Some of you might remember my debate in an earlier thread about whether a 40 inch cage is really all that much better than a 30 inch cage. After reading the posts I decided to go with the cardinal rule, “Bigger is Better” and instead purchased a 70x32x60 (inside) inch cage, and boy is it big!
The cage was surprisingly easy to put together and comes with a divider, so if for some reason I needed a smaller cage, I could dismantle half of it and still end up with a cage that’s 35” wide. I went to a fabric store and purchased some large sheets of vinyl that I stuck to the wall behind the cage with poster tape from Spencer’s; which I’m hoping will make cleaning easier. I also have some vinyl around the floor of the cage to catch what the seed-catcher misses.
I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new 10-year-old Eclectus on Saturday, and will post some photos once he’s settled in.
Here are some photos of my cage
