725.0. "Closet cage?" by UTROP1::BOSMAN_P () Fri Aug 21 1992 04:04

    I will be moving to a new location and am thinking about the new
    housing for our cockatoos.
    There is a rather roomy in-wall closet in the living room, some 3.5
    cub.metres, and this might make an ideal cage. All it need is
    replacing the door with a welded-wire front.
    Does anyone have experience with this?

    Peter,
    
    sounds like a great Idea, Don't forget the Vitalight in the ceiling and
    to cover it with a wire sheild. You could get real inventive with
    perches and such.

    Doug,
    
    Good, so you like it.
    There's big pond in the garden where we plan to make a large climbing
    tree on a small island much like we have now. Also we have a perch on
    the terrace so the Vitalight will be an overkill. 
    In fact I am still thinking about lighting since parrots do like a bit 
    of seclusion but we on the other hand would want to be able to see 
    them. I'll work out a way to get the inside lighted in some soft 
    indirect way.
