Do the dimensions stated in the bird cage listings include seed guards?
The listed cage dimensions do not include the dimensions for the seed catchers. In general figure an additional 10 inches side-to-side and front-to-back. Using the seed catchers is optional, we don’t suggest using them, they are just another thing to wash and the birds do manage to toss things beyond the seed catchers anyway.

1) I’m assuming that a 32″ wide cage is sufficient. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
 Yes, you are correct a 32-inch wide cage is sufficient. That said we believe there is a general misunderstanding of cage sizes in terms of the content found on the Internet. The size cage that a bird needs is really more dependent upon lifestyle both yours and the birds.

Hi there,
I bought the 18″ d 14-1/2 ” Prevue Pet T3 cage liners. I have used these before and when I opened the 14-1/2″ roll it was smooth paper
The 18″ T3 cage liner has bumps.

I have a question and I hope you can help? My Severe Macaw is 26 months old. I had him in a play-top birdcage until about 6 months ago.
He is now in a dome cage. In the play-top cage, he would play with his foot toys at the bottom of the cage and climb all around. Now that I have him in a dome cage he will not go to the bottom of his cage. If he drops a toy or food he won’t go to the bottom at all. (more…)
Do you know of anyone who makes cages for disabled birds? I’m looking for something probably made of plexiglass for a Congo. He/she is about 7 weeks old. Has a bad right leg. He is standing on his left & seems like he will perch.
I’m going to be moving him into a plastic bucket that I can make perches for. If he learns to perch, I’ll be looking for a cage. It was an option to have the leg removed. I hate to have the leg removed if I don’t have to. It would get caught in any cage bars of the birdcages on the market. (more…)
Hi Catherine. Oh goodness, no, I won’t confront that particular seller, I don’t want to cause any problems or hard feelings, just trying to find the best for the bird of my dreams. Ha, ha, that’s funny about the California cages!
I have a giant stainless steel cage in OK where we live. My husband has Celiac disease, his father has Lupus, and my daughter has Autism so I am hyperconscious about chemicals and allergens. Thank you so much for all the super useful information Catherine, I appreciate all your help! Take care

The State bird of California is a California Quail, the button Quail is about half the size and does not have had plume. Button Quails come in white, silver, reddish-brown, and even speckled colors.
Mitch,Â
Thanks so much for spending time with me on the phone. Very much appreciated.
As discussed, I will be getting a single Linnie. Most likely, it will stay at one. There is a small chance it could expand to two birds later … but not in the plans right now. I just mention that in case it influences your recommendation. Wouldn’t want to have to change cages later in this unlikely occurrence.
