Hi everyone

 

I am looking at getting 2 budgies soon (perhaps more later).

I want a large-ish cage for them but without spending a fortune. I love the cages that have climbing things on top.

 

I've been looking on ebay and most of the cages have 2 or 2.5cm bar spacing, is that too large for budgies? i am assuming so.

 

Then there is this one which is okay:

But i cant say i overly like it.

 

I really like this style:

But the bars on that one above dont seem suitable.

 

Can anyone recommend where to buy a cage for a reasonable price, or any particular ones on ebay that you think are suitable.

 

thanks

JJ aviaries has some nice ones and they mail order, just google them

Great cages MB

In the FAQ we under Cages we have a great link about good cages and bad plus member's cages too .

Look at this horrific thing i found on ebay

Thankfully no one will probably buy it at that price but imagine putting a poor bird in that!!

Those sorst of cages are generally simply used as a decorative item with no bird in it, but they are generally fine for finches depending on the size, they are certainly not suitable for budgies

I know, but her descrption says you can put a bird in it. I dont believe finches should be put in it, no bird should have to live in that!

And she listed it in the Pets section, rather it should just have been listed under Collectables.

It is a huge cage, just because you don't like the 'look' of it doesn't mean it's unsuitable. These are the sorts of cages which were used all over the world before mass produced metal cages came on the market and they are still used in many places now
