What is the right home for a cockatoo

[MrBackpack]

We found a local ad on craigslist for some cockatiels, I think that we're going to start with a couple of them and eventually work our way into a larger bird.

Now I just need to find some chicken wire for the big mac cage.

I would be real careful in using chicken wire! They will rust and they're considered toxic as well. They need to be treated first before use. They do sell stainless steel wire mesh!!!!

It's not a permament solution by any means, just something to get by with until we can afford another cage-like investment. From what I know about galvanization, being a welder and hobby-blacksmith, it's zinc coated. That's bad juju for everyone involved. So yeah, just a month or three tops with a very careful monitoring of the rust and general wear of the wire.

I can honestly say my Too`s are the most loving characters I have ever known. They will take every minute of your time if you let them. But I manage to give them lots of things to do to occupy them. I work at home but often need time to work without interruption so they need to be able to occupy themselves. I wouldn`t want any different birds.
