New flight cage

Post by finchandlovebird » Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:15 pm

Went to the monthly bird fair here & DID NOT BUY ONE BIRD!!! I did however, pick up a nice high quality cage on a stand w/wheels for $100. It measures 30L 18W 35H. I figured it would be a great aviary to put young, fledged birds in or a breeding cage for a pair of my Gouldians. Happy Camper :lol:

Great cage for that price, and clever use of the craft boxes!
