rationalreasonz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I just had to share this with people who will appreciate it. I just got my gray a new cage today and it is so amazing. It is 38x48x64 and she loves it. My finace` just carries on about how big it is and how much space it is taking up. But when I put her in it today she started talking like crazy and climbing all around she loves it! It makes me so happy to see her happy. Now she has a huuuge cage with a playtop and all she she can climb around and get exercise. I thought I would share this with others who share this same excitement as I do seeing their birds happy. How big are all of your cages and how did your gray react when being put in her new home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaya_the_elf Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Love playtop cages, that what my parrots have as well, its so fun watching them play on it. Happy you found good cage for your baby:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Thats so nice that she took to her new cage so well, sometimes when we introduce a new thing they are scared but not yours apparently. Thats a nice size too, big and roomy, glad your grey took to it so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rationalreasonz Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 yeh, I was worried she would be scared but she loooved it she went from a 20x20 cage to this huuuge thing and she absolutely loves it. She is more talkative then ever and I am so happy. I got it for a great price to. Everywhere I looked they were 800 or 600 bucks but I got mine for 350 on Ebay and I am so happy with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Well you got a good deal then, usually most greys would have to get used to it before going in and using it, you are lucky that she took to it right away. She must love it, she just needed a bigger space to talk more, she thinks she has a bigger audience in a bigger cage.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rationalreasonz Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 My friend had been trying to get me to not buy the cage. She said it was too big and she would hurt herself but when I did research everywhere I looked they said the same thing, there is no such thing as too big. So I went with the biggest one I could find. I have 5 toys in there now and like 10 more out to switch every week. She loves everything. I have this toy for her that she has to spin these little balls around the circle and she plays with it a lot she will spin the ball and when it goes around she will yell woo hoo lol. She is so great and I love to spoil her. If anyone on here wants to get a new cage or bigger cage like I did I will be more than happy to send the ling from where I got it. Now that I see this big cage there is plenty of room for her to have a friend lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Be careful of wanting to put another bird in with your grey, in most cases that won't work. Post the link of where you got it, others may be interested in getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysis Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Rationalreasonz, What toy do you have that amuses your grey? Is it this one? http://www.birdieboutique.com/ni24300.html I'm always looking for grey-worthy toys. Thanks. Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Liz that is a great looking toy and a nice price on it too, thanks for sharing that link with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rationalreasonz Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Liz, No that's not the one I have. Mine looks like a Yo-Yo but instead of the string it has two tracks side by side that have little marble sized balls that spin around, but that one is adorable too they love mind toys as the girl at my job calls them. Things that make them think. But I would say that that toy would be the same concept as the one I have http://cgi.ebay.com/Parrot-Bird-Wrought-Iron-Cage-40-x30-x69-WI40AS_W0QQitemZ250181836878QQihZ015QQcategoryZ46289QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262 This is the link to the cage for all of those interested in it The seller is trust worthy and they shipped it really fast. I got mine in less than a week and I think that is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronda477 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Yes Ebay is a great great place to buy a cage from! I too just bought one for our Goffin baby that will be coming home soon and I got it for only $175 with shipping! And it has the play top on it as well! I love those kind! SweetHeart has a bigger one than I just got the Goffin, but I am home all day long and they are never in their cages except for at night. I'm sure your baby is just loving it by the way she is acting and showing off for you! That is great! Thanks for sharing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rationalreasonz Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 yep how big was the one you got for 175? I love ebay for that reason. I work at a pet store and I know how much they pay for the item and then how much they charge it is like a 100% mark up I mean don't get me wrong if I had the money I would just buy it there but I don't. The way I see it the 500 bucks I saved on the cage can now go to food and toys and lots of other things for my baby like a great play stand I found..I must share that link as well I think it is great!

judygram Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 And you are so right, that $500 IS going for food, toys and other things a grey needs.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah_Rae Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I feel bad because we have a smaller cage, but we just couldn't afford one of the monstrosities. It's not tiny, she can still climb up and down and can spread her wings, but that's about it. Thankfully she doesn't spend much time in it right now, and hopefully we will be able to afford something bigger soon. Ahh parental guilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rationalreasonz Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 aww don't feel guilty I couldn't afford a big one either at first. Your baby knows you love her either way. Just keep your eye out on ebay they have some really good deals on there. You can even build your own cage if you have the extra time. I have seen some great plans for cages. If you would like I can do some research and find you a nice one. I only bought the monster cage because I am at work most of the day so I wanted her to have her space, but the cage she had would have been ok if I were home most of the day, which I wish I were...= aaanyway, lol if you really wanted to get one of the cages you can even apply for a paypal buyer credit card you pay 20 bucks a month it has low interest and no interest for 12 months...

judygram Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Don't feel so bad Hannah, if she does not spend much time in it during the day then it need not be so big, and you can always get a bigger one later when you get yourself another bird, you'll already have the cage:whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaFawkes Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Wow you got a great cage for a great deal!! Its a lot like what Fawkes has, only hers is white. I paid about the same...kind of...I paid $300 for Fawkes, with ehr cgae,toys, food...etc...STEAL!!!:silly: :lol: :woohoo: :silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronda477 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Oh Hannah don't feel bad at all! Trust me I can't get a real big cage either! The one I have for sweetheart is a little bigger than this one. This one is 32x23x36 and has 6 feed bowls! And a play top that comes off to bring from room to room! It's not huge by any means, but being they are only in there at night it's big enough. Here is the link I got mine from on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=160210826908&_trksid=p3984.cWON.m313.lVI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaFawkes Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Rhonda I have that cage for Aries my red-lored Amazon!! He is only in it at night and he loves it!! He is getting a new one soon though!! YAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Wow thats great news Rational! Your Grey is obviously in heaven now. :-) Thanks for sharing those links to ebay. I'm sure anyone looking ofr a cage or perhaps an upgrade in size will find them very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronda477 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yes they do have very good deals on there Dan! And the cages from WPIC trading I think it is, where I got mine from, have some good sizes too and pretty cheap as you can see I didn't spend that much on mine at all and that was with shipping! And I got it here, and have to say that it isn't cheaply made at all either. It's nice and strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaFawkes Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I agree Rhonda! I love that cage, and when Aries gets his new one my little Brown-head parrot will get that one!! Wonderful cage!! I got mine at petco on clearance for $35:woohoo: Couldnt pass it up for that price!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronda477 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Oh wow! $35 was a great deal! I love it when they go out of business! I got our corner cage for our quaker which is really too big for her and sweetheart's cage which is pretty good size all for $300. Sweetheart's cage alone was suppose to be more than that. There are plenty of good deals as long as you don't need the cage tomorrow! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Judy, where did you get your cage? I want to get a new one for Talon seeing as she is spending more time in her cage since I moved. I just love yours!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronda477 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 What kind of cage do you have Judy? I have never seen it. Do you still have pics of it or where the link is to show me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
