Okay, so I 'quoted' all three of you to be sure you'd all see this.w.l. wrote: One of mine:
Having a completely free weekend, I came home Friday night and started looking around at my place. The struggle of trying to come up w/a cage for my buffet has been becoming bigger than I ever intended, and I've also been overthinking this whole thing. I like simple. And I got an idea:
Why not just rearrange?
It took about a few hours and trying different configurations, but the dining room set up is now in the actual dining room and, well . . . I think you'll dig the result and what it means cage wise:
I now have a very different floor plan (which, btw, I absolutely love the openness this created) to place a full size cage, on a stand, on wheels.
So now, we're in a whole different ballgame, as far as cage size, number of birds and options go. I'll be good to go in ordering the cage in about three weeks and now at least I/we should have a much simpler time w/a choice of one. I'm diggin' the one you posted, Sojourner, via Amazon, and leaning towards that.
The question that comes up for me then is, what's my next step(s) until I get the cage in? Along with buying a Dustbuster vaccuum. ( @ Sojourner)
I'm thinking keep studying and reading, along with taking a trip or three to the local bird shop I'd mentioned earlier, start talking with them, getting to know them and such; start building that relationship.
As the birds themselves go, I'm still sticking with Societies. I'm thinkin' I'd want to top out at 3 pair / 6 birds.
Talk me to me guys - whaddya' think?
(And thanks beyond measure for walking me through this whole beginning w/the hobby! I am so stoked about making this happen and adopting these birds, it's gonna' be a great adventure!).
