Raphael Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Would a montana san remo be adequate to house a congo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Almost all of their cages are made for smaller birds than CAGs. The bar spacing is to small. CAGs have large feet and could hurt themselves. I would think that you need a heavier duty cage made with thicker bars and it should be the size that can comfortably hold CAGs and Amazons and small cockatoos If possible, a flat roof is better for a CAG and many come with a permanent playstand attached to the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Is the san remo a no then? I desperately need to upgrade what I have at the moment, it was a temporary thing and the san remo looked very good because I understand that they need to be at least 3ft wide.<br><br>Post edited by: Raphael, at: 2009/05/31 00:09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 You can check all of their models and see if you can find one that's about 58 inches high by 33 inches wide and 28 inches deep or even bigger. It should have thick bars and powder coated so if you find one then get it. The bars spacing should be about 3/4 inches. The one above is that approx measurement and it's a standard cage fot the greys and other birds I mentioned.<br><br>Post edited by: Dave007, at: 2009/05/31 00:34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Im not after the san remo in specific if there is something else around but its a bit harder since im in the UK maybe. I have been looking through ebay and all the high ones seem to be maybe only 70-75cm wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphael Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thanks for the help. Its very frustrating for some reason all the cages at up to 80cm are around £100 and anything above doubles in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Ok, I am now back on track and looking since our parrot flew away yesterday and was very luckily returned by somebody who had found it today. It escaped through the cage which was one of the reasons I was looking for a new one. The cage is now fully secured. I stumbled across this one and wanted to know your opinion: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Jersey-Parrot-Bird-Cage-Antique-Grey-Free-Extras_W0QQitemZ190310638858QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Pet_Supplies_Birds?hash=item2c4f65e50a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A3%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A50<br><br>Post edited by: Raphael, at: 2009/06/01 20:06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
