no perches don't have to go the entire length or width of the cage
most of my cages have one that goes the entire width (from right to left) Then has some shorter ones that go at angles in corners for the ones Who like a "window" seat I have a few birds who would hang off the side of the cage by their beak to look out the window - so i took some shorter perches I had and put them in at a angle and gave them a corner seat so they'd be more comfy looking out the window
I have had some of the calcium perches hanging from the roof of the cage for when they're playing on the top they'll climb all over it and hang off it
I don't recommend happy huts or their equivalent for female birds, they will eventually see it as a nest and start laying eggs. not just be territorial
however I have one female Quaker who does have one - she's 20 this year I've had her since 2008, She's laid a total of 3 eggs BEFORE i ever gave her a happy hut Paid no attention to any of them (one egg was laid the night I got her - lol) since she's had it she has not laid a single egg, she only sleeps in it, or sits on her swing and bashes it around (its all fabric soft and fuzzy she sees it as a toy more then anything) but since we got her a different cage Thursday she hasn't slept in it - which is odd for her she's my Quaker who doesn't mind change and just blows changes off lol
you can also use Natural Tree branches from Safe trees for their perches. Just make sure no pesticides were sprayed on them
I have a Lilac bush outside my bedroom window in my back yard - don't have to worry about car fumes since its in the back, I know it is never sprayed but i still wash the branches off any way - the wild birds and squirrels enjoy the lilac bush
here's a couple websites - for toxic/non toxic trees/plants etc.
Non-toxic for birds list and a list of things that are toxic for birds.

I had a website saved that listed all the safe flowers/plants the birds can eat - now i can't find it my Favorites is Full and in no order at all but if i find it i'll post it

Heather - I bought it at the local dollar store (I live in Canada), I assume they would sell them at any craft store as well.
She really likes the toy box, I fill it everyday and she has fun going through it and throwing things out

Mango is a beauty and I love the cage
Thank you! I will check at the dollar stores tomorrow! We also have a Hobby Lobby so I will check there if I can't find them at the dollar store. I bet my lovies will have a blast with one so THANKS AGAIN!Heather - I bought it at the local dollar store (I live in Canada), I assume they would sell them at any craft store as well.

I love the set up you have done a wonderful job with it.. The only thing I see i would take out or change is the pink clip as Im sure the paint on that is not safe for your birdies incase they chew on it and maybe the bucket as it looks painted if would change it to the wooden one or a ss one.... I really love the cage and all the toys. two thumbs up.. Hug's Barbie and Isis
