Oh I forgot to give the verdict about the spaceship cage: Coco seems to like it, and the bottom plastic sheild keeps all the husks inside no more seeds on the floor. The only thing is that I had to take the grate out of the bottom cos Coco wouldn't go on it she has never had a cage with a grate at the bottom (and actually I don't know why it is there anyway if someone can tell me that would be awesome)But without the grate the food dishes are like an inch higher than the bottom of the floor then the height of the dish itself i think she eats kinda sitting in it although if the grate was there I think the idea still would be to stand on the edge of the feeder but she eats from it so i guess its ok. If there is any reason i can put the grate in now cos she is braver than before and really only venture down to eat and drink.

the grate is there to keep her out of her own feces. chloe likes to sit on the handle part to eat out of her dishes or just dive bomb into them. shes still learning how to work her new lil body lol. im glad i saw you have this cage thats why we bought it we love it! and its so nice that its clean. its kinda funny watching her look out through the plastic though

HMmm but poop sticks to the grate too all the time I see it in stores, and pics and she really doesn't habg out on the bottom, I guess i can try to put it back, she may freak out I don't know , it would not really be a big deal except she has to down to eat. Sigh...I hate scaring the birdy with new stuff. i should have left it in there in the first place but my old cage never even had a grate so i didn't get it and she didn't like it so I didn't know why it was ther and well u can see how I didn't know. Thanks for the info.

Um she had a little accident ba ha ha with the activitoy, shes fine..I almost died laughing.
You can see it on page 3 its a little blue thing with a barrel shape it had a bell inside it spins.
So far she has only used it for leverage moving along the back of the cage. But she came up from underneath and grab it not realizing it spins i heard this whirring noise and saw her running runnin lol trying to get up it but it keeps spinning it was like log rolling. Her wings opened like what the ? And she flew to another perch like all out of breath it was hilarious.
She is into her swing now that i wrapped the bottom in hemp she is trying to get it off, she pulld it up on her comfy perch to hold it steady lol. There are also tabs on the top that spin she like pecking those.
She like the ladder too but not the new hanging one, she wont sit on the swing either maybe she get seasick fast ? Hmmm.
