Switching Cages

when I got my girl from her previous owner (2 weeks ago!) she came with 2 cages, her day cage and her night cage.

Her day cage is beautiful and I really like the large door it has, she seems happy enough in it and it has a nice play area on top, but her night cage is a flight cage.

I was thinking of switching them to give her more room during the day. She would have more room to stretch and I can put a larger selection of perched and toys in it for her.

What are everyone’s thoughts on this? Should I switch or leave it alone? I want to do what is best for her but if swapping her cages would be more traumatic than anything then I’ll leave it.

I’d probably switch them, just because the night cage has a lot more horizontal space.

So I had switched around Niya’s day and night cages so she had more room, she seemed happy like that. But then I found a great cage on martlet place that’s huge and it was a great price!

I had been looking at getting her a 3rd cage so when we are having our in the basement she can be with us but doesn’t have to be on us or left alone upstairs.

We got the cage last night and I got it all scrubbed and assembled today! I love it and she has so much more room while we are at work.

And now her other cage can be the downstairs cage.

I LOVE this third cage! It should be the cage where she spends most of her time. Lucky birdie!
