Brownie and his mansion

[Brownieluv]

Thanks to my boyfriend Kevin, even with a not so great camera phone I think these pictures portray Brownie in his home pretty well. Hope you enjoy.

I'll try again tomorrow.

Trying again to load his pictures! :-)

Great cage! If you don't mind, where did you get such a great cage? Is it big enough for a pigeon pair?

Wow is right. What a terrific home for Brownie. I love the flat side that can be placed at a window or against the wall. Thank you for sharing.

Here's my precious baby. (Kevin says I've turned him into a mama's boy.)

Thanks Mr. Squeaks. What makes it even better is the matching flight suit, so he can fly around the house.

Brownieluv -- Brownie is a handsome fella, a king in his palace! I would love to purchase a similar cage for my pet hen and her mate. From the way you describe it, Brownie feels like the cage is home base while also enjoying free flying around the house. If you have a chance, let me know the manufacturer of the cage or where I could purchase a similar cage.

I'm writing you a long message, which I'll post later! Short answer is getbirdstuff.com. The cage is 6 ft high. They call it a hexagon, it's really 5-sided with two sides flattened out so you can put it against a wall. 40" x 40" are the other "two" dimensions, but it's larger across because of the 5 sides.

I'm too new to the pigeon world to tell you if it's large enough for a pair. (Do you mean nesting?) I plan to adopt a second bird for a companion for Brownie, and he's not getting his own cage!

Hi Terry! Nice to "see" you. I've been reading about your babies in your post, how exciting.

Now you can see "your" Brownie is in a happy home.

BrownieLuv,

Absolutely gorgeous. What a generous gift from your mom and dad. Good luck with Brownie...I'm sure he feels like a king!

Dekebrent, We exactly crossed paths! (Look at the time stamp of our messages.) Good luck with the cage; I'm thrilled. Very nice owners of the company, they began as breeders themselves I believe.

Talk to Sheila, tell her Shoshana from L.A referred you. Right now I'm miffed because the cage is on sale for substantially less than what I paid!

2 birds? I would think so. I researched a lot and found virtually nothing larger without a $1,000 pricetag. The cage is 6 ft. high (a lot of room to "hover" and create wing windtunnels)

It's a really well-designed cage, both for us and for Brownie. It has 2 large pull-out trays that are very easy to access. (to clean) The grates also slide out so you can clean them without falling in.

It comes with large seedguards that Kevin hasn't installed yet. (He worked really hard building it, and we don't need the seedguards very much.)

Don't believe when they say "some" assembly required! It's 100% assembly required, you definitely need someone who knows their way around a tool belt! And has muscles!

Matching Flight Suit??? Well, yeah, maybe he IS a momma's bird! Definitely falls into "our" definition of spoiled rotten pigeon! Actually, Brownie may take the prize with that mansion of his! Talk about the "Beverly Hills" of the pigeon world!

WELL DONE, Brownieluv and Kevin! A lovely home for a very handsome and beautiful pij!
