As some of you may know, two days ago, my conure passed away. She was very very special to me, and she was a therapeutic animal which makes the fact that she's gone much harder. We've been discussing getting another bird, but the problem is that I'm a senior in high school, going off to college in a year. Then as soon as I'm out of the dorm, I'm coming to get her (too afraid to fly with a bird so I'll drive, or someone will drive her to me). Currently the cage is in my room because we have dogs downstairs but one of them is so old she wouldn't care at all and when we move the cage outside to clean it, she barely even looks at it. She couldn't care less. My smaller dog is very interested in the cage but also scared so when he comes upstairs he looks at it from ten feet away and a few seconds later carries on.
If I decided to get another bird, I would want to DIY a larger cage for him/her so he/she has more to do in his/her cage, and I'd like to try to have the cage in the main room of the house so the bird isn't sitting in a room that's empty 23 hours a day. Do you guys think this would be a good idea? The cage I have right now is 30x24x36 I believe and I feel like that's too small to leave a bird in most of the time when I'm away.
