My birds did not really care for this cage (and i had tried it with a couple of them) and it took up so much room! so as soon as i could i bought a new cage and listed this one on craigslist, within 15 minutes i had approx. 40 emails about the cage and it was picked up within 45 minutes by a very nice young man(who is in college and working so this was perfect for him since i only charged $30.00) for his green cheek conure....he sent me pictures of his conure in the cage after he got it home and got it set up. and he thanked me a million times even though i told him "no thank you for coming to get this huge cage".....LOL.....this is the second cage ive sold on craigslist recently and both times i had tons of responses and both were picked up rather quickly. so if you have used cages and/or bird supplies consider selling them on craigslist....they will go quick!

HI Amber!

I love Craigs List and have used it to buy and sell many items. You priced your cage to sell quickly and it did! And you really made that guy's day, too. Nice work.

That's fantastic Amber! It sounds like you really made that guy's day, what a deal for a great cage! Good job!

Glad you were able to pass a great cage onto another bird lover

our CL goes in spurts. sometimes you see a LOT of birds for adoption, along with cages, other times it's a drought. the cages i have seen have been very expensive (to me).

great job on selling the cage, and great deal for the GCC.

Amber, I have that exact cage that you sold, and it's not working out that well for me either. It's not a very good shape for toys and perches. What did you end up getting to replace it? I am looking for ideas.

Yep I sold my cage of 6 yrs for $100 on Craigslist. I had my cage for 7 yrs. It was in great shape. I paid $300 for it originally. It was a Calif. cage, that did not come apart. Mr. Kiwi will be glad it is gone! LOL Because he LOVES his NEW cage!

I had the same problem... i had perches, toys and a happy hut all crammed in one tiny spot because there was no where else to put them.....lol.....i got this cage http://www.bird.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=502903+WHT to replace it (this was not for my quaker) they do have a smaller version which i also have, it has smaller bar spacing and only 2 stainless steel feed cups on the inside and 2 up on top and it sells for 149.99 w/ free shipping. I like both cage (1 i have had over a year) i do not use the tray in the top part under the play area though. it makes it easier to hang toys and i think makes it lighter in there for the bird. my birds like this style of cage as well.

Thanks Amber for the reply. I have the smaller version of the cage you got also that I use for an outdoor cage. Maybe the larger version you linked would be a good solution. It's hard doing this quest for the perfect cage - always pros and cons. I have a split level house-top cage from eBay for my Quaker that he loves, and it's like a city for him - toys and huts and perches aplenty. But it is not really movable. I had a microwave problem a while back and the vet said to move him to another room, of which I have very few to begin with. (That was before I had the outdoor cage.) First I had to take all the seed guards off and even then I couldn't roll the cage into the bedroom without taking the door off the hinges. So I'd like something as roomy as possible, but that could roll through doorways without taking the house apart. I still don't understand why those dometops are so crowded, but they are. I really do like the split level cage, except for the non-movability, but don't think I could squeeze a second one in my house.

I agree with you about removing the tray from the top to let in more light. I only use mine if its outside, since it gives the feeling of security from bigger birds or hawks flying overhead.
