Post your cage set-ups!

I am currently in the process of setting up Harvey’s new cage. Trying to figure out a layout that maximises the space. Currently just two perches and an Oliver’s garden large cargo rope. Got plenty of gum branches to choose from, just deciding where and how to arrange them.

This is Lemon's Cage.

My office has officially gone to the birds! It is currently more of an aviary with my computers in it than a human’s office. All three are big players so we added lots of places to climb. They also enjoy flying back and forth across the room. Puk especially likes what we call “hot laps” from cage to cage.

Of course all of these things and today all 3 decide to perch on the shadow boxes with family memorabilia.

Your setup is amazing!! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that larger tree/branch in the first picture for the birdies to sit on? I'm looking to find one like that or even attempt to make it myself but I am by no means a crafty person

I got it in my backyard! I did a lot of googling and tree identification to make sure it was a safe wood. I cut it down to size and sprayed it down with some soapy water and left it to dry for a day. The stand is just a $30 Christmas tree stand from Amazon.

Sorry, I had thought I copied the birds real cage but I guess not.
This is the one I had copied to save to my idea board.
Here are the real cages!
I KNOW the cages is small, but the birds are happy and healthy in it and I change the cage layout and give them new toys literally every 3 days! ( I absolutely LOVE doing it, that’s why I do it so often) One day I might be able to get a flight cage but for now the birds are absolutely fine! They are also out of the cage a lot.
I am super diy-ish that is why almost all the toys are diy-ed and taped to the wall in spots.

So I have mini set ups in every room of the house now… lol because the birds do not get along I can’t have them playing on the top of the cage. Nothing I can do about that. But I have small spots everywhere so they have a place to go when they are sick of people.

Huge play-stands and otherwise are not viable in my home. But I think I have provided by pair with the best set up for them. Also its been a while so HIIII everyone!

The cage in question can be divided into four but each bird has one story. This cage is super easy to clean.

Looks fantastic!!

Just double check that toy in the second picture, with the three bobbins and balls on - the balls look shiny, like they are painted.

 

[Porter]

I noticed that too. Its a toy I never took a good look at and has never been in their cage before. It has since been removed.

Is this cage big enough for a cockatiel? Sorry the picture is so fuzzy.

It is best for cages to be wider than they are tall but it looks okay as long as you are going to get a bigger one sometime soon and your bird gets plenty of out time!
It would be best also to use stainless steel food/water bowls.

Thanks! I work at home so the cage is mainly going to be used for a sleep cage and when I have guests.

I posted Apollo the conure's cage awhile back, but now I also have a new quaker and have upgraded both of their cages within the past couple of weeks.

Quaker came with a corner cage, but I wanted to give him a bit more room so I ordered the new Borneo cage from exotic nutrition. It occurred to me that I might be able to attach the two to make a mega frankencage, so i ended up doing that. The dimensions of the cage sides aren't the same, so I came up with a solution by taking one of the panels off the corner cage, taking the feeder doors off the borneo, zip tying the two cages together, and using the feeder door openings as doorways between the two cages (so the sides don't need to be the same size, as long as the the corner cage is flush against the side of the borneo).

So then I figured why not upgrade Apollo's cage too? This was easier since he had a double critter nation, so I just needed to order another double cn and take a side panel off.

Filling up the extra space with more perches and toys is a work in progress, but that's what everything looks like now.

The two six foot long bird cages are now taking up a big chunk of my bedroom though. This is how I have them arranged in the room so that they both are able to look out the window and can get close-ish to one another and interact if they so choose (currently there's some sibling rivalry going on, but I'm hoping that over time they will warm up to one another).

Wow very cool setups! How do you like the Borneo cage? would you recommend it for a single green cheek conure?
I'm getting a new cage, and I was considering an upgrade from the A&E flight, but there are not a lot of options out there for larger flight cages that are constructed as nicely! Is it inconvenient having something so big? do you find that he uses all the space? I would expect the lower half of the cage to not be used often with most birds

Here is a video of my setup.

 

[Patioquail]

Just finished building my brand new Borneo cage V2 from exotic nutrition (almost still missing a box that should be here tomorrow) I have almost $200 worth of perches and toys in there and it’s still so empty but I’ve spent $900 on these birds in the last week alone so I have now money left.
First picture showing how big it is compared to one of my tiels

Hey there AA! Not sure if anyone remembers me, but thought I’d hop on here and update my setups. It’s been a few years and the flock has certainly expanded with some adopted additions.

Right now, I’ve my two pairs of bonded cockatiels and a pair of bonded parakeets in a DIY’ed double flight cage.

Additionally, I have my Sun conure Max in a 32x21x35 flight cage. Everyone gets along swimmingly and enjoy free-flight time 5-10 hours every day.

And for everyone’s introductions, if anyone’s curious! From oldest to youngest, my flock goes:
• Sammy, 11yo lutino male cockatiel.
• Mimi, 10yo pearl female, who Sam was adopted as a companion for two years ago; I’ve had Mimi since she was 12 weeks old.

•Max, 6yo female Sun Conure, adopted three years ago.

•Skyler, approx 5-6yo whiteface female cockatiel, former breeder bird I adopted two years ago after she was surrendered to my vet.
•Wolfgang, 2yo whiteface male, adopted from local parrot rescue as a companion for Skyler.

•Bluebell, 2yo blue opaline female parakeet, adopted from my local rescue.

•Bellamy, aprox 1-2yo blue opaline male English parakeet, adopted for Miss Bluebell.

And here’s their cage top play area!
They’re my spoiled babies. Any questions or suggestions, feel free to shoot them my way. Hope everyone has been good on the Avenue!
