Tammy,
I don't have any birds but think they are great.
Is there a freecycle list for your area?
On mine they have given away all different kinds of stuff for birds, including cages.
And on my lists you are allowed to post "wanteds" so, that may be the case by you too.
I will check and see what lists there are for VA and email them to you.
This could also be a way to find some more chinese lantern
seeds.
Freecycle is very interesting. I went to pick up an old sandbox (over 35 years old, made out of some kind of study man-made material, and the person also offered me two miniature (cast iron/wood) partk-bench style benches and a matching table. Needs sanding and refinishing or painting. Going to be my project. I will try to take a picture of before and after.
It was a winning situation, they were going to the landfill if I did not take them...
