Ok so I'm sort of seeing that my cage might not be best suited for my budgie billie

It doesn't really allow for the perches to be front to back. So after some advice I've been recommended the piano 5 cage and the piano 6 cage.

Which do people think. I'm not sure I can accommodate the '6' on my bed side table. And I'm only going to have one budgie I think so I'm swayed towards the '5'.
Cheers. Open to all comments.

Cagney & Bezukhov spent their quarantine in the older version of the cage. They also nip in & out of the current one. It does seem popular with the buds.

Thank you. I've now ordered the 5.
It's a good 20cm longer, and the perches will be front to back rather than the whole length so he will have a lot more play room.

Yeah the more I looked at him the more I thought about a new one.

Annoying as I was hoping to get billie in his bigger cage today.

Not sure though.. I'm sure it will arrive
