6FT Flight Cage Before & After

I found a deal on Craigs list last week for a Quality Cage Co. flight cage for $200.
Its 6ft L x 2ft Wx 3ft H and it came with a powder coated stand with wheels. I just couldn't pass it up even though I had purchased a 35x35x72 Hexagon shaped flight cage which I thought had enough room but nothing like this. They delivered it Sat. and I got busy painting it black to match the stand and my decor since it will sit in my living room. I spent the morning at Michaels finding just the right things to put in it. I think I went overboard..... #-o But anyway here are some photos of the before and after. The birds are in it and love it.
IS EVERYBODY HAPPY!!!! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

I am at my limit now cause I don't have anymore room in the house....But I am So Happy!

You did an awesome job! Love it! Which of your birds did you put in the new flight and which ones did you put in the first cage you bought? Don't forget to post a photo of it with the birdies in it!

It sure does look wonderful!
What paint did you use? and was it hard to paint the cage?

Again, great cage!

I used rustoleum flat black and it wasn't hard at all to paint. I used 5 cans of paint. The hard part was moving it around every time the wind changed direction.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. This is the largest item in the living room #-o
