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

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.

Have you tried asking the bird?

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

Clitheroe Auctions on a wednesday evening

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
