Used Bird Cage?

[ubecrew610]

Does anyone ever sell used cages? and are they worth it? thanks alot.

Yes, you can find them on the Internet or sometimes in local papers.

 

You just need to carefully inspect it for rust or other damage. Then once you purchase it, sanitize it very thoroughly before putting any bird in it.

 

You can find some really good deals sometimes.

 

You may want to find out when the next bird mart is in your area, they have brand new cages sometimes for half the cost you would normally pay.

i know of a Bird store in Burlington, New Jersey. that is supposed to be the argest on the east coast, so i think they may be really cheap. Has any one ever heard of the store

Very good advice, Dan, I purchased my cage from a bird fair and got it cheaper than from other sources.

Hi ubecrew610 good luck with finding a cage, please just remember to fully disinfect the cage with a good cleaning agent something like F10, as you never know the health of the previous occupant

I've gotten a used one off of Craigslist before, and it was fine. I just sanded the paint off then repainted it and it looks brand new! I would definitely check it out, and the home it's coming from first before buying though!

I've been there a couple times. It's definitely a fun place to wander around in. LOTS of toys to chose from.

:woohoo:

I purchased a used one, and wouldn't do it again. It was for 200. and I had to clean it and the pan was in rough shape. It also had rust on it, so I ended up sanding it down and then painted it with black grill paint. It was alot of work and I could have purchased a new one on ebay for 200. After all the work and exta paint I had more than 200 dollars into mine. I will shop on line next time.

I just bought a used bird cage off of craigslist.com too. It was about $500 cage atleast and I picked it up for $150. It was only used for 8 months (the girl took her grey to California and got a new cage out there. Anyway, I recommend craigslist. com for everything. They were asking $200 for the cage and I asked if they could go any lower and they did. It's always worth a try and usually works. This cage was in new condition, too.
