ok like i said...maybe you can talk her into trading up in size a bit for a second cage...tell her you will do odd jobs to pay her back...let her know its important and she should even talk to the store people on how important is it to have a larger cage ...etc etc...

good luck...but if you tell her your going to do some extra work to pay her back MEAN IT be TRUTHFUL...

Ya know...it really stinks that these pet stores sell people such small cages telling them they are fine. grrrrr!!! And to sell one that small for not just one but TWO birds???? GEEEZ!!! There oughta be a law.
It would be a good idea to educate those pet store people, let them know that that size cage is just not appropriate.
If you just got that cage, maybe you CAN trade up in size.
Tell your mom to give em heck. lol We moms can be good at that when we want to be.

Check craigslist every day for possible cages. They tend to go fast once someone lists one so you have to keep checking and jump on it.

i absolutely agree on cages that small should be outlawed to sell for even one bird never mind two thats insane really...like being put into a very small bathroom and say this is where you will eat ...sleep...and thats it for you for the rest of your life...

four of those small cages put together wouldnt be enuf even...sigh...no room for toys or a swing or several food cups cuttle bone mineral block what the heck are they thinking.

heck the doors are too small to even get your hand in to do much of anything...
