You should be able to purchase a travel cage at any local pet store that carries bird supplies. You'll want to find one that is large enough to house all three birds comfortably, and that a food and water dish can be placed in. You'll want the same spacing of the bars as you would a regular cage (usually 1/2 inch or smaller for parakeet and smaller birds) to prevent any injury. You may also want to find a cover that can fit the travel cage as well, as keeping it dark while moving the birds can help reduce stress and anxiety during the move.

Thanks for reaching out about your birds. Quite the dilemna. The answer really depends on the size of the cage, on how long they can be left in it. Out of cage exercise is important for health, just as exercise for humans. Could you limit to the one room? Good luck.

That's a lot of questions! When getting a new bird, it is best to keep them in a separate cage for a few weeks (quarantine) to make sure they do not spread any illness to each other. Once the new bird checks out safe, you can keep them near each other to get used to hearing/seeing each other, and then gradually introduce them, whether on a shared play pen, or in a cage that is large enough to comfortably house both. Make sure you have extra food and water dishes, toys, perches, etc so that they cannot fight over these resources or become territorial. Each bird will have different markings depending on the type of coloration the bird is (there are different varieties of markings) so this will greatly depend on if you purchase a bird with similar markings or not.

This specific coating or paint is safe and is commonly used in bird cages of various sizes. "Hammertone" is just a description of the finish. It looks like the bars were hit with a hammer to give a textured appearance.

You can secure the food dish to the cage so she can't tip it over. Shouldn't be hard to do. Sometimes they will sit at the bottom of the cage and that would be normal. If it becomes excessive she could be sick, in which case, she needs to see a vet. I suggest you put more toys and things in the cage for her to do and play with. She sounds bored. Also, an all seed diet is not recommended for any bird. I suggest you try to switch her over to Lafeber's Nutriberries or AviCakes. There is a lot of good information on their website.
