Just wanted to share the final arrangement of my Lenora's cage. It is three Marchioro cages wired together on one base. As per advice here I just covered every area that had open wire where she might catch her feet.

The final tweek was to add small sleeping ledges, leaping ledges and hammock from Camphorchins. There is also a buddy in her house.

Everything else is in their final locations. Very happy with our water bottle, hay dispenser, chilling stone, tubes, food dish etc.

Thank you all for your excellent help here.

Faye and Lenora

This set up works for now. I had two of the cages already. The only problem I have encountered is that I have to lift off the whole top of the cage to clean the bottom and change shavings. It is hard for me to lift it but if I remove most of the small shelves and the water and hay rack etc. it works.

I would like to get a FN with pans or a big parrot cage with slide out tray next year.

Right now, as you can see, Lenora is zooming around in this cage and seems very happy.

Looks good. I only have on suggested addition, and that would be a hammock to hang across the middle in case she mis-jumps and falls. As elegant and graceful as chins seem to think they are, they're really more clumsy. A fall onto that saucer the wrong way from the top could hurt.
 
Looks great! I agree with Ash too. Add a hammock, shelf, or bridge that runs through the middle to prevent any falls. Other than that it looks good. :)
 
That is a very neat and tidy and comfortable looking chin home.
 
Ooo, ok! I have a second hammock. I will figure out how to position it in the middle tonight.

I love it here on CNH. Thank you all so much.
