Flight Cage Recommendations?

[Flautista]

Hi, everyone! I have a little extra money this month, and I'm looking to upgrade my zebra condo! Right now Bo and Berta are in a cage that I feel is a bit too small--about 18 x 12. Does anyone have any recommendations for good flight cages that aren't too hard on the wallet? I was looking at the ones on this website: http://www.thefinchfarm.com/3/miscellaneous1.htm

Those look nice but I would suggest looking at the finch flight cages at Petco. The 30x18x18 are around $50. Not powder coated but finches don't chew wires so that is not an issue. I also like the door high up on one side that can be used for hanging an outside nest.

For those prices, you would have all kinds of choices on Amazon, or other places.

Try this link, I filtered it to Free Super Saver Shipping. That first one, the Prevue, is quite a popular cage.

I have one of those Prevues Finnie mentioned and it is a terrific cage. $125 well spent. For the extra space the cost compares favorably with a 30x18x18 plus stand.
The one criticism is that it is taller than wide and larger birds have restricted room for horizontal flying. This is not a factor for small birds like zebras because they will have a ton of room for exercise.
A McMansion for two zebras.

The cages sold by The Finch Farm are manufactured by Quality Cage Company in Portland, OR. They are excellent cages but pricey. I have some that I bought used and love them, but for two Zebras, you can do better price-wise. You will sacrifice some quality, but you can get a larger cage for your money. I don't know where you are located, but in my area, there are often used cages for sale on craigslist. Almost every cage I own (lots of them!) was bought used.

The Petco flight cages are wonderful for two zebras. If you buy it online the price is on sale for $37, add some extra supplies of any kind (seed, perches, swings, dog toys, cat food, doesn't matter what) to get your total up to $49, and shipping is free. Will show up in a week, at most, delivered to your doorstep. Some of us have gotten two of these, and joined them end to end, to create a 5 foot x 18" x 18" cage, it's awesome. If you have the surface area for something like this, the finches love it.

Here's one of my petco cages set up for 4 spice finches:


Here's the double petco cage I set up, I am miraculously keeping 8 zebras happy in here (doesn't usually work with so many, just a warning):


Many others have the Prevue cage listed in the link, and they all love that one, too.

Thanks for all the input, everyone! I ended up ordering the Petco cage! My zebras will be livin' large in no time!

I have three PETCO flight cages My birds and I just love them. Be sure to put some artificial greenery in and you will see some very happy birds. Best of luck.
