So the cage I ordered finally came in today, so I decided to set it completely up in anticipation of my baby DYH. The only thing I plan on adding would be some more toys, especially some sherdable toys. I'm so excited he/she should be coming home within the next two weeks.
What do you guys think of it? Is there anything that I'm missing or y'all would recommend on add to it?

Hi Soaring, the cage looks great. Be sure the toys are positioned to allow room for your bird to flap its wings :)

Great cage! :)

If I may gently recommend you remove the dowels and replace them with natural hardwood perches, as they are much easier and more gentle on birdy's feet. :)

Also, I'd remove the 2X4 leading to the grate. My own Amazons don't use the bottom portion of their cages (much), unless they disassemble a big chunk of toy that lands on the grate, THEN they'll climb down there to play with it (on rare occasions).

Here is a photo of how my cage is set up for my DYH.

Hi JerseyWendy, how large is your cage? Does it sit on the ground, or it has a stand or shelf? Thanks! By the way, where did you get this cage and how much was it? :)

That particular cage is 40" wide X 30" deep. It came with my GW Macaw, but I would never put a GW in a cage that size, so my Sam occupies it.

Yes, it sits on the ground. This is where I got mine:
9004030 AE Cage Large Dome Top 40 x 30 Powder Coated - DOME TOP CAGES

My YN Amazon is in a smaller cage, this one:
9003628 AE Cage Dome Top 36 x 28 Powder Coated - DOME TOP CAGES
