I always suggest this site, but I do it because it really is a great place to buy bird stuff.
www.mysafebirdstore.com has great cages and food, and you get free shipping on orders over $100 and 10% off the first time. Kathie, the owner, ships things out within a day or two at the latest and has great things that you will never find at pet stores. I buy everything bird related online!

Check out the flight cage, I have it and it's awesome.

Maybe this is true of most Pois but my brown-headed parrot is a voracious chewer. I buy him wooden toys that are "suggested" for African Greys, Amazons, and Macaws and he reduces them to toothpicks in a matter of days.

I second GlassOnion; I like mysafebirdstore.com as well. I've ordered from them lots of times; their prices are good and they have a great selection.

Looks great, but I would really suggest some chewing meterials that he can destroy :)

He will be more happier with natural wood perches. :)

Those are too straight and will hurt his feet, natural wood branches that have been picked up from a park and cleaned are much better. Just make sure the wood is safe and chew-able. :)

Aw, it's nice to see the little guy in his new cage. :-)

My birds have that same bird path. My Poi loves it.

I have a Meyer's parrot as well. :D "Jojo". He or she is so much fun even though he prefers my husband...but when my husband is out of the house he always wants me! Michael is right..they love softer things to chew for sure. My little one is not quite a year yet but he is saying quite a few things. He is a true joy. I love it when you are out of eye sight and they start yammering away...going thru their repertoire of words. So glad you are getting a bigger cage...bigger the better...he will be so much happier. Have fun!
