This is a serious question and not just for fun. As someone with a business I am interested to know...

If you could chose any colour for a cage what would it be?

 White and grey - The black one's are a NIGHTMARE! 

White!  I love white, it always looks so clean and fresh (as long as it is clean and fresh!) Colours that correspond to peoples decor would always be popular as well as colours that you don't normally find when buying a cage.  A pale, capuccino brown would be nice, pale to discuise the dust but would contrast well with a lot of peoples rooms and obviously it is a little different, my room is predominatly browns but my accent colour is teal, I would love a teal coloured cage - it would fit in perfectly!  As already mentioned - purple as well as red would be popular as well I think.  I would look at current colour trends in interior decoration if you want to supply something a little different, I think it would be very popular, I was looking at a used cage today actually (just got a little baby lovebird last week!) that was going cheap but was rusty, so I called a local powder coating company for a quote and just automatically said I would like white but you have me thinking now....

 Depends on the cage Ian. I have a few Montana's and they seem to last forever!A friend has an older one of mine, which was 5 years old when I bought it, I had it for 3 years, it's now been 2 years since I sold it and it's STILL going strong!  Saying that the newer Montana's dont seem 'quite' as good as the older one's, but so they say - Nothing is built like it used to be!

Definately the cheaper the cage, the more often you can expect to replace them.  If you pay less than £80 - £100 for a brand new cage (larger cage that is), expect to replace it within a couple of years easy, despite how well looked after it may be. Been there, done that!
