I wish I could do that but the manufacturer does not keep me up with
despatches well enough and each one is made to order with personal
variations so I cannot afford to be left with a no payment. Its one of the
improvements in our systems we want to have when we can work out how to
organise others !!!!

One concern just from the site was weight and stability? The other was space
bearing in mind so many people cannot let their birds out at all and would
not know as much as you?
It was difficult to gauge from the info given
