Is this a decent cage?

[Sasha2]

I found this on ebay.Its a Champion brand. The 32x30x65 playtop.
I need to stay below 175 because I want to buy two matching cages.
Size and color are important.I want white cages and small enough to wheel around

I cant get this link to work so maybe if you copy paste you can see the cage Im talking about.

it didnt show up, but I see the dimensions, not big enough for a big macaw if thats what you want to keep in it.
edited, check craigslist and ebayclassifieds for cages locally they are usually pretty cheap!

No not a macaw, for the conures(sun and greencheek)
It was on ebay I dont know why the link wouldnt work.
Just wondering if anyone had a Champion Brand.

 

[MarciaLove]

well its a good size then for them though I haven't heard of champion brand.

Overall Dimensions

32-1/5"W x 30-3/10"D x 86"H

Outside Dimensions

24-1/4"W x 22-1/4"D x 65"H

Inside Dimensions

23-3/4"W x 21-1/2"D x 35-1/2"H



It would be alright, but personally, I'd prefer to put a sun (if not green cheek, too) in a larger cage.... because, essentially, the cages are 24" x 22" of space inside.


Are flight cages out of the question?

I keep my two sun conures in this. It doesn't have a playtop but you can always buy a tabletop playstand and put it ontop?

I'm buying a second one soon for my budgie too.

I like the flight cages but the size puts me off.I like the birds right next to my recliner so I can let them out and talk to them etc(Im a couch potato so spend lots of time in my recliner)
If I get flight cages they would have to be across the room and wouldnt fit next to me.

The space next to my chair is about 50 inches and would fit two 24 inch cages perfectly.
And I could roll them around easily..Its a dilemma really.I mean for the price the flight cages are the better deal hands down.

I figured on taking seed catcher things off.I hate those things.And I find conures not that messy really.

I wouldnt put a sun conure in a cage only 24 inches wide or long its too small.

I had him in the double decker cage that is sitting empty on my porch as an outdoor cage.The each cage is 36 wide x24 deep x 24 tall. I had to keep it across the room.
Since Ive put him in the old cage that opens up at the top he has been coming out and sitting next to me on his own and getting much more social(still cant touch him though).Its 24 wide and deep.Buts it got a cracked pan and is old and ugly so was just a temporary fix.
I basically wanted to see how he would do in it.
The point being in a flight cage he doesnt get out near as much as in a smaller cage with a playtop or open up top. He just wont come out of the front opening cage.Plus I cant interact with him as much up that high(those cages are tall and im very short).If he gets up there I have to use a chair to get him down.

So now I need to make the decision.Big cage with not as much interaction or small cage with more time out and more being near me.
