Very pretty. I did like those black cages in your original photos. Looked very roomy.

Colt that was a 6ft flight that was to big its in the garage now. I have fewer birds now and don't need cages that big. All those big cages are for sale.

I see you have clear tubs it looks like under your gravity feeders? Is there a reason for that?

Harley2013.... I use the clear shoe boxes under the feeders because I have removed the drawer that catches the seed because it is so small and now any extra seed that is not eaten can be foraged by my birds.

Sherry, where did you find those large hanging plants in your flights and are they silk or plastic? I would like to find some long hanging ones, maybe 20 to 30 inches or so for reasonable price, considering they will be pooped on anyway. Preferably plastic so they can be washed easier.

Harley2013 I got all those long plastic plants at Michaels and they have a large
handle like a brides bouquet and I nylon tie it to the top of the cage and spread the
leaves and clip them to the sides to spread them out. I use those med. size hair clips that have the claws like. You can drape the leaves over the nest to hide them which
most birds like. You can check with your local Goodwill store as well.

Harley2013 here are the clips I use in my cages and they come in all sizes you can use the larger ones to hang millet on side of cage or onto a perch.

I use the med size most of the time. They even come in handy on side doors of the cage that don't close tight.
