Some opinions on this cage?

[FloorCandy]

Hi everyone, my new CAG came with a very small cage from his previous home, I would judge it as a cockatiel cage, but in all honesty my tiel had a larger cage. Anyway, I have been shopping around for a new cage, I didn't want to jump into anything as he seems content with the current one, and gets lots of out of cage time anyway, but I do not want to wait too long. I read all the cage comparison links everyone posts on here, so now I have my own potential purchase to ask opinions about:

Bird Parrot cage Macaw Cockatoo African Grey Q32-3223 S - eBay (item 180387231916 end time Aug-21-09 2007 PDT)

It seems like a good size for a CAG, and it says it has wrought iron bars that are powder coated. It seems like a good bargain, similar to one I saw at Petsmart, but much less expensive. What does everyone think?

Hey that's nice. I love play tops and I like that it has a hanger for a toy up there. I have been told over and over that that is a good size for a grey... I always thought they needed a giant cage! They bottom is nice because there is a shelf. I wish ours had shelves! Looks good to me.

Isn't it exciting buy cages and stuff?

That looks like a great cage - and i really like how you can move the playtop to wherever, really good idea .

Yeah I really liked the movable playtop, I can set him up in any room, depending on where I'm at.

Would this one be better it is taller, but same length and width.

The downside is that it does not have the shelf or cool removable playtop, but that is only human aesthetics, if he would prefer the larger area I will go with that.

OT(and sorry for jacking the post lol)
but why on earth do they advertise small cages like that for MACAWS it's so misleading to new macaw owners I am sure. I would hate to get that shipped and find out my B&G mac can hardly fit.

It's like that for all cages they advertise for birds that are too big for the cage.

You would think they would want to say "ooh this ones not big enough for a macaw here buy the 8 ft by 8ft cage for 2000$ instead"
