Im trying to decide between

1.http://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore ... arrot-cage

2.http://m.sears.com/hq-16421bk-side-by-s ... M196891332

N possibly
3. http://www.qualitydiscountcages.com/a-& ... vider.html

Feel free to suggest other stuff. Zorro has a single flight cage right now but it needs replacing.

Im told #1 has flimsy gym (tho has everything i want a gym n skirt) n the double flight cage has thin bars.

O.0 unfortunately anytime someone says something bad about something i like im very easily influenced. So plz help.

These cages are very different from each other, but all of them look nice enough to me. So you can pick whichever one you like best. I have the "split level" cage and it's a pain in the butt to wash it or move it to another room because it's so big, but otherwise it's great.

It looks like there are some small doors on the side, so maybe you could wire them together and open the doors to make a passageway. I don't know how well it would fit though. If you want a double cage you'd probably be better off to buy one.

Someone told me the x2 flight cage has slimsy bars is 3.0 flimsy :shrug: ? I know its 21 inch wide. But i think length makes up 4 lack width? Or no? Should choose something else.

The bars look like standard budgie-cage bars, which are OK for most small parrots. The other two cages have thicker bars which are suitable for bigger parrots. You know more about Zorro's beak strength and chewing habits than we do, so you're in a better position to decide whether the thinner bars will be strong enough for him.

You also know more about his play habits than we do and can judge the width better than we can. A width of 21 inches wouldn't work for a large macaw but it's plenty for most small parrots. It's easier to visualize if you get a tape measure or yardstick and look at how much space 21 inches really provides. Most of my cages aren't that deep, and only my two biggest cages are deeper than that. My biggest cage is the same as #3 on your list, and my second biggest cage is this one: http://smile.amazon.com/Prevue-Hendryx- ... 0002AQ228/

Right now its not to strong it will get stronger but he only chews on the bars on rare occasion.
