger cage when he has to be in there for more than 4 hours.

 

[Shyld]

There is also this one. The dimensions are 36” X 26” X 51”. Between this one that is higher and that other one that is wider (64"W x 21"D x 27"H) but not as deep, which one do you guys think?

 

[JosienBB]

If you want the double flight cage, better to buy it from Wayfair.ca: Tucker Murphy Pet Baxter Double Flight Bird Cage with Divider & Reviews | Wayfair.ca

If you buy from that American site, after the exchange rate, shipping and import duties, you're looking at a minimum of double the list price.

 

[WendyN]

Have to go out now.
While check back later

 

[Shyld]

Thanks so much @JosienBB ! Very helpful! I will order it from there if I chose it. What do you think about the higher one, would it be better for a caique? Is it better more width or more height? Im leaning towards width, cause they dont really fly upwars, but I could be wrong... And would the bar thickness of 2.5mm be appropriate? would they be able to bend it or break it? They have awfully sturdy and powerful beaks!

 

[Mizzely]

Width is better than height. They fly like airplanes, not helicopters

 

[Shyld]

And what about the thickness of the bars?

 

[Shyld]

Gid this is such a nightmare >.>

My friend had her caique in a flight cage for 8 years. She didn't have a problem with him messing with the bars.
