302.0. "Flight cages" by RIPPLE::DEAL_EI () Sun Jan 07 1990 12:08
Has anyone bought a flight cage from Corners Unlimited? I am looking
at a current copy of The Canary & Finch Journal and they are
advertising a flight cage 78 1/4 x 60 3/8 x 30 3/8. It has a door
in the middle measuring 18 3/8 x 48 1/2 inches tall. The flight
sits on wheels and looks very square, utilitarian, ok, it's ugly!
However, it's exactly what I need -- but for $295 plus shipping,
I want a sanity check. Has anyone purchased one of these? Where
are the doors for feeding, the photo makes it look as if there are
none and yet, it doesn't make sense to enter the flight to feed.
Appreciate any advice, with regards,
Eileen

| I bought the one with no bottom and placed it on the floor. slide
it around for cleaning. took 3 days to assamble and I added my
own doors on the side for feeding. ran out of washers & screws
too. can not use electric screw gun due to strip out of wholes.
looks great and is very easy to keep clean.

| So what you're saying is that it comes with no feeding access??
Did you cut into the panels or what? I'm not the least bit handy,
and would be afraid of destroying the cage! Since you ran out of
parts, had to create an alteration and don't use the entire system,
do you still think it was worth your investment?
thanks for the help!

| What you see is what you gets. Yes I cut into the panel wires I
usually build things myself and found that this was a cheaper way
to go than to get the individual parts. I also had to pre drill
the holes and that is not in the instructions eather.

| 302.4 | don't think it's for me | RIPPLE::DEAL_EI | | Thu Jan 11 1990 18:51 | 9 |
| Thank you for the input. I don't think I have tools or expertise
to drill and/or modify. Perhaps this isn't the solution I thought
it would be.
Much appreciate your correspondence.
With regards,
Eileen
