Unfortunately due to a change in family circumstances the parrot had to be re-homed but this lovely untreated pine birdcage is now avaliable for sale.
It is easy to transport as it is 3 seperate pieces - none of which are particularly heavy.
The bottom section is on castors and the whole cage can be easily moved as one unit when you have a bird inside. The cage would often get rolled outside for the parrot to enjoy the sunshine on a warm day. *Please note that the cage is not suitable to be a permanent outdoor cage as the pine is untreated and will rot if left in the weather.
The cage can come with some accessories for no extra charge. There is a hanging chew toy, 3 feed/water bowls and 4kg left of a 5kg bag of Topflite Super Sprout (I also have a few other bits and pieces you can have).
The parrot did sometimes nibble away at the inside of the cage. The damage is minimal. She also chewed one of the outside edges in a spot where she would enjoy sitting when she was let out. I have included a photo of that.
The middle section has a square hole cut out of the top and the top section has a hole cut out of the bottom. With the holes lined up the bird can easily go between the middle and top sections of the cage.
The top section doesn't have a fixed perch but I bought an adjustable one which was also a chew toy. It's pretty chewed now but you are welcome to it if you want.
Measurements: The top section: H:46.5cm x W:44.5cm x D:44.5cm
The Middle section has a fixed perch as well as a shelf attached. It has a door with a magnetic stopper and an access door for ease of cleaning the bottom of the cage also with a magnetic stopper. H:95.5cm x W:59.5cm x D:59.5cm
Bottom section: H:61.5cm x W:60.5cm x D:60.5cm
Could possibly deliver if local. Happy for you to view. Please contact Natasha on 027 447 8355
Price: $299

Whether you burn dinner completely or your pans get dirtier and dirtier over time, eventually you’ll need to have a scouring session at the sink. And for this, the quicker the better! For this reason, we put five methods for cleaning a burnt pan to the test. Keep reading to learn how to clean a burnt pan—and see what methods are most effective.
Is a burnt pan ruined?
In most cases, no! A burnt pan can be revived with our cleaning methods below. If all else fails, or if the pan has endured multiple years of heavy use and never seems to get clean, it may be time to part ways with it.
The Testing Method: In an effort to make sure this guide gives you the most accurate results, we put some parameters in place for this skillet scrubbing experiment. All pans tested were made of stainless steel and scorched with the same combination of foods—cheese, eggs and grape jelly.
If the method recommended soaking, we allowed each pan to soak for up to 15 minutes, checking at intervals of 5 minutes and documenting when the charred remains began to lift with ease. We also limited any extra “active scrubbing” to 10 minutes because honestly, who wants to scrub a pan for longer than that?!
Ratings: Each method is rated on a scale of 1 to 5. Ratings were awarded based on how long each technique took to work its magic, how much extra elbow grease was required to remove the burnt-on food and the overall effectiveness in the cleaning process in terms of how much mess remained on the skillet after cleaning within our set parameters.
Cleaning Techniques for Greasy Skillets: Warning: Before cleaning your pans, test the method on a small, inconspicuous portion to ensure it won’t damage the surface. The methods below are intended for stainless steel cookware and not those with non-stick coatings.
Tools and Supplies
Bar Keepers Friend: We tested Bar Keepers Friend for one of our cleaning methods and the results were impressive. It’s a household cleaning product everyone should have in their cupboard since it can be used on a variety of surfaces like stainless steel, ceramic and more. It’ll be your new cleaning best friend in no time.
Dishwashing gloves: Though all of our testing methods require less scrubbing, some scrubbing is necessary. Keep hands dry and clean with these versatile dishwashing gloves. We love that it features a non-drip catch cuff and that they can be used for washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom and everything in between.
Sponges: It’s always a good idea to have a stockpile of sponges on hand for everyday household cleaning. When it comes to cleaning kitchen appliances or cookware, opt for non-scratch sponges. They’re durable enough to get burnt food residue off, yet gentle enough that they won’t scratch or tarnish your best gear.
Method 1: Baking Soda + Vinegar
Benefits: This method uses affordable pantry items most people have on hand.
How It Works: Fill your dirty pan with equal part water and vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil and then add 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Remove from heat and let soak for up to 15 minutes. Discard the liquid down your drain and then use a sponge or scouring pad to scrub away any remaining burnt-on bits. If spots remain, apply a paste made of baking soda mixed with a little water and let sit for a few minutes before scrubbing again.
What Happened: After just 5 minutes of soaking, we noticed some charred bits starting to float to the surface! However, we opted to let this one continue to soak for the full 15 minutes since it seemed some stubborn bits were holding fast. After rinsing and 10 minutes of heavy scrubbing with a scouring pad we were able to lift most of the charred, burnt-on food. A follow-up application of baking soda paste was definitely needed and further scrubbing was essential to lift the remaining debris. Rating: 3/5

Recent amendments have been made to The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Amendment Act to limit nicotine in products and cease supply to those born in/after 2009. Less retailers are to be approved and product packaging made less appealing.
Until March 15, public submissions will accepted regarding these changes, especially around the location and quantity of retail stores as well as the appeal and addictiveness of smoked tobacco products.
