Just wanted to menton that I bilt my berdie home out of a woden squair table. I fliped it upsidown and put plexi glass walls on the sides and a screen top. Also put in tile flooring and log, rock, lights and all the fixens. Bilding the house was cheep The table cost 10 bucks at a sale. The plexi glass was 20 at Lows (thay cut it for free). Tile was three foot squair and on sail for a wopping 98 cents. Of corse the "fixens" to go inside are a bit more expensive along with the lights. But it is possable to but these things slowly over time and then bild your home little by little. Then you can get your vitamins and calcum and cricketts just before you get your dragon. I would recomend that you think about wair you can cut other costs in your life so you can have some berdie money. Feeding and replacement bulbs are a bit of an expence. Also I would recomend trying to get a adult rescue berdie. I personaly got an injurd juvinile from a breeder wich cost 25 dollars (becuse his tail was slightly bitten off by a littermate). My point is you can make a berdie affordable if you are commited. So good luck this can be fun not hard. Lisa and Puff
