Thanks for the reply, Linda.  After a few days of no responses I
determined that I wasn't going to get any and kept looking online. I'm
glad you recommend Hagen, because they're the once I decided to go
with.  I already ordered one of these:

http://www.hagen.com/canada/english/birds/product.cfm?CAT=8&PROD_ID=08042610010101&SUBCAT=805

It's big, longer than it is tall, horizontal bars all the way around,
and simple.  I was looking at all of those fancy cages and none of them
appealed to me.  The budgie doesn't care if its house looks like yours.
;)  They all looked really flimsy, too.

I'm kinda excited that I've actually purchased a cage, because now I've
made the commitment and I'm DEFINITELY getting a bird (otherwise I'll
be out $200 and have a cage I can't use).  I've been researching birds
since I was in high school (about 6 years ago).  I always wanted
one of the bigger birds, like a macaw, but I don't have room for one of
those right now.  Maybe when I get my own house.  But for now I'll
start with the little guys. ;)
