Cage size help

[metinemre]

Well Eurocages aren`t available as it seems. I asked for the pictures of the cages they couldn`t send me any photos. I asked if they are in stock or not. No clear answer. Very disappointed with corners limited. The only answer i got is they don`t know when they can send me pictures of the euro cages, but surely not any time soon.

LOL?

So i decided to go with full custom cages from qualitycages.com
It will take 4-8 weeks.

2x 60``L x 30``W x 25``H

Do you think 25`` height would look weird in these measurements? I can`t go any higher than 25, if i do; then legs of the rack has to be shorter and bottom cage will be closer to ground or the top cage will be too high :s

Two cages will be on top of each other with 6`` difference in between cages and legs of the rack will be 20``

Question: by (25``) you mean (25")

as in inches? or feet (25')

Do you have pictures or diagrams of these cage flights? I'd be interested in knowing what they look like. It sounds to me, like they're going to be very long and wide, and quite low. I don't think I've ever come across these type of flights.

I tried to visualize with a tape measure and a wallmart table
then changed the measurements to 60"x30x35" H

Both cages will have 2x 12"x12" doors at the front also 2x 5"x5" feeder doors at the front closer to bottom and sides.

Also 2x on right hand side and 2x on left hand side at the top and bottom 5"x5" feeder doors again.

They will also design a divider that i can hang from the top if i ever need to divide the cage forcleaning or catching birds.

Well ehm i have a diagram but don`t laugh please

Also i cancelled the rack. Rack was going to cost $200 and increase shipping another $150. Instead i will buy 2x black tv stands from ikea that has drawers and use those as a cage stand and hide all their goodies in drawers.

These measurements seem to sound more logical. The tv stands with the drawers are a good idea. I love drawers, and they do come in so handy. You'd be surprised how much 'stuff' little birds accumulate in a very short period of time.

So these flight cages are being built for you, to your specifications? Thats a super great idea. Are they really expensive?

Yes we have two plastic containers full of stuff that needs to be put and hopefully fit in those drawers.

They will custom build them. I saw picture of one of their cages actually they emailed me one, let me post it here aswell. I am assuming something around $300-350 per cage. Because half the size of these were quoted around $150. They will give me exact pricing on monday.

Edit: I really want lavenders a lot but everywhere it says they aren`t fit for small cages but aviaries. I hope 60x30x35H will be ok. right now planning 2 pairs per cage. Even if end up dividing these; because of aggression or breeding they will be 30x30x35H which should easily be good enough for a single pair.

Really looking forward to seeing these flights once they're completed and delivered. It's a neat idea, to have cages custom built. I should start saving my nickels and dimes , lol.

With flights that size, I think you should be able to have your Lavenders and then some. Are you hoping to breed?

Not for now. When we let our green singers to breed one of the babies had a broken leg and it couldn`t get healed, got worse and worse and was put to death by vet. It was one of the worst moments in our life so kinda scared to let them breed. Who knows maybe if we move to our own house in a year or two and have space for more cages we can think about it again.
