Dave007 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Your present cage is ideal for a grey who is known to climb all over the insides of a cage. The new cage above may look nice but it's not suited to a grey or amazon who need the ability to move around a square or rectangular cage especially on the interior of a roof. In the new cage, the inner part of the roof will be used very little. Greys like flat surfaces when they finally relax. The right side is very short and your bird would have to go under a roof to get there ( the side with the small playstand). The cage you're showing is made for long tailed parrots who like to perch in the roofs of things. Some people here have them but the best type to get are the models that are similar to what you already have. There's plenty of cages that are larger than the present cage you have. Looking that your present cage, it seems fine but the next size larger would be ideal. On your present cage, there's a large playstand --on the other it s very small and the bigger the stand, thebetter since the bird stays out of the cage alot. Lots of things can be hung from the playstand into or on the cage. PS--one other thing I forgot to say--Greys are well known to perch and rest on the highest thing that they find. Concerning that new cage, the highest point is that V roof. The bird would feel uncomfortable up there and there's a chance that he''l lose his balance and fall or hurt himself with such thin bars.
