This is my setup so far!
Things might change in the future but so far, I’m pretty happy with it!
Before anyone says anything I know a lot of the items I got were a bit extra and that cheaper alternatives are available but, this is one “big” tax splurge/birthday present!
I'm going to do my best to keep this up to date as things develop!
Cage/Perches
C&C Outdoor Large Cat Cage Enclosure - 4/5
So far I love this cage! With the set up pictured above, I actually ended up with extra panels to expand further in the future.
This cage offers a lot of versatility and would be great for odd shaped spaces or tight spaces that might require a little bit more creativity!
As far as durability goes, I would say that is pretty average for a C&C cage. With that being said... USE THE ZIP TIES! Or invest in additional wire cage supports or else the first time you move it... it will fall apart!
Pros
Weight - Light weight, easy to move and and tare down!
Price Point - Affordable and way cheaper than traditional bird cages of the same size!
Versatility/Customization - This is a build your own cage set! You can go wild and pretty much do whatever you want!
Add-ons - Because this is a C&C cage there are a lot of options for expansions and a lot of add-ons (ramps, doors, patios, etc) that can be bough!
Cons
Durability - So long as your using extra supports the durability isn't an issues. Without the supports... this is going to fall apart the first time you move it!
Bar Spacing - The bar spacing on this is large! 1.65" (4.1 cm). Because of the bar spacing your going to need to get a 2" Fender Washer in order to attach most standard bird accessories. An easy fix but something to be aware of!
Cleaning - Because this cages relies on joints there are plastic pieces that jut into the cage and run the risk of being pooped on. If they are pooped on... You will have to take apart a large chunk of the cage and remove the joint to clean it... It's a pain in the ass.
Corrugated Plastic Cage Liner Base 3/5
This works just as intended! It keeps what it needs to in and what it needs to out! It can be laid flat, and folded for storage if need be.
Pros
It works! Keeps poop and seed inside!
Cleaning - Easy to wipe down and poop doesn't seem to stick to the surface! Water and weatherproof is also a plus!
Cons
Price Point - I, admittedly, did not do my research before purchasing this base! This could have easily been made for about half the price from a local hardware or craft store with a sheet of Corrugated Plastic and either some hot glue or, if I wanted to get fancy, some Plastic Chicago Screws.
Cleaning - While the outside is easy enough to clean, corrugated plastic is hallow-ish on the insides and is IMPOSSIBLE to clean! To avoid dust build up you can use a length Rubber Edge Trim along the top! Make sure you check the with of your Corrugated Plastic before buying any trim.
Perch 4/5
It's a perch, it do what it do. Nothing super exciting.
Pros
It works as intended!
Cons
The shorter perch was NOT pink, lol. Not important to most people but it is important to notes that its defiantly more orange.
Lining/Hammock - 5/5 (I'm bias because I made them, lol!
The lining is simply two pieces of Anti-Pill Plush Fleece sewn to size! Anit-pill fleece is stain resistant, easy to clean and soft to the touch!
Pros
Price Point - Much cheaper then pre-made linings!
Reusable - Simply wash and reuse! No reoccurring monthly expense for something like puppy pads!
Customizable - Make them any color or all the colors!
Easy to Make - For real! Sewing a full bottom lining takes me about 30 mins from start to finish! If sewing isn't your think you could do it tie blanket style or simply cut a piece of fabric to size and call it good!
Food/Water
3 in 1 Cat Bowl - 5/5
I love this this feeder! Not only is it super cute but, it allows you to lock the bowls in place, preventing them form moving. The angled sides of the bowl also really help to keep seed where it should be! This is super easy to clean and the fact that it has two bowls and a gravity feed water dispenser makes it perfect for pigeons!
Pros
One stop shop - because of the two bowls and the separate water dish this works great for offering see, grit and water all separate!
Bowl Position - This feeder has a star shaped grid in the bottom that allows you to change the position of the bowls. This allows you to turn the bowl so the raised edge is facing the water dish preventing water from getting into your grit and feed!
Cons
Seeds under bowl - Because the bottom of the bowl holder is open if there are seeds under it the bowl becomes difficult to lock into place. Not a big deal but it can be annoying to deal with!
Water riser - The water dish has a white, circle riser that is open in the center. It's not a huge deal, Mango got use to it after his second attempt, and it's totally removable!
Toys/Enrichment
I'll make this part short and sweet, lol!
Mango doesn't care at all about anything but his Brick. Bitches love bricks.

"...we could just run away somewhere, the two of us.” (Patreon)
Too many for a single photoset, but since these are a bit on the scribbly side I didn’t want to split them up either ♪ Enjoy the added commentary!
Couple’a cut panels, Max is reacting to Dexter putting his plans in motion here
Very inspired from the ever-so-slightly earlier scene in Helix of Max covering his ears to block out Dexter’s call ♥ Even when things are going his way it’s too overwhelming!
*Summer home. I forgot what he referred to it as lol
Can’t be a meeting if you just ditch entirely!
Surprised by this turn of events, just keeps getting better and better
Of course he had to say something and make Dex mad again haha ♪
Unfortunately his dialogue here was a little too silly for being high and sad and stressed so I had to move it, but he still turned out cute so here it is instead!
Guilty guilty guiltyyyy
Knocked out from the long car trip ♥ He definitely needs it
I love this shot, Dexter leaning in to check on him 💕
He’s so flippin’ cute I fjdsklafd
Very awake all of a sudden, spooked out of sleep. You’re the first ones here, it’s all fine
Head tilts forever ♥
He is still coming down after all
Pathetic, as always
Walked to be within sight of the house so he doesn’t go wandering off
Staff at the summer home?? Sure, why not lol, maybe they’re preparing for the Vyers to come by
