New cage suggestions

[wolfcrazy64]

Hello everyone, I am thinking of getting a new cage/indoor aviary for my two birds as they are still not even close to being tame and I am worried about them being stuck in a cage all the time I'd like them to have some flight time. Anyway, the biggest cages I have found are these ones;

I personally like the Delfi one best, as its the biggest my birds currently live in a Hagen Medium cage.

Whats everyone else's thoughts?

Go for the biggest cage you, your budget and your space can cater for.

Please also bear in mind that birds tend not to fly vertically, so get a cage that is wider rather than taller to give them room to fly from one side to the other. I can totally recommend the Ferplast Piano 6, I have this type and have four budgies in it. They also get 'out' time.

We have the Ferplast 6 for four buds so they will have plenty of room if you choose this option

I have the Ferplast Piano 7, it is huge. Plenty of room for 2, 3 or 4 budgies.

Looks like it will be the ferplast then just need to find one relatively cheap now xD

I found this cage on gumtree and it's near where I live too the guy selling it only wants £20 for it =D bargain do you think it will be suitable for budgies?

The cages dimensions are 
height - 146cm with stand
width - 55cm
length - 85cm
he used to keep love birds in it

Are you handy with tools at all? My husband is making one for me. There are lots of things to be careful about (such as the wire can't have zinc in it and such), but Pinterest has some awesome ideas.

Cool was that cage formerly a wardrobe as we actually have a doorless one on the 1st floor landing I'll put some pics of it up. Also is that a tortoise I see in the lower part of it?

wardrobe to be converted into cage? I would have to take the middle bit out and the door off

Unfortunately the cage bars are too wide to house budgies in this particular cage I'm afraid

Budgies are supposed to have their cage bars at 1cm

ah that's a shame oh well I think I'll have a go at turning the unused wardrobe in the pics above in to a cage instead =)

actually forget the wardrobe I found this tv cabinet on gumtree for £20 its really close to me too

Hi! Yes, it IS a converted TV cabinet, but my I'm sorry for being unclear: my husband hasn't made me a cage yet. I got those from Pinterest by searching "DIY birdcage armoire". I do know, however, that the person who made it did so from a converted TV cabinet.  My husband is going to make one in the near future (or so he promises)!  I know the wire used on that converted TV cabinet is called "hardware cloth" here in the states.  I think it has another name in the UK.
