Has anyone successfully attached 2 Prevue Hamptons (F070/F075) end-to-end? I don't have these cages yet but looking at the parts diagrams it doesn't look to me like this would be easily done ...

Turn towards home, and go there. Many overs, over woods and fields, streams and hills, many overs. Just turn towards home. How else would one go there? Perhaps it was a dream, and you have awakened from it. May the earth rise up beneath you, with home in your heart, and your person waiting.

I have these cages... the trays and grates would be an issue if you removed the sides of two of these to connect together.

Yeah, it really looks like the only way to accomplish this task involves permanent deconstruction of part of the cage - basically cutting a large hole in the two sides you want to put together.

Hi there!

As Cindy mentioned above, you can create a really nice and spacious finch cage if you connect two 36'' tall x 30'' long flights together. I constructed a cage like this for my own finches, and they just love it!

You can find sets of 3 flight cages on eBay for around $100, and combine two of the cages into a 60'' long flight. I also found a 60'' long by 18'' deep (same dimensions as the cage) folding table on Amazon that was less than $80. It isn't the prettiest table, but it is sturdy and has just the right dimensions to make a great stand for this sort of cage.

Hope this helps!
