I need to get Rosie, my 30 year old foster tiel, a new cage. My problem is, it needs to be light enough that I can carry it up and down the stairs. He initially was just in my travel cage because I was told he had some gripping/mobility issues. (He does just fine, I think.) But he really doesn't like to come out of his cage very much. So the travel cage was too small. Now the routine is, during the day, all the birds hang out downstairs. At night, the tiels go upstairs and sleep in the bird room/office. Because Rosie doesn't like to come out often, that means I carry his cage up and down the stairs every day. I ordered him a cage online but it ended up being too heavy for me to carry. I have since moved Rosie into a cage that was donated to the rescue, but I have decided Rosie needs an even bigger cage. His current one is one of the ones shaped like a house, and I think he has too much trouble moving in it- although it's light enough for me to carry and has a platform door which I like so when he does come out, it's easy for him to come in and out. Does anyone have a cage they like? I hate to just order another one on-line and have it not work again. And I'm leaning not towards a flight cage because Rosie really likes to move up and down and be up high, and doesn't really move around horizontally much. And although I'd like a platform door and feeder doors (I realize I'm probably asking too much), the biggest thing really is that it's light enough that I can carry (and of course, gives him more room).
