Just ordered a big new cage for my conure, Kermit. His current one is nice, but I felt he needed an upgrade. His current cage measures 24” long, 22” deep, and 51” tall. I thought his cage was a little too narrow for him, and the height didn’t matter much since he usually stays near the top of the cage (he does come down briefly to eat and drink, as the food dishes are near the bottom). His new cage will be a dometop cage measuring 32” long, 23” deep and 40” high without the stand. I just ordered it today, so it should arrive by the end of the week. I’m so excited to set it up!! I really feel that a pet bird should have the biggest cage possible, and I hate the small tabletop cages. I don’t know why I didn’t get that cage when I got Kermit! Anyway here is the cage I bought: https://www.birdscomfort.com/dometop_parrot_cage.htmlA&E 32x23 medium dometop parrot cage. If anyone has this cage, let me know how you like it! And this is Kermit’s current cage: http://a.co/1PGy1w0Ducky has the Prevue F040 flight cage and I really like it. Though I wanted to try something different for Kermit. Bluebell and Pearl each have one of these cages: http://a.co/cCJBEDbBluebell’s is in white and Pearl’s is in brown. I don’t think they make the cage in white anymore though. What cages do you use for your birds??

I use the f040 for my single lovebird. I think it’s great but sometimes I wish it was less tall and more wide because he doesn’t use the bottom half except to go eat. (Seeds are on the bottom.)

Wow, tielfan, that’s a huge cage. I prefer flat top or dome top cages over playtop ones though, as I cover my birds cages at night and the playtop would get in the way. I agree that the F040 should be wider. Ducky uses all the levels of her cage though, as I’ve placed lots of perches everywhere around the cage. What’s weird is that she always climbs the bars instead of hopping/flying, even though her cage has plenty of room. It’s a flight cage lol. And Ducky is fully flighted, she loves to fly around when out, so it’s not like she can’t fly or anything.

A little bit of a setback here with the cage. The shipping cost was way too much! I ended up ordering another very similar cage from a different website: http://www.mybirdcage.com/drop-door-dom ... cages.htmlSame dimensions as the other one, but this cage has an extra drop door that might come in handy. I got the platinum color. Also ordered a bunch of toys and a Kings travel carrier to replace Ducky’s clear plastic one, which is very hard to clean. Tielfan, great cage setup! Does your cage have a divider?

Kermit’s cage arrived yesterday and I assembled it today. I LOVE IT!!! It’s huge, sturdy, convenient, and the color is nice too. The drop door is great as well, I’m sure Kermit will love to sit on it. Kermit is very happy with his new home. He’s already loving it, and it didn’t take any time for him to warm up to it. In fact, I love this cage so much that I’m considering getting an HQ flight cage for Ducky. After seeing the quality build of HQ cages, Ducky’s Prevue cage seems very flimsy. The bars sag at the top, the side doors are spring loaded, and one of the welds is broken. I honestly don’t know why I even went with Prevue cages in the first place when HQ is so much better quality. The cage is not yet fully set up. I need to get a few more perches and toys.

The HQ flight isn’t that much more expensive than the Prevue F040 (the dometop cage is though). I am also not a fan of the door locks on the Prevue cage. They don’t seem very secure compared to the locks on the HQ cage. I thought I really liked the Prevue cage before I got my HQ cage...
Kermit is so much happier in his new cage. His old one was not nearly sufficient, especially with conures being such active birds.
