This is two petco finch flight cages with the ends removed and zip tied together, so despite the camera tricks, it's five feet long. I have 8 reasonably happy zebras in there, four males, four females. There are two swings as well as hanging 'swingable' vines, 3 food bowls-two raised, one at ground level, one bath jar (making a second this weekend, they really muck it up), one perching stone (native limestone from my yard), 3 cuttlebones, countless loose fake leaves for attempted nesting (that actually distracts them from picking on each other), and four perch complexes made from natural birch branches I collected, broken up into multiple zones and hidey-nooks by all the greenery. Lots of food sources, lots of places to perch without having to look each other in the face, and they live rather peacefully for zebras. And the cage has a clear pathway through the middle, so they can take advantage of the full five feet of length for flying. Having written this, now all hell will probably break loose on me tomorrow, but so far, this is working great. Even removed one pair for breeding, leaving two pair behind in there, no fighting, then re-integrated both the pair and their pair of chicks successfully, after adding yet more perching areas and greenery.
The cage overall. It sits on top of my budgies.

Down one end, showing how the greenery divides up the perch branch giving private zones:
The other end, there is a fawn female hiding in the back:
Perch in the middle back, it now has another branch added and a lot more greenery:
