Unusual Bird Cages

Checking around because I will be guying a new cage soon I ran across this. Thought it was unusual looking

They are just going to poop on it anyway.

True but I thought it was cute.

I've seen those too! They have a whole line of different "houses". Obviously only appropriate for housing a single x-small bird in a cage like that, but still super cute! I wish the made them for the big boys I bet Kiwi would love to live in "Featherstone Manor" or somehitng of the like

Cute, but you know what they call plastic things in and around bird cages?

We call them CHEW TOYS! My two little termite rescue conures would have shredded those things in nothing flat...

I've seen that whole line too, they're really cute little cages. Probably only good for a single Budgie or Parrotlet who gets let out.

I USED TO love unusual shaped fish aquariums, cages, etc. but then would encounter cleaning and maintenance inconveniences because of the shape. Then I'd realize later why most people just have the boring "regular" shape lol!

True. All I could think of was how I'd get the seed out of the crevices around the doors and windows.

This is SO true! I once got it in my head it would be a fantastic idea to make this beautiful planter of very pricey super-realistic faux tropical plants to set next to Kiwi's cage to make him feel "more at home" and give him some greenery to look at that wasn't toxic if he happened to get his beak on it. Oh, he liked it alright! Fancied himself the "caretaker" of his little planter by DELIBERATELY "fertilizing" and "seeding" it I moved it out of the line of fire pretty quickly....

I'm not sure how difficult these cages would be (and hopefully whoever designed them thought to make them easy to clean and care for the resident), but Julie is right about why people have "boring" styles for animal habitats and areas. I've also seen some stunning wood bird cages before that look like (and quite literally are) high-end furniture rather than the plain-jane cages most people have. My first thought has always been to wonder if the birds housed in those are ever allowed out, and if so, that fancy woodworking isn't going to last long... Our animal companions just don't appreciate decorative things in the same way we humans do and all decorations do is create more work for us
