Lovebird cage?

I am getting a new baby lovebird, and this is my first lovebird. I am deciding which cage to get, and I have narrowed down my choices to 5. Which one do you think I should get? Which do you think is the best for it’s price? Which will a lovebird enjoy the most? These are all in my budget and if none of these, then what cage do you reccomend?

Thank you for your answers in advance.

All of those are nice. I too have a lovebird and any cage big enough for a cockatiel is big enough for a lovebird. The minimum size should be 36″x24″x24″(these dimensions came from my care book for Lovebirds) ofcourse the largest you can afford is great. I liked number 4. I will admit my lovebird also has a play top but once he got use to us he wont use it. He’s either on the floor, the couch, window sill, or us. So I think the playtop was a waste. Then there was the issue of having to cover it at night what a pain in the rear end. If you can get one with a detachable play top (thats the kind I have) its easier to cover them up at night if you plan on covering them..Congrats and good luck with your bird, I trust you’ve read up on these little devils.

By the way I actually saw a VERY nice cage in Petsmart this past weekend and it would be plenty big enough. I like the cage so much I might go purchase it many of my cages are VISION cages.http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2754064&cp=2767034.2769087&fbn=Taxonomy%7CCages+%26+Stands&f=Taxonomy%2FPET%2F2769087&fbc=1&parentPage=family&keepsr=1
