Baird's New Double-Wide Flight and Mating Cage, Perfect for African Lovebirds!

Baird's New Double-Wide Flight and Mating Cage, Perfect for African Lovebirds! Our male African Lovebird, Baird, is thrilled with his new double-wide flight and mating cage. His mate escaped shortly after we got them, largely out of not having a large enough cage. He is doing fine as we entertain him with Bird videos on YouTube and we interact with him a lot. Lovebirds don't often fare well on their own, so this is important. Even more important is to find him a new mate, which will hopefully happen this week. This awesome new bird cage is a wonderful upgrade from the very small 20-inch wide cage our previous lovebirds, Mela & Cotón, mated and raised two babies in. They couldn't truly fly in it, they could just hop around and flap their wings, and not flying regularly is bad for for Lovebirds. The father escaped while the mom was incubating the eggs, likely due to not being able to handle being cooped up any longer. But Mela still successfully raised two babies, Neo & Eva Echo. When they were about a year old and mature enough for mating, the kids started showing signs of distress at not being able to fly free. So we finally decided to set them free, along with their mother. Miraculously, the mother, Mela, returned every day for 6 months! We let her out each morning, and then she would come back late afternoon every day, land on top of her house, and eventually climb back into her house to eat and sleep for the night. This continued every day and we were in heaven, as it was the perfect compromise between having a wild bird, but still getting to have her as a pet. But after 6 months, Mela suddenly stopped returning. The last day we ever saw her was Valentine's Day 2024. I'd love to believe she found her Valentine mate and just didn't return for that reason, but the truth is, we feel almost certain she was killed by a hawk or another predator. It's hard for me to believe anything else would have stopped her from continuing to return. I was heartbroken and it took me quite some time to grieve her loss before I was ready for new birds. But I finally got another pair of peach-based African Lovebirds this past August. They were already naturally mates, so we thought we were all set to start planning for mating. But the female of the pair of mates has already escaped, seeking the chance to fly freely. That disappointment combined with what happened when we let Mela and her children go free, I felt responsible to find a better Birdcage solution. I wanted a cage or aviary large enough that it still allows me to fulfill my dream of rescuing Lovebirds from pet stores, encouraging them to mate, and helping them to be as close to free as possible. Eventually we would love a large walk-in aviary. But until we're ready to raise lovebirds on a larger scale, this McCage 62-inch wide, double flight and mating cage is the perfect compromise solution, for now. It can be used full sized or split with an included divider into two 31-inch wide cages. I'm thrilled it has 62 inches of flight width available. I just put it together last night, which was quite complicated since instructions are sorely inadequate. I had been expecting that, based on reviews, but I prepared well by studying the directions, reading some reviews, and being very organized in my methods of putting it together. It went great. For this reason I actually videotaped my assembly process to help others, and I will post that video separately. This video is the more fun video showing that today, we introduced Baird to his new home. He is in heaven having so much space to fly around and explore! Now we've just got to get him a woman, and I have been regularly singing to him the old Todd Rundgren song "We Gotta Get You A Woman" ever since his mate escaped and since I was able to determine for certain that he is a male. Wish us luck, as we hope to find a new female Peach Faced African Lovebird as a mate for him this week, possibly as soon as tomorrow! Fingers crossed!
