Red face Gir's New Cage! Plus new pics >.<

!!! I found an ad on Craigslist, this couple was selling 3 of their cages- and I bought one for $65!!! Well, his old cage wasn't much smaller, it was about 2 inches shorter all the way around- I can't wait to get him a larger cage, but I couldn't pass up this chance!

When I got there, they had their own little aviary they had built themselves with a tons of zebra finches that also had about 30-40 some odd eggs, little babies in the nests... and then a pair of Ringnecks that also had babies on the way:) They were so sweet and friendly, gave some good hints as to finding rescues that adopt out too;) We'll see if we come home with another little dude!

So... Gir's officially happy in his new home. His younger, yet big, sister is a bit jealous- but shhhhh! She next, she doesn't know it yet;)

I took a pic of his new home and some pics today of my babies, hope you enjoy! Take care everyone

Photoshopped Gaz- I was attempting to be creative with this, it ended up going up on our picture frame wall!

Thank you! Hey... I've always wondered about the story behind Matches having that name:)

please be careful with those open top cages. I have one (looks like it might be the same cage) and I never open the top. It looks like an accident waiting to happen to me. I have heard of birds playing with the top or toys hooked to the top and getting trapped or injured when the lid accidentally closes. I put toys on top of the cage on let them play on it with the top permanently closed. Your birdies are beautiful I would hate to see any get hurt.

I have seen people put a perch cut to length so the cage top cannot accidently close.

haha they look like they're having fun! What a bargain! Great pics of Gaz and Gir. The colour and tone looks really nice and their eyes so alert!
