I took a look at the prices of Pet Warehouse (one of the big advertisers in
the bird magazines) and was not impressed. One of the cages I'm lusting
after was more expensive than I could get it locally. Maybe some of the
others are better, but I dunno. My next cockatoo cage is probably an Animal
Environments (I've seen them in action, and I really like them). Not cheap,
but the construction seems to be really worth it.
