Hot Deal
by bs007
The Deal of the Week comes from one of my personal favorite stores. The site is Demsond's Pet Depot. They offer a ton of great items with amazing prices! Their prices for large cages can't be beat, just try! To top it off, they offer free shipping on orders over $50. Kudos to Demsond's and all they offer us pet owners.
The item I am featuring is a Parrot Play Cage with Stand included. The cage measures 20 X 20 X 58 (with the stand included, 28 1/2 without.) It has two feeder cups, a huge swing out door, 3 perches, a removable grate, slide out tray, casters and a playtop. The bar spacing is 5/8". For only $59.99 any bird would be happy to call this home!
