Does anyone have opinions or experience with this cage? I am looking to purchase 2 cages. I will be picking up my rescue/inherited CAGS next week. I do work and they will be caged while I am gone (40-45hr/week). Space and money is a factor, but I want them to be comfortable. I really like that the front opens up entirely for easy cleaning and I prefer a play top. http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11147187&lmdn=Other+Ways+to+Shop&f=PAD%2FpsNotAvailInUS%2FNo Thanks!

I believe my grandmother is senile. Come to find out, I will be inheriting Dutch and Emmie. Emmie is a 20ish year old grey. She (?) is not a plucker, but is missing toes. She was a rescue and has always been missing the toes and it doesnt slow her down. Baby passed away 5 years ago, presumably from the plucking.I had to move the pick up date to next week as i now know i need to buy new cages. Supposedly Dutch has removed enough bars that he can stick his head out of his cage! They are not bonded and are in separate cages. Dutch has been sexed and is confirmed male. Emmie is unknown, but thought to be female. Dutch talk and sings, Emmie does not. She says they are healthy . I am relieved that they do not pluck! I am nervous and anxious to meet them....but i am concerned about taking in 2 at one time. Especially since i have little kmowledge of birds.

Thank you very much everyone! I am hoping to pick them up weds and already made a vet appt for next weds with the avian vet. I will keep ya'll updated! Until then i'll be lurking around here....

Hello everyone! My name is Rachel. I just found out that I am inheriting my grandmothers two Congo African greys. I currently own a (awesome!) Jenday conure as well as a house sparrow. The greys are around 25 years old. Unfortunately, they are coming from very , very bad living conditions. My grandmother is a hoarder, of animals and variously objects. I haven't seen the birds since I was 7 (I am 22 now). She doesn't allow anyone in her house. I know it's dark and the air quality is very bad, as you can smell urine and various odors from the front porch. It's also very dusty from what i can tell. The birds havent been handled since.....forever? My grandma loves her birds, and has the best intentions...but its just gotten out of hand. Baby has a plucking problem. I was also told that Baby is missing toes... I know I have A LOT of work ahead of me. I am unsure of their temperment and health, but I am expecting the worst. I will be picking them up this week or next. Until then, im going to absorb as much info from this site as possible, and make a vet appt appt at the nearby avian and exotic vet first thing! I have so much to learn in so little time! Any advice/link recommendations are very much appreciated. I will post photos as soon as i get them home! Thanks in advance! -Rachel
