cage ideas

[dallas]

sorry, but can anyone give me an idea of a budgie cage please?
bert has one but i'd like to get him a new one --amazon is my regular haunt and they have nice ones. but what size for a single budgie?
i dont want anything too big but also i want him to have a bit of room. what is a cosy cage?

I have 2 of these from The Range they are really good for the price , and easy to clean . I replaced all the plastic perches for natural wood though and also I replaced the swings

You might like to try www.zooplus.co.uk as I have found them to be very good and reasonably priced. You have got one budgie now, but after the addiction has set in - are you going to consider to get any more? ;D You may want to consider this when buying a new cage!

Someone only asked about that cage last week (look on thread above this one called "Vision cage " they got replies that its a nightmare to clean and needs two to do it

Have a look on this thread for ideas on cage set-ups.

Also, keep your current small cage stored for emergencies, or for quarantine if you get another bird. It's handy to have a spare.

As for cages to buy, get the biggest one you can afford. If you find something you think may or may not be okay, post a link on here. We're happy to give you our thoughts.

Cages like this one in link below are the gold standard, in my opinion. Have a look, and work your way back from this ideal, depending on how much you can afford to spend.

Things to think about that make this cage the ideal. Wide, not tall. Plenty of room for them flit about and so you can fix perches so they don't poop in their food. Big door and side doors, so you can get in there and move perches and toys around, plus put newspaper linings in bottom over grate and clean it easily, with smaller side doors for easy feeding. Easily detached from stand so you can sit it on a sideboard or table. Sturdy so that it won't get knocked over.

I actually prefer the flat top ones rather than open top, so you can also put a play gym on the top. But that's just my preference.
