Parrot cage?
 

i've just got a parakeet, he's a lot bigger than a budgie but a bit smaller than a parrot, he came with quite a large cage....BUT i want a bigger one

does anyone know where i can buy a large parrot cage from, i dont want to pay a fortune for one though (although i may have to)

one that stands on the floor would be ideal, although this cage is extremely suitable for him i would feel better if he had a LOT more room

any advice would be helpful

Cheers :D

Try Freecycle Flashy, you never know....:)

Re: Parrot cage?
 

I once went into an old mill near Skipton in 1976, and they sold parrot cage bottoms, a great pile of them, and nothing else, for only twenty pence.

I hope this might be of some help to you.

:D

Re: Parrot cage?
 

pmsfl, cheers for that Gary


Caz, i will ask on freecycle, thats if i dont get rollocked again for posting on there(dont ask)

Re: Parrot cage?
 

Have you tried asking the bird?

He might be able to tell you of somwhere that sells them.

Re: Parrot cage?
 

HAHAHAHAHA, he doesnt say anything, all he does is whistle...which is hilarious when i whistle back and we are whistling for about 5 minutes none stop


he's taken a liking to my Ryvita too, and brown toast

Re: Parrot cage?
 

Pity you got rid of that chest, he might have fit in there.

Could'nt resist it.
Retlaw.

Other than pets @home near b&q in blackburn
there is the pet shop on Bridge st ramsbottom that sells cages of all sizes along with birds etc

Re: Parrot cage?
 

Very apt off someone called " polly " no pun intended .

Re: Parrot cage?
 

Try the Range at Blackburn, they have a large pet area and if they havent got one maybe they would order you one

Re: Parrot cage?
 

ah i never thought about the Range, i'll have a wander down on my bike today and see if they have any in, cheers

Re: Parrot cage?
 

I do believe i saw some large cages in The Range the other week.............i remember threatening the kids with them...:D

Re: Parrot cage?
 

Clitheroe Auctions on a wednesday evening :D

My mum and dad went recently and saw HUGE parrot cages going for a small fraction of what they were worth. They are second hand but some of them were in excellent condition and went for next to nothing

Re: Parrot cage?
 

second hand would be good

Re: Parrot cage?
 

Its the same place as the Sunday Car Boot, you might be able to pick up a bargain there :)

Re: Parrot cage?
 

We're thinking of getting a new one, just haven't got round to going and picking one yet.
It is a large one, stands about 5 foot high, needs some new perspex strips to hold the food pots in though, they two end ones have cracked.

Re: Parrot cage?
 

you selling it Kenneth?

Re: Parrot cage?
 

Don't sell anything to people who call me kenneth :mad::D

Re: Parrot cage?
 

lol are you selling it KEN??? ;)

Re: Parrot cage?
 

We haven't got a new one yet, been mentioned a few times but never got round to going out to look for one. Would imagine we will have a new one in 3 or 4 week if you can wait till then, might even be too big for your parakeet - see what you think.
These are approx sizes
45cm deep
80cm wide
100cm high (cage area)
Total height 150cm
4 feed pots, top opener with perch, doors front and back
Arched shape to top.
White frame but bars are stainless, its on castors but the threads are worn in one of the legs so have to be very careful when moving it
I'll see if I can find a pic of one.

Re: Parrot cage?
 

Similar to THIS but in white

Re: Parrot cage?
 

the actual cage space is a similar size to the one he already has, it looks lovely though, how thick are the bars on it? with him being smaller than a parrot he might have trouble getting around it with his beak being smaller


i like the one in the pic though, it would look lovely in my living room :D

Re: Parrot cage?
 

There about 3mm bars with a 2cm spacing, there not big thick ones like they are for Macaws etc

Re: Parrot cage?
 

If you do go for a large cage just make sure the bars are horizontal, lot of the big cages have vertical bars, there OK for a Macaw but even the African greys struggle climbing them, anything smaller wouldn't stand a chance

Re: Parrot cage?
 

thanx cocker

Re: Parrot cage?
 

I know someone who is selling this.

£40 they are after, if your interested I can see if they still have it.
