Does the Top wing slide open arch playpen cage and stand have a perch for a bird already?
Nov 27, 2009 by Anna | Posted in Birds
I am getting a cockatiel bird later on today, and i wanted to know if the Top wing slide open arch playpen cage and stand has a perch already so i didn't have to buy one. does anyone own this cage?
Usually the cage comes with one perch but I have a sandy perch and a rope perch in my Grey's cage to give them different material to stand on and also he likes to chew them. The need several toys and a perch up high to sleep unless you get a cozy for your bird. They would still need a perch nearby to get into it. Make sure you have several chew toys. Toilet paper rolls and 3x5 cards are good to chew. They have the kabob that hang which all my birds have love to chew on. Good luck with your new bird.

Fine figural furniture on the wing at North Georgia Antique Auction Jan. 8
06.01.10
DAWSONVILLE, Ga. – Beautiful full-bodied women carved from hardwood and cast in bronze will be the featured attractions at North Georgia Antique Auction's debut sale Jan. 9. The auction house will present what is described as the rarest collection of antique figural furniture from one estate ever offered for sale to the public. The auction includes furniture and accessories from such makers as R.J. Horner, Karpen, Belter, Tiffany and the Shop of the Crafters.
Live Auctioneers will provide Internet live bidding.
“The large majority of the figural pieces came from a longtime dealer-collector from Pennsylvania. It is the rarest and cleanest collection of furniture that I've ever encountered. The owner was extremely picky in what he bought,” said Vincent Lindley, owner of North Georgia Antique Auction and 20-year veteran of the auction trade.
A no. 10 R.J. Horner nine-tube grandfather clock, considered to be the best of the best in tall case clocks, could be the top item in the 400-lot auction. Standing 10 feet tall, the clock features carved griffins framing the movement along with mermaid-like full figures flanking the case and a draped woman crest. The works are signed Walter Durfee and play Whittington and Westminster chimes. The face is marked J.E. Caldwell & Co. The clock is in working order and carries an estimate of $65,000-$85.000, although other no. 10 Horner clocks have sold for as much as $125,000.
Choosing a Parrot Cage: Getting the Right Bird Cage is Important
One of the most important decisions that you can make for your parrot or pet bird is its cage. A parrot cage needs to be large enough to house the bird comfortably when you are not home or can not have it outside of its Cage, but small enough that your bird can not fit through the bars.
There are an immense number of bird and parrot cages on the market today, so how do choose the one that is right for your pet bird or parrot? There are several things to look at when you are deciding on the right cage for your pet bird.
Overall Cage Size
Most people with pet birds or parrots would love to have a huge aviary for their feathered friend. Realistically, almost no one has that much free space in his home. So we revert to cages.
The overall size of a bird cage is important. For most species of parrot and pet birds you are going to want to get the widest cage that your space allows. It is unusual for a bird to try to fly or climb up and down in a cage. Parrots and pet birds would rather climb or fly from side to side.
A wide cage is also important for the health of a pet bird's wings. The parrot cage that you choose for your bird should never be narrower than your bird's wing span. Parrots and pet birds will often flap their wings to exercise, stretch or to shake lose old or damaged feathers.
Cage Bar Spacing and Thickness
There is a such thing as a bird cage that is too big. If you have a small conure living in a parrot cage meant for a large macaw, you could find that your parrot has squeezed through its cage bars or, worse, has gotten stuck in its cage bars.
The spacing between bars of a parrot or pet bird's cage must always be size appropriate. Too small and the parrot can get its beak or toes caught in the bars, too large and the bird could escape.
Another consideration when it comes to cage bars is thickness. Bar thickness should be small enough that your parrot or pet bird can easily grip the bar with its feet, but thick enough that the bird can not bend or break the bars. If you can squeeze the bars hard enough for them to bend, then you had better believe that a hook billed parrot can do it.
