At 4:42 AM, this bird cage was loaded onto a FedEx truck in Wilmington, MA and will arrive on my doorstep sometime this morning. It is arriving in two containers which, combined, weigh 119.5 pounds. Because of the weight, I chose the least expensive shipping option, which I think involved forcing it to walk part of the way here. I ordered it a couple of weeks ago and FedEx has certainly been in no rush.
I have been biting my nails with impatience and clicking on the FedEx website every few hours, just in case the containers had moved a few feet. Finally. Today is the day. I am so excited. (And awfully glad that the lad is still here to help me hoist the heavy boxes around.)
I’ve wanted this particular Loro flight cage for my two budgies since last summer and I finally saved enough pennies to buy it. Plus I was fortunate to find a $100 after Christmas clearance sale discount at my favorite outlet. Now my little birdies are going to have a big house with room to spread out. With all the cool toys that I’ve been acquiring for them.
I am going to have such a ball today decorating their new house. It even has a light fixture in the roof for a full spectrum bulb that will bring out their colors and give them a little extra warmth. They’d better like it.
Not that I would be too surprised if Lucy hates it instantly, but I’m pretty sure Dobby will be absolutely delirious. He’s an active boy. They have not lived together in the same cage yet, so there’s always the chance that things might get off to a rocky start. But they’ll have plenty enough room so they can each have their own retreat. They do spend a lot of time smooching through their cage bars, though. We’ll soon see.
I can’t wait to get this set up and the birds installed. Pictures may be forthcoming....
