okay just curiosity, where do everyone buy their breeding cages/flights? I order twice from petco online for their 30X18X18 and let me say this. they are not cheap!! I order another one from ebay and also a stand. I spend almost 240 bucks for 3 breeding cage 30X18's and a stand. is it horrible? If you guys know any cheaper online stores or places. let me know, i would greatly greatly appreciated it. Oh and on that note. im heading to a bird fair this sunday here in des moines, ia. was wondering if cages are usually cheap at the fair as well. :D if you're close in the area. come join me at the bird fair.

it may work out cheaper for you to make them. make the main section at least and just purchase a front for it.

here are a couple of sites that may give you some ideas for set ups and cage front prices.

I have always bought mine at bird marts. VERY inexpensive there.

Bird fairs that I have been to all had good deals on cages, just check them out at the other booths before you buy . Don't be afraid to make them a offer on one save yourself some money In this economy they aren't selling as many as before. :)

In the US you can certainly get breeding cages MUCH cheaper than we can here in Canada. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Someone in a prior thread gave a link to these guys. While not as cheap as what you guys are saying at the birdmarts, it is cheaper than PetCo.

I'm thinking that if I don't build my own cages, this might be the way I will go.
