EmperialTeal Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 A couple of years ago I acquired a female Yellow Naped Amazon that had an awful problem with shredding paper at the bottom of her cage - almost instantly after it was put on the bottom of the cage in the tray. Even with a grill separating the bird from the bottom of the cage it was able to scratcy it`s way to the bottom and grab the paper. I tolerated it for a few months but after getting tired of it I decided to buy a California cage (brand name). The bottom of the cage was now about four inches from the grill at the bottom and the bird could no longer reach the papers on the tray. Besides this, they are extremely easy to clean and the bird loved the space as well. I would recommend one of them to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inuyasha4164 Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 We just invested in a Kings Cage - model 137. It`s wonderful! Would absolutely go with them again - quite well made, great size for Sam (CAG). Easy to clean, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wischee Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 We`ve got 2 island cages -- we like them just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NosferatuVampess Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 I have the Cozumel Island Cage w/playtop for my CAG and just adore it. Its so quick and easy to clean and no paint has chipped off it at all. The size is perfect! I also have the Catalina model for my Severe Macaw in seashell white...DON`T ORDER THE WHITE!! It has chipped terrible. She gets paint on her beak just moving about in it. The mountain granite coat is tough as nails, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inuyasha4164 Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 This cage looks WAY too small for a Grey - perhaps you purchased it as a travel cage? You wouldn`t by chance be with the company, would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnClark Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 I just bought a cage this size for time outs and to use when I clean their home cages...I hope this wasn`t for someones` CAG to live in.

spud_dick Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 the day. But I have to say, I tried a big cage with my Pepsi and I ended up going back to a 24x24...she hated the big cage.

eevaleena Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 cage. That being said, Dusty is never in her cage except to sleep or if I can`t be in the house or if she chooses to go in the cage. Bigger isn`t always better:)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jepri Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 my cags cage measures 24wX18dX46h(interior ht) She is only caged to sleep and when I have to go somewhere without her and nobody else is home, which is rare. She seems to like her small cage, like security at night when she is alone. but......the cage is a few years old and beginning to show signs of wear, like dented bars from me banging it all over when I drag it outside to clean. I would like a SS cage, but they are all so huge! Does anyone know where I can find a SS cage that isn`t big enough for me to fit in? Would be greatly appreciated. tika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattESPY Posted September 29, 2001 Share Posted September 29, 2001 http://www.macawsonly.com/ Tika, this guy is custom building a SS cage for me. He will do anything you want and comes highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
younger Posted September 29, 2001 Share Posted September 29, 2001 then I assumed that he was being a typical grey and being silly about new stuff, so I left him in it. After 2 weeks, I wanted to put him back into his old smaller cage to take him to the vet but he threw a tantrum and refused to go in it.He decided he like his big cage after all. Birds huh, they`re like kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
