Playing with the loose screws really made Pepi’s day. Every time I moved the cage they’d loosen and start to come undone. The next problem that I had was with the screws that held the cage together. The result was a pomegranate stained wall and table. I found myself positioning the cage against a wall and a table leg, so that there was no room for the tray to slide. If Pepi held onto the wall with his beak and kicked with his feet – they slid out enough for him to climb out from under the cage. The grille and bottom tray slid into place. Undeterred, Pepi discovered a new method of escape. In a house with multiple birds, the idea of Pepi having his own play space was definitely appealing. The deciding factor for me was an inbuilt external play station. There were two choices in the store in that price range and size. I chose the largest and most expensive cage that the store had available. At least this way I could be sure they weren’t pre-rusted – right? So off I went to my favourite pet store hoping to find the best cage on the market. Unhappy with the range in my local pet stores, I had tried purchasing brand new powder coated cages on Ebay in the past but had got fed up with them arriving bent, missing bits or pre-rusted. Unfortunately, they only last a limited time before you start to get signs of wear in the coating, which leads to rust. Stainless steel cages aren’t readily available in Australia, so his old cage was a powder coated one. I decided to ‘upgrade’ my male eclectus parrot’s cage. Have you ever blown an entire week’s wage on a new indoor cage for your parrot and then discovered that it sucks? I challenge anyone who has done that to refrain from complaining about it!Ībout 6 months ago, that’s exactly what happened to me. ![]()
