I've always wanted to get her the corner cage as it's large, good quality and just really neat in general. But I'm questioning if maybe I'd be better off getting the other cage.
First off Loli only uses the top half of the cage, no matter the cage (unless her food bowls are low, but she simply goes down to eat, and then quickly returns to usually her "favorite corner". )
My cockatiels have the 2nd cage and Loli just loves it. First chance she gets she flies into their cage. But I think she may still like the corner cage more. Theres no way to tell until I have it, but it's no doubt bigger.
The corner cage is over double the price, and honestly it's not even close to double the size. The bottom cage is 20"x30" about, while the corner cage is 30"x30" but not a full square, so some space is cut off. The corner cage does have a seed guard but frankly I'll probably remove it to save space. She literally full on throws 3/4ths of her food in random directions so there's no preventing a mess anyway. (Atleast not easily)
I'm going to guess that the corner cage is more durable but I can't say so for sure. Loli has never had issues with chewing on bars, even when I had her in a smaller cage with very weak bars for a week on vacation.
I do really want the corner cage, but I'm just not sure it's the smartest decision. If I get the 2nd cage I would also have the extra 200$ instead of 50$ extra to invest in other things like new toys, healthy pellets and replacement perches.
Currently they don't need any toys or perches so it's definitely no rush. I've spent around 80$ on toys for them recently, and they still have over half of them. I also spent 40$ on new perches (I buy them manzanita in bulk and hardware myself) so I'm stocked on perches for a while. My mother buys natural zupreem pellets and bulk seeds that she shares with me so I don't usually have to buy food, but if I want to upgrade their food I'd need to buy it myself.
What do you think, though?
