Question on Breeding cages

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.

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.

just build them yourself , its easy , its fun and its cheap , but do order the fronts online ..

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.

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.
