Well pictures on the internet can make cages seem smaller than when you actually get them and I should've measured the space. I ordered a 63x19x65 double cage with stand. Good God, the thing is huge once I put it together. It takes up almost one whole wall in my bird room. I wanted my finches to have lots of room to fly around and get plenty of exercise but Lord, they will have a great place to live now.
My zebras have fledglings coming out of the nest and they will all enjoy the extra room but I now can really enlarge my flock. The chicks are going to go to a friend that has been wanting finches and I'm getting her set up to take them once they are weaned. Now I can really do a proper mixed breed cage. So excited.
I got home from work a little later than usual and started putting it together and once I just about finished, the timer went off on the light in the room so I stopped as to not scare my birds. I'll add a picture of the cage complete tomorrow so everyone can see the possibilities. I'm going to need some advice as to what species to add. I want to do a few species that work well together and in pairs.
Just had to share because I stood there looking at the darn thing and just laughing to myself when I saw how big it was. Luckily I wanted to get to this point eventually but now I just jumped forward faster than expected.
Onward and upward. Soon I'll have to make the whole second floor just for the birds.
