New and struggling with cage

[dink90]

Hi, I've been given a cage which I'm hoping is suitable for a budgie. The only issue so far is it hasn't got the bowls which attach to the side. I've been searching online for them but there are so many and I don't want to buy the wrong ones and be left with any gaps. Does anyone know where I could get replacement bowls please? I can't work out how to attach a picture yet.. Thank you.

I worked out how to upload a picture. Please ignore what's inside I haven't started that yet. The 2 holes on the side are what I'm trying to find bowls for. Thank you

Until you can find a bowl replacement tape the holes completely around so that the tape is sticking to itself and no sticky part is showing. Use bowls like the one I linked to place them anywhere you want. Idk a bowl that can fill that big of a gap though they usually hang from the hole and have a door that comes down to cover it.

Okay thank you. I did wonder about blocking the holes and buying other bowls but wasn't sure how to block them without a chance of harming the bird, thankfully we don't have him/her yet. I didn't want to until everything was perfect.

If it were me, I’d ditch that cage and get something a lot bigger, without a dome roof line, no unnecessary holes, and not with a detachable base.

This could be used as a hospital cage, if you got something like Perspex to fill the holes, drill some holes and cable tie it on. The detachable base makes it unsuitable as a travel cage as these things have a bad habit of falling off at the wrong time and letting a pet bird escape.

I so agree with Hezz. You can do much better, cage-wise, let alone using a cage that housed birds owned by others comes with risks.
