Smile Which cage?

So, I have been debating on a new cage for Sellie, and I have narrowed it down to two cages... here they are: which one do you think is better? I can't make up my mind on one..

HQ-GA32620 - QueenCityPets.com

HQ-8002422 - QueenCityPets.com

If you have any other suggestions, stores, other cages etc. Please let me know! I don't really want to spend over $200 and a seed skirt is a must. I have also been trying Ebay but they don't really have anything I like.

-Thanks for all of your input!

i think the second one is much better...those opening cage tops are really dangerous.

I think think the bar spacing on the second one might be too big?

I have a similar one for the budgies (King Cage though) I have the top zippie tied up so no accidents occur. I hate that cage.

The second looks sturdier. I disagree with Nate on the bar spacing.

I like the second one better as well.

I have to say though that I have used an "open top" cage for Papi for years and Carmen is in one too. As long as its heavy duty and sturdy, I actually quite like them.

I really like the second one too.

for the first, I wouldn't really be using the open top-actually I don't really like them, but It's for the cage top space I like. The only downfall about the two is they have no shelf!!

But I think I am going to go with #2

Bar space of 3/4 should be fine for gcc I think.

Sellie is a Dusky-headed conure its ok, most people mistake him for something else,

Dusky's are the same size/weight as suns.

And yes.. I was just going to ask about the bar spacing... I'm not sure, would it be too big? 3/4 is larger than 5/8....
I hate looking for cages! I can never find a good cage that fits all the needs I need it to have!!! there's always something wrong..
hehe right now Sweet Pea has fallen asleep next to my keyboard... she's so cute!
