Best color?

[jimpierce7]

What color have you found to be the best for cages? As far as showing off what is inside? I was talking to the breeder where I am getting Sophie (I am sooooooooo ready for her to come home) and was talking about painting my cage white. He suggested black shows what is in the cage better drawing less attention to the cage itself.



I do believe that Sophie is now weened and as soon as I pay the last installment in two weeks.................

Black cages show a lot of dust, especially if you have dusty birds (I don't know about Eclectus, but I'm sure someone else does)...

I currently have a black cage for my CAG; he used to be in a white cage...I like the black a lot better, even though he is a dusty fellow.

I do not like dark cages at all. I have a black and a hunter green and they both show dust and droppings as though you were shining a bright light on them. I have found that I like the granite or champaign colors best. As far as what goes best with the bird, that never really concerned me as I'm not much on decorating and fashion. If I wanna show off the bird, I'm gonna take it out of the cage anyway. JMO.

i have gray cages(grey/black antique coloring) Which I like very much.
I have two white cages, that do show the colors of the toys very much, however, when they chip, its very obvious!!!
I have two green colored cages that I like also.

I ordered Emma Lynn a Avian adventures Ruby red gloss cage. I will probably not like it because of the dust factor. I have three greys, and three tiels. My bird room is pretty dusty. However, the ruby red will look very good with her pretty red butt
i also have a red carrier...for the same reason**LOL**
My little girl is a fashion Diva....weather she knows what that is or not

Interesting... I have 2 hunter green, 2 white and a grey cage... (dark grey). I would have to say that I really like the dark grey and the green best. Why? Well- even though they are dark, they are not black black, if that makes any sense. While the white is nice and neutral, it gets dirty VERY easily, I mean, it shows every little spot. The grey and greens dont. Also, even with the dust factor, I didnt see my grey and greens appear to show much dust... (I currently have a grey, and I did a long term foster on a goffins too). Also, when the cages chip on the darker colors, its not that obvious...
I really like the darker colors better...
Try to get a cage in a "vein" color- silver vein, black vein, etc... that way its not stark. My green cages are a green vein- hunter green with a nice slight silverish white vein. While it hardly sounds noticable, if you compare it to a stark green cage, you will notice the softer tone. Most cages are avialable in vein colores.
