Prevue Pet Products Wrought Iron Flight Cage with Stand F040 Black Bird Cage, 31-Inch by 20-1/2-Inch by 53-Inch

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.

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.

Very impressed with the quality and speedy delivery of this cage. It's sturdy and roomy, with numerous small spring-loaded doors and 2 large latch doors, for easy access to feed cups and cleaning, setting up, etc. I opted not to use the provided casters, but rather secured the cage to a small low rise coffee table, in order to have additional storage, plus no 'stooping' required (which my back appreciates). Money well spent. Only minor issues: the rubber tray barely fits into the bottom and falls out easily (but can sit on the bottom grill instead); and the feed cups do not fit between the rungs of the cage (anywhere) properly, so one of the hooks snapped off while trying to force the issue. Will just buy some smaller feed cups. Overall, good value for the money, nice cage.

J'aime bien ce produit , apart les deux défaut de soudure et le recipiant tiroir ou j'ai pas osé mettre du sable fut sa finesse le reste nickel, montage facile , mode emploi pas en français mais les photo sont compréhensible.

Producto de buena calidad aunque no creo que sea hierro forjado. Es más bien hierro normal. Esta un poco complicado armarla pero una vez armada tiene buena estructura. Me gustó mucho que es muy ligera para cargarla aunque tiene rueditas. Se puede mover fácil de un lado a otro. Las entradas para entrar a la jaula son 4 normales y 2 muy grandes. Me gustó ya que puedo meter lo que sea.

Encantado con esta jaula ! Súper espaciosa y robusta, buenos materiales y acabados y sobre todo cómoda de utilizar para meter y sacar todo y a mis agapornis parece encantarles. Además, añadir que la jaula la he montado sin ayuda y aunque es cierto que entre dos personas es más cómodo y fácil, el montaje en sí me parece súper fácil e intuitivo, así que no entiendo la gente que se quejaba de lo difícil que es el montaje...porque para nada. En definitiva, 10/10 y muy recomendada si quieres que tus aves estén cómodas cuando están dentro de la jaula.
