The cage is as pictured but the picture doesn't include the seed skirt (the stretchy fabric that covers the cage to prevent mess) - this is Ducky. Id prefer someone experienced with birds. He is my baby and I hate to have to do this but I have no choice. Hes friendly, he is 2 years old. Hand raised. He knows several songs and needs someone that can give him plenty of attention. Price is firm for him, cage and all cage accessories as well as the food he has been eating.
