Bird Cages?

My kids want to get a Parakeet and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to buy a cage from thats pretty cheap.


Thanks,


-Derek

well of the top

for a parakeet cage petco,petsmart and craigslist would all be pretty cheap. I would look for hand raised parakeet to or maybe a cockateal not to much more under $75 or so but much smarter imo

cocketeils are awesome!!! my aunt had one but they will need a decent size cage. i have finches which i am in love with. they fly around in there cage and the male sings such a beautiful song to the female while she leaves him to get food. there not good for handling though. parakeets are hard to get to be tame unless you get them as a baby or from someone who has already tamed it. please!!!!!!! dont buy a small 1'x1'x1' cage it so mean. for my finches i actually got a parrot cage but its got good length. its a 25"x21"x30". for a parakeet i would say a 18x18x18 would be the minimum maybe a a 15" depth would be fine. be prepared for the occasional loud chirps. good luck but id say craigslist, petco,petsmart,then local shop because most of the time there the highest but idk where you go.

I have 3 or 4 cockatiel sized cages. I have 4 birds so I ended up just getting a professional 3-stack instead of cages all over. PM if you are interested. A cockatiel that was hand raised is going to be a good bird for you and the kids. Just remember that they need to be held and played with daily.
