My cockatiel PeeWee is adjusting to his new home after 14 years in a small cage! All this time I didn’t know he should have been in a larger cage! I’m glad he is adjusting to his new home. I couldn’t transfer him by hand because he has been a shut in all this time. So I used my kitchen tongs to carefully grab him and transfer him into his new abode. He did just fine, the tongs really worked because sometimes cockatiels are afraid of hands. I love the color of this cage. His prior was black, so wanted a change for myself as well. I love how this cage is on a stand with wheels! Now I can wheel him in front of the window or anyplace also I want! This is really a well made cage, not flimsy, but strong and the latch is great! High quality and beautiful!!!
