Here's my new flight cage. Any suggestions? Perch placement?

oh it looks sooo nice =D> !! :D The only thing I could add is I always place my perches so they are not pooping on the lower ones. After a couple days you will see any areas that might be a problem, then just move em' around till you get them just right! :D Somtimes it can take a several days and adjustments. depends where they decide to hang out and roost! I also keep greenery above them or away from perches, or on outside so they dont get dirty as fast either!! Very pretty.

Thanks for the advice! I've been tweaking the perches, and the new food dishes. They don't seem to like the bottom of the cage, they loved their bath in the old cage, but I didn't see them use the new bath today? Weird!

They have unique songs - I have Russian/ Timbrado/ American Singers and I like them all. I am hoping to have Kurdsville soon they are cross breed of Japanese Hoso X American singers
My canaries love the long big flight cages - You can see smiles on their faces :wink:

Looks really good, the only thing I would take into consideration is to be sure they have a bit of fly space. If you can, leave an area without perches etc so they can get some exercise and spread those wings. :wink:

I think it looks beautiful! They will fly to the bottom after they get used to everything. They can feel vulnerable on the floor of a flight and while everything is new, they may not travel down there too often. As they get used to it, though, you will see them there more and more often.

Great job!

I agree with debbie. You can always remove a few perches so they have more space to fly/distance to fly to the next perch for excercise.

Other than that I think it looks great, and great price too :)

Thanks everyone! I have adjusted the perches for flying room. They seems to like it, as I hear some fluttering around once in a bit.
