Thinking of Upgrading... Cage wise.

[jugoya]

I've been saving for a little while and am thinking about getting a new cage for Porter.

Though I'm leaning towards a cage I can setup as a 'double' cage for the budgies and Porter with a little big of work.

Minimum dimensions would be 20x30x24 for each 'seperate' cage.

So far I've found this one, and I know where I can get a grate that will help me seperate it.. (I use towels for the bottom of any cage I own, do not like grates.

Or I'll just use it for Porter himself.. hoping this time he will accept a larger cage.

Any other ideas?

At the moment my budget is about 120$ - Just took all the birds for their annual checkups early so my checkbook is a little lean.

Or I could save for a while longer.

Any suggestions?

The first cage would be great for Porter. I just saw that you want to split it. It might work.

I just bought that EXACT cage for my budgie flock!! LOVE it!!

I was considering this one for my broto, Mismi. This one is already divided, and looks like each side would be 32x21x64

However, as I only have Mismi, I'm now looking at this one - more affordable by far and doesn't cramp down on space too much. Its pretty similar to the one you're looking at, just doesn't look as deep. I was not expecting to get a bird this weekend, so she's in a 16x16 cage right now, but at 7 weeks she's not too horribly active, so I hope to order the cage below on Thursday so she'll only be in the small cage for a max of two weeks

Problem is.. Porter is picky.
He doesnt like cages that are too large.
When I first got him he had a huuuge cage.
36x36x24
But he would have nothing to do with it..
I tired for six months.
So while I'm pondering the big one he would only be in the top half.
Picky little guy x.x
So I'm reluctant to buy a cage again that he might not use x.x

Oh my goodness! A bird that doesn't want more space? That could be tricky! Does covering part of the cage help at all, like is it a security issue, or just being finicky because he can be?

 

[jugoya]

Security issue really.
He is mostly free range, never in the cage unless we aren't home.

So his cage is like his own personally little 'den'.

Maybe if I get him a new cage each year and gradually upthe size.. he'll not notice as much...
