Quaker?

[mrgoogls]

i had a cage picked out. but my mom wants it a BIT smaller so it will fit next to my computer. the currently picked one would be like 5 in to big..... so, i am trying to find a cage just as cheap(or cheaperXD) and ALMOST as big with a perch on top(playtop). i am having no luck. i find them for the same price, but they are like 20 in. the other one was like 35. i know the "minimum" for a quaker is 18x18 in. but i feel that is to small(i feel everything"minimum" is to small.....i live by the rule "bigger is better". i lizard cage is 3 times as big as the "minimun"!!!!) and most of what i find in like 20 in. which isnt much bigger. evn thought he will be out of cage over 6 hours at LEAST daily, i want the biggest cage possible. i cant be more that 35in with a seed skirt/catcher(what ever you call it...lol). and i would prefer it to have one(to help a BIT at least with cleaning lol.) and as cheap as possible. i am on a tight budget.

that is a nice looking cage. but acually, i just got home from my favorite pet store(havent been there in FOREVER!!!!!) and they have a cage a little bit bigger than that(not much, like 3 or 4 in...) and about the same price. and i wouldnt need to worry about shippingXD. so if it is between those two, it is from the store.....thanks for that though! anyone else, anything?

 

[mrgoogls]

could this cage work good for a quaker? keep in mind, he/she will be in here when a baby(i get him at just under 10 weeks) up until an adult. so it neds to be safe for a baby and big enough for an adult.

thanks guys. but i just found out my dad is buying me a cage!!!! it was going to be for my birthday but then when i was talking to him he found out that i will most likely get the bird before then(in january). so that means money isnt as much of a problem(he isnt spending 100's and 100's of dollars but more than i would of been able to alone) so i think i will get the one at my local store. i just gota take a tape measure there to make sure it will fit. but it should. im so happy!! now that is one less thing for me to worry about..... now just a playstand(i am making), several t stands and toys/food. so happy! thanks guys!

i found out that the cage at my local store has to big bar spacing. so here are a few more options:

HQ Medium Double Playtop Bird Cage - Presented by BirdsComfort.com

EZ Care Playtop Bird Cage - Cages Re-Direct - Featured Products - PetSmart

the second one would probably be a bit better for me. is that big enough when filled with toys for a quaker? the bird will be out most of the day(when ever i am home from school). would that 2nd cage work?

 

[mrgoogls]

hey guys. i am still confused on which cage i am getting. i got it down to a few.

King's Cages - Avian and Pet Bird Cages, Supplies, Food, Toys, Perches, Aviaries, Pluck No More
this one was recommended to me by a parrot store near me. well not *recommended* but they said it would be great for a quaker.

EZ Care Playtop Bird Cage - Cages Re-Direct - Featured Products - PetSmart
this one was not recommender by anybody. but just by what i have learned here this looks pretty good.

HQ Medium Double Playtop Bird Cage - Presented by BirdsComfort.com
again, not recommened by anybody. but it looks good.

out of those what would be the best choice? do you guys have any other ideas?

 

[mrgoogls]

the cage recommended by dishgal1 is also a good choice for me. out of those 4, what is the best?

i like the kings cage, hq, or this one:

A&E Playtop Cage 24x22 - PLAYTOP CAGES by MY SAFE BIRD STORE

the ez care cage, i think it's 18x18

my gcc has this a&e cage with the playtop. she seems to like it a lot.

I would go with the marvelous XL Chateau cage at Petco. The price is great, and free shipping. It is a Big, beautiful cage.

Great choice Artemis.


Marvelous Pet Supplies Chateau X-Large Bird Cage at PETCO

That was the cage I was going to get before I found mine on Craigslist.

 

[mrgoogls]

i got it down to 2 cages i think:

The second cage although it is tall, 26x24" is tiny. Wider is better than taller. I would NOT spend that much for the first cage.

the kings cage has a toy hook, other one doesn't. i think the bird and you would like that feature. what are the cage requirements for a quaker? i thought 24" long?

That one looks good. I like the toy hook thing... you can get perches on top of cages but you don't often have anywhere to hang toys thats awesome.

the *minimum* for a quaker is 18x18 inches. so both cages are big enough. and for the hanging toys above the perch on top, although the one has a hook, right above where i am putting the cage, in the ceiling is the support, so eventually i will hang a mini play gym above it. lol. i think i will go with the prevue hendyrx ccage just cuz it is a big bigger. thanks a ton guys!
