Gear our flock actually uses

The gear I actually use and recommend for my own flock.

Cage

The front is all glass doors, so you can watch your budgies without wire in the way.

Feeder

No-Mess Automatic Seed Feeder

Catches seed shells in a pull-out tray you can empty from outside the cage.

Travel

Clear window and a built-in perch for calm, safe trips to the vet.
