So, does anyone remember when I was deciding on a new cage for Einstein? Well, I've finally come to a decision. I'm actually going to buy two new cages. One for the budgies, and one for Einstein.
I chose the elite-pets flight cages: http://elite-pets.com/A36.asp
I chose it because after reading around on the board, I found that longer cages were better than higher cages. The cage is missing come features though, like stainless steal cups, the cup doors that slide rather than have a latch, and there's no seed catchers.
But, the cups can always be replaced, and I can always buy those little metal things to keep the doors closed.
I think the birds will enjoy them. And they will match, which will look really good.
They have a similar model at petsmart, but for a hundred more (for the black), plus it doesn't ship in Canada. At least this company is Canadian.
Anyways, some more updates.
I think Einstein is going through puberty. He opened his wings and I think he was doing the nasty to my shoulder. It was kind of awkward, so I put him back in his cage to cool off a bit.
I recently replaced the regular wooden perches in all the birds cages, to rope perches, and various different types of real branches. (All bought from petsmart).
At first,the budgies were scared of the new branches, and only stayed on the rope perch. (They know what rope perches are because there is on in Einstein's cage, and whenever they get the chance, they sneak in and perch on it.
2 days have passed, and they finally love them! Nothing like the feeling of real bark under their little feetsies.
I also bought Einstein a couple more toys, and he FINALLY has a favorite. It's almost exactly like: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.j ... ys+to+Shop but with a bell on the bottom. He shakes it, he chews on it and I bet he could play with it all day! I'm definitely going to be buying more of them.
Another important update, Einstein has become less picky, and is actually enjoying eating his fruits.
