New flight cage tips
Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2015 9:07 am
I'm looking to replace my current flight cage with a more flexible model. The one I currently have houses 6 zebras, it has two large doors on the front and two small doors on either end. It also has 4 built in seed/water hoppers. I originally thought the hoppers would be very useful, however as they are difficult to empty and refill, I no longer use them and instead use gravity water feeders, and seed hoppers that clip to the wires of the cage.
I'm looking for a model that will house 6 birds (minimum) and that has at least 4 doors, I don't want the built in hoppers as I don't use them. I would really like it if there was a large door in the roof or if the roof was detachable. I like to free-flight my birds fairly regularly, so being able to get them out of the cage in a stress free manner would be useful (they will all fly back into the open cage doors so no stress recapturing them, except for the fledglings who haven't learned that yet).
I have looked in pet shops near me and can't find one that I like really, in which case I would tend to order online, but I'm hoping that someone on here could advise me a little more if you know a particularly nice cage/brand.
