Great set ups and great cages. I didn't see much greenery in any of them except for one. I myself like to see the greenery. I think it appears more bird friendly.

I agree...I try to make my set up look natural.Some of these guys are just interested in efficiency and cleanliness.They are good breeders and look after their birds but like the guy in the middle picture I prefer to see some plantlife.

I like plants too (I use artificial), but the more cages you have, the more maintenance. My plastic plants get pretty covered in poop, and when the birds are breeding, I don't want to disturb them, so those plants get really disgusting after a while. On another forum, someone suggested putting most of the plants on the outside of the cage, so the birds get the sense of privacy, but the cages stay cleaner.
