Lovebird in Birdy Heaven
Hello, new mom to a GCC here. I have two requests for help.
1- I would like a tall cage that sits high off the ground that is sized for a GCC, we will have her in the living room where we all hang together and we have a large dog (they are never unsupervised and she is never out of cage without him being in a different room). Right now we have this cage that used to belong to our Lovebird:

26"x20"x68"
I like it that it sits high off the ground and am looking for a similar one that sits up high but can be rolled to other areas for cleaning. I would like to find a taller cage and a bit larger with good bar spacing. Prefer a non playtop as we have a separate open playground. This cage is 12 years old and getting a bit old plus it has it's cons.
2- She does not like the large cage, we have had her for 2 weeks and hatch date 4/14/18. I have ropes going up and down and small perches, one or two toys not to overwhelm her. She goes in climbs to the very top and stays at very top. Won't move. Then she flops down (she came clipped) which scares the life out of me. So right no we have her in a Vision Cage which is meant as a sleeping cage so we can take her to a quiet room and she can get 10 hours of sleep or more.
this is not my photo but one for size comparison:
We have been leaving her in there when we are not home, when we are home she is out of the cage 90% of time because she seems to feel safe and happy but of course that is too small of a cage for her. But I worry about her falling in the larger cage when we are not home to help her (right now she is only in large cage supervised). I also have a bird camera to check on her when we are not home. I would love to transition her to the larger cage for now until we find another perfect cage!
I posted this in the conure section but posted it here - thanks!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
