    whats the name of the cage?? i think its the one that i want.
  2. thanks lin
  3. Where in the world would I put a breeding box? How do I attach it to a cage? Is there a need to cut a hole in the cage to place it? Do I attach it inside? So many questions. I don't intend to breed budgies just yet. I'm just curious about it all.
  4. Well I already have a cage, so I'm going to use that cage as well. For now I only want one more budgie, but I did want to make sure there was appropriate room for adding maybe another budgie in the future By The Way thanks for your comments and help much appreciated. its quite hard to find a good cage. Do you know anything about the vision cage? I keep seeing it at the pet store, to me it doesnt look so good but im curious about what others think. I don't ever intend to buy it though, not big enough
  5. ive looked on ebay. all the cages are either decorative or wayyyy too big. Also I can't afford anything on ebay cause of shipping costs and half the stuff is overpriced in my opinion. I don't have that much money to spend. I'm only 17 and my job isn't that great paying so I'm splurging right now on this cage. I can't seem to find anything that is 30 inches in width, that isn't crazily priced or has the right bar spacing. I'll keep trying I suppose.
  6. When out today looking for a cage. Just to get a feel for the price ranges and stuff. I saw 3 that I liked. The two below as well as another called "Imperial". My only concern is the outside feeder cups... obviously there are gaps that enable the owner to put the feeder cups in.... are there different types of feeders I can put? Or do I have to stick with the ones given to me? I really don't like outside feeder cups... is there a way to block those holes? If not I guess I'll have to figure out a way to put the feeders I want, the ones that come with the cages are really not what I want at all . Which cage is better of the two? Are there any cages that anyone recommends that are similar to these? I would also like a stand that has wheels for maximum convinience.... anyways. thats all i have to say. I'll be going back to the pet shop for another visit so I can decide. I'm pretty sure I prefer the casino cage over the habitat but... then there's also the imperial which I can't seem to find information on. oh and whats the deal with vision cages? Are they good or no good? There seems to be really mixed opinions about that. http://www.hagen.com/canada/english/birds/...0101&SUBCAT=805 HABITAT http://www.hagen.com/canada/english/birds/...0101&SUBCAT=805 CASINO
  7. thanks Rainbow! That's a great deal of information Very much appreciated.
  8. thanks for the tip i already have a budgie and he's in a smaller cage so I'll have that as a spare cage. I want to buy a new cage and I hope to get another budgie for now but in case I add more I want to get another cage that is big enough for at least 4-5 i want to make sure I have tons of extra room. My mother thinks it's ridiculous because i showed her my dream cage and she freaked out at me haha. oh and im also curious about any brand of cage that is better than others? what about bar spacing? materials that the cage should be made of etc. i know these questions are very basic but I just want to make the right decision. I won't be buying the cage for a little while and I want to do my research first.
  9. hehe, I'm going to do my best, but I'd like to have a kind of... rough set of dimensions so I can see if a cage can even fit in my room.
  10. How big should a cage be for 4-5 budgies?
  11. second one.

    I use a small spray bottle for Newton. She gets a little freaked out but then shakes herself off.

    I was really eager in the beginning when I got my bird Newton. I got really disappointed when she didn't warm up to me very quickly. It's been 5 months now and she's starting to get better, she comes to me when I walk near the cage, and when I put my hand in she doesn't flap around and freak out, though she does nibble on my fingers quite a bit. It seems to be a habit of hers now. Just have patience. I know that it can be hard but it's definitely worth it

    you really should stop that abuse. that's really terrible.
  15. Just recently I witnessed my budgie eat his dried out droppings. I have never seen him do this before!! How do I get him to stop!?? why is he doing this!?
