This cage was easy to put together. In fact, I did it twice... :eek:
I just wanted to get it up and done with so I didn't bother to see if the left and right panels needed to be specifically on a certain side or not (it did). I at least made sure it wasn't inside out!

I accidentally put it together so that 2 of the 3 bowls were behind the perch, and one was in front of it. Uh oh... Raven's bed branch goes in the upper left. I don't want him pooping in the bowl overnight! Ugh... I had no choice but to re-do it so that the two bowls were in front of the perch like they should be.

It's 2 inches smaller in width, and a playtop this time (which I wanted) instead of a dome, but it does make it smaller and more closed in. Still, it's way bigger than Raven even 'needs' really. It was an exceptionally good price (for some reason) I ordered it straight from King's Cages. They had many smaller cages which were more expensive than this one. Besides Raven is used to the size of his old cage, AND as some of you know, Raven's house is the bachelor pad where the guys go and hang out every night lol :D. All except for that old man who lives in the cage across the way :).

* It got too late, so I plan to move him in tomorrow. I think I'm going to like it, it's so much better quality than Griffin's A&E. I hope Raven loves it (and Griffin)! 3/4 bar spacing instead of 1 inch like the old cage. Hopefully foot toys won't fall through the grate now so easily. Also better for Griffin. Although his head is much too big to get caught in 1 inch, still it's more of a recommended size for Griffin. Why am a talking about Griffin anyway when it's Raven's new house?! Lol!! Well, you know he's the neighbor who comes over to your house everyday and won't leave, eats your food, plays with your stuff, etc. and has no clue that he's rude. I'm glad they're such good buddies though. I need to buy a nice perch too (the main long one that goes all the way across) but the dowel is okay for now.

When I get him moved in, I'll add the pics to this thread :)

I put a few familiar things in the new cage so they can get a little used to it tonight. The photo has bad color, but I thought it was cute. Here they are eating their snacks (note how Griffin holds his Nutriberry lol he always does that).

I forgot to say, the cage also comes with a toy hook that attaches in the middle of the playstand behind the ladder. It's actually a feature that I love, still I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it.

The ceiling in the area where the cage will go is low, and the toy hook might stick up too high. Raven and Griffin like to climb up to the top of Griffin's cage toy hook and "try" to peck at the popcorn ceiling which would be bad, but they can't reach it on Griffin's cage. This cage is taller. We'll see tomorrow if I can do it or not.

I love Kingscages! It looks very nice. If you were closer to the warehouse you could go and pick even cheaper cages up that they have opened at expos and can not sell at full price:D

It looks great, Julie! I'm glad you are happy with the quality. Poor Griffin already has a reputation as, "that neighbor", but he and Raven look right at home in the new place. I hope you get to use the toy hook. Really cute play top.

The second picture is precious, it looks like they're already settled! I'm always so amazed on how much expressions your birds have.

I like that Julie! What a roomy cage for Mr. Raven (and his little friend;)). They look like they aren't phased by Raven's new home in the least! Any special plans for the play-top?

That's amazing! So spacious and roomy for the two of them :) I love how quickly Griffin took over, and how he immediately makes himself right at home no matter where he goes. And haha! I love how he's holding his food

Haha, I never got into watching Friends for some reason, but I know what you mean ;). Griffin is definitely "that guy"!

Very nice new digs. Griffin sounds like Joey from "Friends"! LOL

Thanks so much EVERYONE for your kind comments :)!

Dance moves haha! The Rockettes! Now that you mention it, I can definitely see that lol.

April, I'll probably just put some toys on the playtop. I'm moving it to it's location today. It will be interesting, since ropes from the ceiling hang over that area where the playtop is. I don't think it will get in the way as long as I push the cage back far enough. Hopefully it will just make the playtop more interesting.
