Is this a good cage for a Jardine's?

Let me know which one you think is the best for my little Cougar. I need one soon.

The second one is rather large, but it doesn't come with any bowls or holders for bowls. Also, space is an issue and I don't have a truck to tote it in. Which is why the first one is pretty tempting considering they will bring it to me! I really would like your opinions on the first cage. Thanks.

Sorry for the huge pictures, I wasn't expecting them to be that big. Go by the dimensions in the ad. Thanks.

EDIT: Fixed it, let me know what you guys think

OK, the second one had a bunch of rust on it so I guess it's just the first one that I need advice on.

Be sure to ask why he's getting rid of that cage, especially since he's including all the stuff

Good idea I will make sure to do that

Honestly, I think the first one is the best match. You can always clean all the toys etc... The second one is a better size, but like you said it has rust. You may have to keep looking.

I think you might be right hollyhawkz. It looks similar to the cage I have for the green cheeks but one size up. I guess it was tempting with the delivery and it comes with extra perches and toys (of course I would disinfect them before allowing Cougar to use them). I have her in Drake's cage right now which is why I really am looking for a cage for her. For temporary it is alright, but I would like to get them in their own cages.

EDIT: What would be the maximum bar spacing for a Jardine's I was thinking 3/4" But don't know if 1" would be alright too. Lemme know what you guys think

The second one is even smaller than an HQ flight, which is ALWAYS an option. Just throwing that out there...how big are Jardines?

[hollyhawkz]

It's a play top though, that alone is worth sooo much. I think you are bang on with 3/4 inch. I think the cage that Cougar is in now is fine for a little while, it will give her time to get her climbing skills/muscles back. Good gosh anything is better that that weirdo plexiglass thing.

I was thinking about just going with a flight, although I need a cage that has easy access to the food bowls which is why I was looking for one that has the bowls that swing out. And I think with the flight cage I would need to attach the bowls with a nut/bolt. Would be a pain to clean those.

She is about as big as a pionus, but probably weighs a bit more. About half of CAG size. I'll check out what they have at the bird show before I make my decision. Not sure how it will go though since it is a holiday weekend.

EDIT: Hollyhawkz, it was pretty weird, but apparently they are really popular in Minnesota. I went to Parrot Island and that was their main focal point. The owner had all of his birds ONLY in acrylic cages and even had acrylic carriers. He even said his Hyacinth was in an acrylic cage/carrier. And that his carrier weighed over 40 lbs. That doesn't sound like it's very easy to travel with. I thought you were supposed to be able to carry carriers. . . hence the name?

EDIT#2: With the second one, I just don't know where I would put it (space being the key issue) and how I would get it to my apartment, I don't have a truck. Hmmm, decisions decisions.
