Re: What type of cage to buy
Posted by Rebecca on 2/21/07

Hi, I saw the same cage at petsmart. I looked at my mom and
said "If that were a bird cage, it would be closer to $400-700 (in
a pet store). It looks just like one." It's outrageous the way
anything that's for parrots doubles in price than the same item
for and other animal. I see dog toys and bird toys that are the
same with very different prices.
