New lovebird cage!

[lolsavannahh]

Woohoo! Merry Christmas to me!! I got my lovely lovebird a new cage, and it's magnificently huge!

His old cage was about 2ft x 1 1/2ft x 2 1/2 ft, which isn't very big... at all..., but I recently had saved the money for this monster of a cage which I believe is
3 1/2ftx2ftx5ft and he loves it! I put in more perches and toys since I took this picture, but I need some more ideas for what to do with it!

I believe it's some brand of flight cage, and we have the same one for my 3 finches too ( you can kinda see it next to it in the corner haha ).

Now I have 1 wooden branch perch on the outside, 1 wooden stick perch on the outside, and a rope perch along the top so I can just open the door and he can climb all over. He is growing his wings to be flighted though, so I will need to move him to a bird safe room, but for now he's in the living room. You can see how big the cage is in comparison to him ( He's in the top of the middle on the left just hanging out ).

Did any of you guys get cages for christmas? If so, show some pictures!

Such a big, beautiful cage!! Lucky bird, indeed! What's on the bottom..some kind of litter.. stuff?

I have cockatiels and they love to chew on hemp/bamboo-y/Rastafarian type products. I bet Lovebirds would, too :)

Saw some of those toys while out at the store today and almost got them, but wasn't sure what he would think of it.. LOL maybe next time I will try it out!

and it is actually cat litter we use, I believe it's cardboard/wood. It's very good for bird droppings I've found and is pretty absorbent. Comes in almost a pill shape, I really like it! ( there's a grate bar thing in the bottom so he can't actually touch the litter by the way ) :P

Does he use his cuddle hut? (Or whatever you call it.) I have one coming for Stevie Nicks and my cockatiel, Woodstock has one. But I just read not to use them for cockatiels because they only use them for nesting and might get agressive. I'm leaving Woodstock's in his cage for now.

We just have a piece of fleece hanging in Casper's cage for him to cosy up to at night. he also snuggles against it when he has a nap during the day. I don't think it brings out the nesting instinct like the cuddle-huts, its more like having another bird to snuggle up to for comfort.
