I need advice for a new cage!

[Mavish]

OK well right now i have 1 female budgie, with pretty good living world cage. But i'm thinking about buy 1 more budgie. The thing is i want to buy a really good big cage that 2 budgies would be very comfortable in.

I'm willing to pay around 200-300 dollars. I was thinking about the vision 210 cages. Are they any good?

Could someone post links to any good cages? Thanks a bunch!

I absolutely hate those vision cages. They seem to be made to look attractive rather than be practical. A GREAT cage is something called a flight cage. They're 30" length x 18" height x 18" width and is great for up to 3-4 budgies. :)

You can find them on ebay, in pet stores and on loads of online shops. Here's a link to where i got the pic from: Flight Cages (http://www.birdandcage.com/flight.html) (scroll down until you find 2470 Breeding).

Thanks Bea!

Looks like a nice cage. And yeah the vision cages look very nice but i find theyre confusing and kind of small.

I'll probably get combo 2: Combo 1: Get a 2470 cage and a 4180 Stand at 10% off, only $91.99.

They're so cheap! My living world cage is smaller and cost me more $60 + tax.

So these are really good quality, good cages? Also can it be used for breeding?

Sure are, i know loads of people who have them and if i could find a place for it in the living room i would be getting one ASAP for Blinkie (and Ozzie if they're housed together). :)

I have 5 of the 2470s and am very pleased with them. (I've got so many different cages for different reasons! :-( They take up so much space.) My only complaint with the 2470 is that there is no seed guard around the lower part of the cage and, due to the design of the cage, i.e. the shallow pan, the seed hulls really fly OUT of the cage. Just a minor problem that requires, perhaps, a little more cleaning than others. Check on eBay. I bought mine there for a lot less than you would normally pay for them. They fold very flat and are easy to ship.

I just bought this cage on ebay about a month ago for my budgies ( I have 4), and they love it. It's big, but not to big by any means.

[Mavish]

hi nice pics great budgies !

[Mavish]

lol, what are you talking about?

[Bea]

I personally don't like that cage. While it may look huge all the space is in height. Budgies will hang up the top and all the space down the bottom will be wasted. That's why the flight cages are good as they are wide rather than tall. Budgies aren't helicopters. :P They fly across, not up. ;)

[Mavish]

yeah i get it, but they say that they ship free in continental US does that mean Canada too? will they ship to canada for extra money?

[Bea]

You should email the seller and find out.

[Amy]

Lol, you two are so funny!

Not to good with cage names and #'s but if you look on ebay they have lots.
