Jeaniebean Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I LOVE my new Featherland Stainless steel folding parrot cage. Got the 3624 for my two greys, dometop. It's a beauty-the steel tubing is a little thinner then my other stainless but the design is the best-my birds cannot get to the paper to shred it, which they love to do and boy does it make a mess. My only concern, and yes, it's a BIGGIE is that at one part the bars are 1" apart-all the other places the bar spacing is smaller. Do you think I should be concerned with African greys? My male's head is huge so I don't worry about him but the female's is smaller. I've read though that 1" bar spacing is fine for greys. What's your opinion?

danmcq Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 The bar spacing being one inch is fine. My Cage is one inch bar spacing. Sounds like a cool cage. Maybe you could post a photo of it? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 yeah let's see a pic sounds like a good cage. 1 inch spacing is good, not big enough for their heads but plenty of room for getting a good climbing grip. the bars on mine are an inch apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I agree 1' spacing is fine but not any wider, sounds like a beautiful cage, how about posting a photo of so we can all admire it. Welcome to our family, Jeaniebean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeaniebean Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 How do I post a picture on my post? I already screwed up the photo for my profile! LOL How do I email the webmaster to correct my mistakes? This really is the best website I've come across! I just took some great photos. I don't like to use flash so they aren't as bright as I like since it is raining outside but the cage is shiney, and can interfer with the flash anyway.

Jeaniebean Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 They distroy (chew) their toys within hours so I keep only one or two in there at a time. They are out of their cage walking around the living room most of the time or hanging out on top. Dewey is a major chewer and I can't tell you how many times I had to replace wood work. I bought a basket (bare-no stain or paint) at Walmart, then go to the craft department and for only 88 cents each I buy little cars, trucks, anything made out of wood and I store it in their basket. When they come out, they go right to their basket and pull out their toys which they then turn into toothpicks. A plan cardboard box keeps them busy for HOURS and they love them. I use non conventional toys-things around the house that I know is safe-nothing with chemicals and no cherry wood.I did order a new bell for them since they do like to ring it at 6 am in the morning but I don't know how long that will last LOL. They really like just hanging out with us, or being with us. No matter how many toys I have for them, Dewey will ALWAYS head for the nearest SHOE to EAT-I can't tell you how many Birkenstocks (new ones!) I had to throw out cause of her chewing...she's worse then a dog! Sometimes I make a pine box for them to play in, which they'll eat in about one week. BUt it's a lot cheaper then paying $40 for a toy that will last only hours. I should take pictures of the toys I make them out of cheap pine. Sometimes I just get scraps for free from Home Depot and let them go to town on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Yeah I know of some other people who just give them a chunk of a wood 2x4 to keep them busy, you don't have to spend a lot of money on toys, but most of us do, I know I do. We'd love to see pics of the toys you make, maybe give some of us an idea to do that for our greys. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 What a beautiful cage. I think that's the difference between TAG's & CAG'S.....CAG's can destroy toys much quicker!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
