Hi, everyone! I was looking around for new cage ideas for Sammy as his Ferplast Ibiza Open cage has a few spots where the white coating is wearing off (and with his recent heavy metals poisoning we don't want to take any chances).

Well, I found one that I loved, but it was over 200€! I started looking online and found...

The Montana Madeira I Cage

I ordered it on the spot because I've heard such great things about Montana cages! Not only was it on special, but Zooplus.es has a week long no-IVA (tax) offer, so I scored this awesome cage for less than 120€!

Sammy is going to have such an amazing time spreading his wings in his new pad!

Now... how do you go about switching a budgie to a new home?

Thanks for celebrating with me! :budgie:

Wow what a sweet cage. Your budgie is living in luxury! Mine are not tame and when i changed cages a few of them went to the new cage on their own and a few I had to chase down and catch. You can try putting millet or his favorite treats inside to lore him in. Also budgies are curious animals so he may just go in on his ouw out of couriosity

Sammy is going to love, Love, LOVE :jumping: his new mansion!!
Great purchase, Bethany. :hug:

I've never had any problems moving my birds to bigger cages.

I simply removed all the food and water dishes, toys and perches (except for one perch) from the old cage and put them in the new cage.

Then I opened both cage doors, placed them so the doors were lined up with one another and within a couple minutes the budgies would go right over into the new cage.

We'll be looking forward to seeing Sammy in his new mansion when it comes in and you have everything all set up!

Aw what a great cage!! I've seen it on Zooplus a few times and it's definitely a bargain!! I've ordered lots of perches etc from there, but they won't deliver cages to Northern Ireland Darn shame!

Karma to you for upgrading to a MANSION

I also saw that they wouldn't deliver to N. Ireland! What a bust!

Thanks, everyone! I'll be sharing photos when the new cage is up and running

Sammy's new cage was delivered this evening. After hauling 20kg up to our flat (whew!) my husband and I survived one of the biggest challenged faced by newlyweds - having to read the instruction manual and assemble something. We had already faced an Ikea shoe wardrobe, so I thought it would be no big deal to assemble a bird cage.

It was pretty easy, and Sammy was very curious! But our schnauzer Watson started crying when he saw it put together. ("Seriously, Mom. You buy Sammy a whole new home and all I got was this silly rubber ball?!")

Sammy's now in his new cage with new toys and lots of food and water. He's a bit gun-shy, but I'm sure he'll be right at home by tomorrow. Pictures to follow...
