Prevue Pet Products Park Plaza Bird Cage w/Dual Locks- S, Cocoa Hammertone

I have owned this flight cage for one month, and I have to agree with those who have given it positive reviews. I currently house five finches in it, including a tiny bronze winged-mannikin, and there is no way for them to escape, provided you assemble the cage correctly and it is not damaged. Now, as for bent wires, there will probably be a few when you unpack the pieces. The directions even warn of this. But I was easily able to put them back in place with a pair of pliers. And I am NOT a handy, tool-oriented sort of person. Nor am I particularly adept at assembling things, but I was able to put this together largely by myself. I did, however, need a second person to hold pieces in place for me at a couple of steps in the process (the instructions are correct in indicating where you will need assistance). Assembly itself took about an hour, maybe, and I ran into almost no problems. The trickiest part to assemble is the roof, but with a second person holding pieces in place, it came together. And it left no spaces wide enough for finches to escape. The only part I had a bit of trouble with was getting the wheels into the casters, as you need to hammer them into place, but my 60+-year-old mom was able to do it no problem, so maybe I am just weak :). I LOVE all of the large and small doors that allow me access to various parts of the cage. The two large doors on the front unhinge and swing out to the side, and I am able to fit the entire upper portion of my body into the cage. They both latch easily, once you get the hang of it. In addition, the large doors have small access doors on them that slide upwards (typical of the kind you would find on many bird cages). The cage also has two of these small doors on each side, one upper and one lower. No doors on the back. I have had no problem using the standard water/food feeder in these openings. The cage comes with its own food/water feeders, which attach to the horizontal wires within the cage, and can go almost anywhere you want to put them. I love to use these for food. The tray at the bottom slides out easily, and I have found that it just fits inside a large black trash bag, so that I can slide it into the bag to dump out the substrate without much mess. Above the tray, there is also a removable grate (just don't remove both at once--then there is absolutely room for finches to escape!). I have found that I can clean the grate without needing to remove it, since the bottom cage door is so large. Now for dimensions. It is true that finches prefer horizontality to verticality, so length is important. There is ample length and width for several finches (NOT 20+, though--this would mean serious overcrowding). My societies make use of the entire cage, top to bottom. My gouldians prefer to stay at the very top. I am sure it just depends on the finch. I originally housed zebras in this cage, and they also only used the top. For such a large cage, it is extremely mobile! Provided you have the space to maneuver, it is quite easy to push it around the room (if vacuuming, for example), thanks to the wheels on the bottom. Finally, this cage is STURDY. It is made of much stronger, more durable material than my previous 18 x 18 x 30 Petco flight cages. I was hesitant to buy this model because it is a bit pricey (there is, I think, another Prevue flight cage that is generally cheaper and periodically on sale), but I really like the decorative aspect of the sloping roof. And I think the finches appreciate being able to get to the very apex of their environment, which they are able to access via the manzanita perches I placed up there. Very happy with my purchase.

I didn’t think I would like this based on the reviews but I got it anyway. It actually ended up being a bit big and overwhelming for my parrotlet at first but I will probably upgrade eventually because he doesn’t really spread his wings enough in it or fly in it. But it didn’t come damaged and it was easy to assemble and it’s easy to move around. I don’t use the skirt and it’s just fine. Overall a good pick at a good price point for a small bird.

FUNCTIONALITY: I got this cage for a baby sun conure I bought from a breeder. It has a lot of great access doors (3 on each side and two in front). I closed off the extra access doors on the one side using lava perches and branch perches which worked well. It is a big cage for a baby but since these birds live 25+ years, she will grow into it. APPROPRIATENESS: This is a good cage for multiple small birds like parakeets or finches or 1-2 medium birds like conures or cockatiels. Also good for smaller parrots like amazons, but you are going to want something with thicker bars for a large parrot like a macaw. ASSEMBLY: It comes with three perches which are very easy to install that go full cage width. It also has 4 double feeders where you can put food in one side and water in the other. The assembly does require some analytic skills since the parts are not marked; but, if I can get it together with the "help" of my six year old, it can be done. It only took me, despite the "help", about an hour to get it together. It recommends two people for assembly, which is probably not a bad idea since you have to interlock pieces and hold them, but I managed using long twist-ties to hold the sections together. The toughest part is getting the top on because you have to have six hands (or twist ties) to hold it together, the rest is fairly simple. *************************** Update one month after moving my baby bird in: She loves this cage. I have plenty of room to hang toys and have added some additional concrete perches and some of those cloth-and-wire perches. I ended up removing the long perches that come with the cage. My bird refused to use them because they were too slippery for her little feet. I also installed one of the Prevue sun decks toward the top inside the cage for my baby to have a place to rest. I hang her kabobs of fruit and vegetables and pasta bits over that shelf with a small crock underneath to catch pieces. She seems to like the arrangement since she was getting frustrated about losing pieces between the floor bars. I was using one of the plastic dual feeders that comes with the cage but my bird didn't like them at all, probably because they were so small. She kept getting water in the food and it would get all stuck together. I picked up some locking feeder crocks and those have worked out very well. I also ended up picking up some nickle-plated grab clips at Lowe's to secure the front two doors since my little girl was trying to figure out how to get those open. I highly recommend doing that if you are putting anything larger than a parakeet in this cage. Make sure you use nickle-plated clips since most other metals are poisonous to birds. I would also say this cage should not be used for anything bigger than the size of a cockatiel or ringneck so the bird can have enough room to jump from perch to perch and get exercise. You could house two without trouble if they are appropriately bonded with each other. An Amazon or cockatoo would be able to bend the bars and you would have trouble getting one in and out of the front doors. It is definitely not appropriate for a macaw. My bird is in her cage on average about 5 hours a day and has been very happy with it. Overall, I have been very happy with Prevue brand products.

We added three house sparrows to the family this summer. They'd come in for rehabilitation, and weren't quite releasable, but too lively and cheerful and just plain full of beans to kill. So they stayed. We let them fly free in the house except at night, but the poop was an issue, so we needed a nice cage with lots of room for flying. We needed to do it on a budget. This cage is just shy of 18 cubic feet. Comparably sized flight cages usually cost twice the price. The cage arrived promptly. The flat-pack box was sturdy; it had been augmented with heavy-duty cardboard corners and strapping. Though bulky, this was not terribly heavy. The contents were in good order and complete; most were in poly bagging to protect finish from abrasion. The instructions contained a clear list of parts for a check. One of the double-size seed cups had its lug caught in a bar and snapped off; rather than calling the company, I just crazy-glued it (use the gel kind...). This the kind of simple plastic that bonds very well and the break is not even discernible. The cups weren't bagged and that may have been the problem. Assembly is straightforward. Prevue's instructions say this is a two-person job and that is absolutely correct. The instructions also say have a needle-nose pliers handy -- also correct. Some wires are a bit bent, some need to be adjusted and so on. Assembly is more time-consuming than complex, but no more difficult than flat-pack furniture. The picture showed wheeled castors; our cage came with ball-casters, and that is nice. This thing rolls about well. It is sturdy, and a bit of occasional fine-tuning with an allen wrench should keep it that way. The doors and latches are simple, but adequate. I am less thrilled with the food-dish &c. access doors; they are spring-loaded and the springs strike me as a weak spot. Also, service units -- bird baths, some feeders -- may prove a problem (not tested yet). On the other hand, there are six of them.... I suspect I prefer guillotine-style hatches, but we shall see. I expect that, though this is a much larger and less easily moved cage, cleanup will be easier. The tray works well with kraft-paper mats (cut your own, they're cheaper). The lower grill is easily moved in and out. The 1" pine dowling perches are not bad, but I added some smaller ones suited to the sparrows. All of them get covers -- sandpaper, or cloth -- for better surface texture and easier cleaning. I have also added some crosswise perches. I think, however, were I using this with larger birds, I would omit the supplied perches in favor of less obstructive one side only perches. I have ordered some for testing. The birds seem happy; they are still thinking about the lower end of things, but five times the cage space is OK, it seems. UPDATE: The sparrows love this cage. We give them a couple hours at the end of the day to fly free in the house; they have taken to going back into the cage on their own when it gets dark. With a couple rope perches and a nice natural-twig perch added, and a couple snuggle huts and so on, the birdies do not seem bored. The cup with the broken lug did become a problem. I asked Prevue customer support what might be done -- they sent a new one. This is a good thing, since the birds find these cups with their built-in perch just dandy. One of the sparrows actually sleeps in one side of the two-partition cup -- just her size and shape. One of the best things I've done for the birdies, I think.

5 stars for loving the cage design after assembling and 5 budgies love it also. Flexibility of door sizes and location, see excellent, I use brown craft paper, 55lb from bulk roll ordered from amazon, most economical so I can change paper daily, like the pull our tray easy to clean w disinfectant wipes and it slides back in under the wired bottom so birds can't touch it anyway. The craft paper is on top of the bottom wired shelf so they can run around easily without tearing or sagging, their feet aren't on the grill bottom this way, nice and smooth. The water & food trays are ample however could only easily hook them on the right side, prongs slid in and our easily. Other sides prongs were slightly off width, son forced 1 first one and broke the prongs. So just try hooking trays on first with nothing in them to assure which location fits easily. Otherwise you'll spill water and food forcing them. It was easier to locate perches swings toys after location for trays fit. ASSEMBLY - 4 stars as some reviewers mentioned directions weren't the easiest and there's an assembly video on amazon below the product picture, which I hadn't watched. Am 60+ yr grandma who does assembly, repairs around home alone so suggestion if you don't have a second set of hands to help. I always do inventory of parts 1st, assuring have none missing or broken before assembling, much less frustrating. I organize them in order of directions with a pencil to check off each instruction AFTER completing, so much easier to resume if interrupted. A picture is worth a thousand words and time saved, find the picture put in front of you, often don't nred directions that way. Mostly, make sure you have zip ties/cable ties from hardware store, these are my extra hands to keep everything from falling apart or moving, but leave a little slack to easily cut them off as needed. rather than assemble bottom with wheels and working your way up from there, I found much easier to lay down bottom on its side, swivel the wheels so it's flat. I then assemble the cage flat on floor and against a plumb wall or cabinet side so already 2 sides don't move, use zip ties.as you go, the prongs from cage sides don't slide out of place that way. After bottom and top ate assembled, I slide top to bottom and assemble,flat on floor then just lift straight up. Didn't have time to edit long post and if it saves some frustration and time for any of you that's the intention. Because some reviews are quite negative, this cage is perfect for smaller birds, width of bars, strengrh, design, spaciousness. If anyone who has larger stronger heavier birds then it's obvious you need to choose a stronger bar design. I suspect some customers choose this one for smaller birds because of very big savings thinking it's spacious enough when in fact they have,to pay more the the stronger bars period. Therefore it's not fair or reasonable to the manufacturer to give a lower rating if their bigger birds are destroying it. I couldn't afford more and I think.it's an outstanding but, my 30 & 35 yr sons do also. If assembled with a bit of slack with screws then tighten them a bit going around evenly you'll find that it's sturdy doesn't wabble. Have some heavier toys? rather than hang on individual wire, I slip a dowel of 3,6,9 inches inside the loop, string, hook whatever and lay the dowels across the wires on top of cage so weight is distrib uted over several wire rods instead of hanging off 1 and risk sagging, in general. If you can't find dowel sizes you need then popsicle sticks might serve same person. LOVE THIS CAGE WELL WORTH EVERY PENNEY NO REGRETS WOULD BUY IT AGAIN AND RECOMMEND. I SAVED A LOT OF $. Suggestion: If you just don't have the patience to assemble ask a customer helper in a pet store if they could do for you, but I don't suggest being cheap w $ either. It does take time but you still save a lot of money paying someone to do for you. If you are 2 persons who work well together ? 45 min if you're alone, count on 1-1.5 hrs. Your feathered friends will love the space and safety from harm.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The cage is designed as a large flight cage for perhaps a half-dozen small birds. There are no gaps larger than ½ inch, so it is ideal for small birds. There is much space for the birds to fly, and four multi-compartment feeding watering trays---enough to accommodate many birds simultaneously and to hold a variety of foods. With modification, it can be used for medium size birds (up to the size of an African Gray or Amazon). Some reviewers complain that the cage (at 53" tall) is not as tall as it looks. Actually, the height may be ideal, particularly for parrots. If your parrot is lower than your eye-level, then you are "dominant", and he/she is likely to obey you, otherwise not. It might be coincidental, but my Senegal, which bit me at least once a month when living in a taller cage has not bitten me since I moved him to this new shorter cage a year ago. The vertical design is convenient for home-owners, but not ideal for birds. Height (elevation) is important to all birds, and socially significant for parrots. Parrots (particularly) will make little use of the bottom half of the cage--unless you place all the appealing toys down there. (But, if you do that, they'll quickly become covered with droppings and therefore become unappealing). Caveat, you can make the top half of the cage a dark zone (for sleeping) and/or warm zone (in the winter) by covering it with a dark cloth---which also encourages use of the bottom half of the cage--in which case, you need water dishes, feeding dishes, and toys in the bottom half. ALTERNATIVES More recently, I also purchased a very similar "ferret" cage, Prevue Hendryx 485 Pet Products Feisty Ferret Home with Stand, Black Hammertone which I find to be more appropriate for medium and large birds, even though the FO40 has some desirable features. > The middle shelf of the 485 makes a nice needed large platform (no middle shelf is included in the FO40). > The removable door in the middle shelf of the 485 makes the cage instantly convertible into 2 cages. > The "lift-out-able" top shelf of the 485 is makes access for cleaning and installing large items (e.g. tree branches, breeding boxes) much easier. > The sliding hatch in the top shelf of the 485 makes easy critter access to the top for playgrounds etc. > The huge front doors of the 485 make easy access or cleaning and installing large items (e.g. tree branches, breeding boxes) much easier. > The small plastic (or maybe metal in some shipments) platforms of the 485 are nice accessories. > The larger bar spacing of the 485 makes it possible to pet your pet's head, and hand-feed him/her without opening the cage. > The slide-out lower platform of the FO40 is much easier to clean (the lower platform of the 485 "lifts" out, but does not slide out). > The feeding doors of the FO40 provide more options for placement of feeding watering dishes (NO feeding doors are included in the 485). > The included perches and feeding trays of the FO40 are a bonus for owners of small birds. There is a larger version of the F040, the Prevue Hendryx F050 Pet Products Wrought Iron Flight Cage, X-Large, Hammertone Black QUALITY Very good construction quality. Mine arrived in perfect condition. OVERALL DESIGN > Except for the odd number of perch poles the design is ALMOST two independent cages, one on top of the other. Indeed, the addition of an intermediate shelf (NOT included) could convert it to two independent cages. Unfortunately, a "home-made" (non-slide-out) intermediate shelf would be nearly impossible to clean regularly. > The cage is an attractive almost "wrought-iron" pewter color. This "night camouflage" color scheme is also perfect for hiding bird droppings. > There are 2 large doors in front, and 6 small doors (total) on the sides. > Three 3/4" diameter longitudinal perch poles are included. > The 4 dishes can also be located almost anywhere, but are most handy adjacent to the doors. > The legs of the cage are rubber tipped--a nice feature if you decide not to use the rollers. > The black plastic waste tray slides out for cleaning. A bottom shelf, above the waste tray does not slide out with the waste tray, but can slide out separately. So, you can slide either out, independently, to clean, with no danger of the birds escaping. THE PERCH POLES > The 3/4" diameter dowels (perch poles) are a bit large for finches, and other small birds---I recommended adding some 3/8" and 1/2" diameter perches. > Nominally, the included perch poles can be placed anywhere within the cage. But in fact, the perch poles cannot be placed near the panel edges (i.e., where shown in the photo) after the cage is assembled (at least not without substantially loosening the screws). So, if you want the perch poles at those locations, install them while assembling the cage. > The excessive number of small doors, and their locations, greatly restricts the placement of the perch poles---especially for large birds which need some headroom and tailroom---the small doors seem to be in most of the prime locations for the perch poles. > The vertical bar-design also reduces the potential placement of perch poles (there are few vertical "stops"). This is another reason I would have preferred a 1 1/2" mesh for larger birds. > The included perch poles are softwood, easily destroyed by parrots. My Senegal destroyed them within a month. THE FEEDING/WATERING TRAYS > The arrangement of the 4 trays shown in the photo is NOT recommended. The lower feeding trays can easily be contaminated by feces. Lower watering trays can be contaminated by both feces and food thrown out of the upper trays. > The ideal location of the trays is all at the same level, in the upper 1/3 of the cage. Unfortunately the small doors are not well situated for such an arrangement. But there is no "law" that says you have to use the small doors for access---feeding trays could be placed on each side of the upper large door. > A medium-size or larger parrot will quickly destroy the plastic feeding/watering trays--so there is no point in installing them if your have medium or larger sized parrots. MODIFYING TO A PLAY CAGE---FOR BIGGER BIRDS I purchased the cage as a play cage for my medium-size parrot (a Senegal). It is not ideal for this purpose, but can be modified. I would have preferred a 1½ mesh for my larger bird to be able to feed him treats, scratch his head, etc., without opening the cage. A medium-size or larger parrot will quickly destroy the plastic watering trays--so there is no point in installing them. A medium-size or larger parrot is strong enough to force open the side doors, so these need to be wired shut or locked shut. A medium-size or larger parrot cannot really fly in the cage, so it needs climbing and other "recreational facilities". I constructed several platforms with 20 ½" long 5/8" diameter dowels. One platform is for a "swimming pool"--actually a terra cotta plant dish. The terra cotta dish is actually ideal for the purpose---1) it is too heavy for a parrot to lift and dump, 2) evaporation from the sides and bottom keeps the water cool and fresher, and 3) the rough surface is easy for bird feet to grip. One platform is for a "breeding box"--I actually just use a cardboard box which my parrot can hide in to sleep, or to get out of the wind, (or destroy for fun) etc. Other platforms are for toys, all connected by several 2' long ladders. The flat top is a good surface for an "outside" playground. I suggest covering the top with a green or black towel---birds instinctively fear attack from above---and are most comfortable with a ceiling. The 20 1/2"-long X 5/8" diameter dowel rods I use are cut from inexpensive "Home Depot" "48-inch hardwood dowels". Softwood dowels are quickly destroyed by parrots. Indeed, my Senegal's favorate "chew toys" are 2' softwood ladders. THE SMALL DOORS > The 6 small spring-loaded doors may be ideal for finches and other really small birds, but are mostly annoying and unnecessary for larger birds. I would have preferred vertical doors which would interfere less with perch placement, and could easily be made lockable. > Presumably, the 6 small doors are for access to the 4 included feeding/watering trays, but still seems to be at least 2 doors too many. > There is no easy way to lock the spring doors (but leave them easily openable) which could defeat a smart parrot. Even a hefty and determined parakeet can probably force a door open---so if you use the cage for parakeets and larger birds, the only practical solution is to permanently wire the small doors (or most of them) shut. A paper-clip may work as a "lock" (if your parrot doesn't see you install it). I've installed a feeding dish ON a door, on the theory that my Senegal will not be able to both push open the door, and squeeze out with the dish in the way---so far, it has worked out very well. Loving Pets Coop-Cup with Bolt Holder Pet Bowl, 10-Ounce << highly recommended, much easier to remove to clean than the included plastic feeders. THE BIG DOORS > Although the big doors are big enough for most purposes, I would have preferred to also have the entire front panels to be openable, for the purpose of adding large boxes or large natural tree limbs, etc. The "traditional" door lock mechanism is barely adequate. ASSEMBLY > As in assembling all such "furniture", initially install the screws loosely (i.e., with perhaps 1/4" remaining to be screwed in), and tighten all when finished. > As noted above, if you want the perch poles to be located near the panel edges (as shown in the photo) install them during cage assembly. > Similarly, although the wheels should be installed last, you may have to lay the cage on its side and use a soft hammer (or a short length of 2x4 to hammer them into place. > There were no "missing holes" (reported by some reviewers) on my cage. It is entirely possible that the holes were NOT missing on those reviewers' cages either. The upper and lower front panels are NOT interchangeable (the upper has those holes, the lower does not). Same for the upper and lower back panels: upper panel has holes, lower does not. > The instructions are fairly good, but require some talent at assembling such things. > No tools are needed except for the included allen wrench. However, there are alot of screws. An electric screwdriver with a hex bit the right size makes the project much easier. > The cage can be assembled by one person, but a helper can make it easier. > It would be ideal if there were removable stickers on the panels "A", "B", etc., but there aren't. However, you can identify the panels with a little logic. HOW TO IDENTIFY THE COMPONENTS Shelves (have no doors and are fully framed {except for top shelf}) G> Slide-in Shelf (just above the black waste tray): The only fully-framed panel with a handle C1> Bottom Shelf (above the wheels): The only fully-framed panel without a handle C2> Top Shelf: The only incompletely-framed panel the same size as the Slide-in Shelf and the Bottom Panel Side Panels (are the only small panels and are the only panels with small doors): The upper and lower sides are NOT interchangeable. Be sure to assemble with doors opening outward. L3, R3> 2 Upper Side Panels (left and right; interchangeable): The two panels with 2 small doors each L2, R2> 2 Lower Side Panels (left and right; interchangeable): The two panels with 1 small door each Back Panels (the only big panels with no doors and with a frame on only on the bottom edge): The upper and lower panels are NOT interchangeable B2> Upper Back Panel: has 2 holes on bottom side of the frame into which bar wires from the lower panel fit. B1> Lower Back Panel: does not have the two holes Front Panels (the only panels with large doors; and have a frame on only on the bottom edge): The upper and lower panels are NOT interchangeable. Be sure to assemble with doors opening outward. F2> Upper Front Panel: has 2 holes on bottom side of the frame into which bar wires from the lower panel fit. F1> Lower Front Panel: has 1 asymmetrical hole on front of bottom edge of the frame--this is for the "bell" (which is installed with the one short screw) which locks the Slide-in Shelf in place. GENERAL ADVICE TO PARROT OWNERS If your parrot is in a particularly uncooperative mood, stand on a short stool---the taller you are, the more "authority" you have. Once you've got the parrot, tightly wrap him up in a towel for at least 15 minutes while holding, stroking, and cooing to the towel---that regresses your parrot to the "baby" mode (smothered under mama's wing), and will make him/her more compliant. Even if your bird does not have the opportunity to fly, he knows he can (or not)---a wing-clipping can also regress an aggressive parrot back to "helpless" baby mode. > Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask a question.

I was looking for a flight cage for my juvenile parakeet. This was a brand new in the box, Prevue cage made in China. It's powder coated "antique silver" (silver and black mottled finish, currently pretty stylish) not the wrought iron listed in the description (since wrought iron isn't made any longer pretty much at all let alone in China). It was well packed but, unfortunately, somehow the very top front and back piece had the paint rubbed and it's a bit unsightly. The cage was definitely a 2 person job to put together. The instructions aren't great - mostly because the pictures are soooo tiny you can't possibly figure out which piece is which based upon those. We knew just because we already have 4 bird cages and have put together our fair share of cheap furniture before. We'd get 2 pieces put together, start on the next 2 and the first set would start coming out (you can't tighten everything until later because you can't fit later pieces in...) We finally got smart enough to start putting zip ties on to hold pieces in place so they wouldn't slip out before we tightened bolts. I strongly recommend this to anyone trying to put it together. The front doors are nice and big - big enough to comfortably work in the cage rearranging or cleaning. The latches aren't my favorite style. They're the kind that relies on one long hook sliding into top and bottom loops. Kind of easy to accidentally leave or knock open. They also have just enough play to possibly allow a tiny bird to get its head stuck in the door opening when the door is "closed" - (because there's enough give for the half inch space to become 5/8 or 3/4). I am probably going to remove the long hook and replace it with a cheap bullsnap, because bullsnaps would allow less opening when "closed" and would be easy to open/close as needed. The side food access doors are spring loaded to close. They could be opened by an enterprising feline, or the springs could wear out. However the wire placement of the cage would easily allow bullsnaps to lock them closed. I have very enterprising cats and a toddler so this is almost a required cage safety thing for my house. The bottom cage grate has a mechanism to keep the tray in place (from sliding out the front) which is going to be nice since my dogs like to pry them out to eat the bird food that drops. It's just a little piece of metal that drops down in front of the tray, but you can swing it up out of the way when you want to remove it. The plastic tray is the sturdiest I have ever seen for a plastic tray. It's stronger than the ones I've seen come in dog crates even, so I'm fairly impressed by it. The bottom shelf is going to be handy, and the half inch wire spacing will make it more usable than the 3/4 inch spacing on my Amazon's cage shelf. The frame of the cage is square tubular steel. There are open channels that wires from other pieces slide into. This makes break down easy but will also make rust more likely in the long run, especially if you like to take cages outside to hose them down. The casters the cage comes with aren't the strongest, but they shouldn't have to be for a parakeet cage. I wouldn't overload that bottom shelf or store anything except the lightest weight materials on top, and then they should hold up fine for this application. I was really pleased with the appearance and functionality, especially at this price!

This cage changed my birds’ lives — and mine. It is, hands down, the best cage I’ve ever owned. If you’re lucky enough to still find one in stock somewhere, grab it. I’m heartbroken that it’s been discontinued and hope this review helps others speak up to bring it back. First of all, this cage is absolutely beautiful. The white finish blends perfectly into my minimalist space with white walls and light wood — no clunky black bars, no industrial vibe. It’s light, airy, and so elegant. I’ve decorated mine with little fairy lights and vines, and it looks like something out of a woodland dream or a gentle fairytale. But what matters most? My birds are obsessed. I’ve had lots of cages and playstands, but nothing compares to how much they love this one. They actually choose to go back to it — after 20 minutes of hanging out with me elsewhere, they’re ready to return to their magical room. I’ve ended up spending most of my time in there just to be near them! That’s how content they are in this space. People often say birds need flat-topped cages, but I’ve found that’s not necessarily true. My flock has always preferred dome or geodesic shapes — they gravitate toward cozy, rounded structures, and this flight cage is their paradise. It’s not just big — it’s beautifully designed, with thoughtful touches that make it feel more like a conservatory than a cage. It gives them real room to fly, play, and live. And for us parrot parents who sometimes have to step away during the day? This cage gives me peace of mind. I know they’re not just safe — they’re happy. They preen, they chitchat, they explore. It’s truly like a palace for them, and I honestly feel bad for ever housing them in anything less. Not all cages are perfect, and I did vet wrap one or two loops. But I have other cages where I had to vet wrap all the loops (closures that might have the tiniest of gaps for toenails to get stuck in— yet I’m extra paranoid) , and Prevue by far has the best quality of any the cages I’ve bought on here. Sturdiness, good construction, and it’s a nice chalky white, not grey like many cages are. If you’re thinking about it, or can find it— don’t hesitate. And if you already have one — please join me in reaching out to the company to bring it back. There is no other cage like this on the market: aesthetic, functional, beloved by birds, and truly life-changing. I’ll be dreaming of the day I can buy a second (or third) one — for now, I’ll just keep telling everyone how magical it is.

As soon as my budgies realized that this cage was theirs, it was like I told a pair of kids they were going to Disneyland. Now I don't have to feel bad on days that I can't let them out because they have so much room to move, and the price is amazing. I found it easy to build by myself, but those who are not as confident in their mechanical ability might benefit from another person's assistance. The pieces are light and the screws are easy to turn. It is not the sturdiest flight cage available, but certainly more than expected for a cage this size at a price this low. I am confident that it will not break under everyday circumstances, especially with budgies. A large bird might wreak some havoc on it, but the bars are too thin and close together for a large bird to use it anyway. I would recommend this cage to anyone with small- to medium-sized birds. Very easy to clean, and even easier if you can trust your birds not to chew up the paper if you remove the grate.

Bigger than expected it is huge I bought it for a macaw could of fit 2+
