PH Prevue Hendryx Wrought Iron Select Bird Cage 3151BLK

I’m very pleased with this cage and so is my Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure. The Amazon price is very impressive and especially when compared to the well known chain @ $354.99 and close to 3xs when compared to our local privately owned pet store. I opened the package as soon as it arrived (1-day shipping @ $3.99 with prime) and immediately put it together which took approximately 20 min. I prepared myself for major problems after reading some of the reviews, but assembly was a breeze. Instructions were both easy to read and easy to follow, until I got to the cagetop playstand & corner seed guards. It is at this point that you may need to exercise a bit more patience and rely on a little intuition (use the picture as a guide). Once the cage is fully assembled it is beautiful and works very well to my surprise. I half way expected this cage to be inferior to the ones that we’ve seen in stores, but the inexpensive price does not mean that its cheaper in quality and that was a very nice bonus.

Best Features:

1) Cage top playstand my conure loves it and we love that this play area has replaced his swing and swing stand, which was incredibly messy at times. (the swing is now inside of the cage)

2) Wrout Iron is so nice to have for cleaning compared to plastic on the Super Pet Habitat Defined Bird Cage, Cockatiel Enrichment Home with Activity Center. We hate that cage, but our little buddy loved the smaller, darker space. The cleaning trays are also a plus and there are two sets. One to catch what the bird leaves behind on the cage top and one for the cage below. Just pull them out completely to empty and clean, then easily slide them back into place.

3) Food & water bowls are of great quality and fit nicely into their holders.

4) The corner seed guards are the best feature of this cage. In our Conure’s old cage/habitat he would continuously toss his food onto the floor. Food and snacks are now easily redirected into the cage with these guards in place, requiring less sweeping and vacuuming. (width with seed guards is approx 26.5″)

The transition took approximately 3 days for our Conure and he is now very happy in his new space.

After a research, I bought Prevue Pet Products cage for my Cockatiel in Chalk white MODEL N 3152. It is very nice pet home-cage, here is why:
– GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE:
the cage is on 90 days warranty from manufacturer http://www.prevuepet.com, so if you buy it and something will happen during shipping, you will not stuck with a broken cage, they take care of they customers. The customer service person Dee is very nice. You will make a great investment, if you purchase this cage!!!
– BIRD SAFETY:
The bars spacing and thickness suites requirements of a medium parrot, like a cockatiel, he cannot escape in between, put his head through to stuck or bent them. It is a sturdy contraction, easy to put together, took me 1 hour, if it bent a little in small details, just use wrench to bent it back. It made of Wrought Iron with a powder coated paint – a very long-lasting, durable finish. Mean, the cage parts was electrostatically charged which makes the powder paint flow evenly over the surface of the iron and adhere to it. So, parrots, that like to chew will not chew off the toxic chips of paint or be poison with exposed rusted metal. The points, where bars are crossed, are covered with the paint entirely, so, no bacteria, dust will be collected in between. And, my bird loves the cage as his home, it is very roomy, let him even fly and climb there, if he want too. And, it still will be roomy enough by requirements, if my one bird will be bored and I will get a friend, second bird. wink emoticon Cage comes with best 4 stainless still dishes, that cannot be tipped over, removed by bird. They placed on side small doors, so you may change water and food any time without opening the cage, if you rushing in the morning. I only wish they all 4 will be shallow ones, but they can be purchased for convenience.
– CONVENIENT to USE:
Big door for easy access to reach inside of the cage space! It is on sturdy wheels, so I can move the cage, and, vacuum under it, or, move it to bathroom to clean. Move my bird in cage in bedroom, if I have an evening party in my living room. Move my cockatiel next to a window to keep him exposed to a daylight or sun through a mesh screen, which is important for bird health. And, it has a playground on top of the cage, which is much more advanced, sturdy, easier to clean, and bigger then a separate one on a market. And, it can be removed at day time to use it somewhere else, it has it’s own removable cleaning tray, which is brilliant! On top of the cage, can be used without the tray, so all waist will go through wires on the bottom into the cage.
– EASY to CLEAN:
It has seed catching skirt, so no seeds and poop on the floor, even if my bird do climbing outside of the cage on it’s walls. The paint coating make the poop just come off very easily, which is so so great, safe time and effort in cleaning. Two trays, one for inside of the cage, one for playground, so cool. The rack with wires on bottom of the cage above the tray in cage can be removed for cleaning too, amazing. And, the rack floor has big space from the tray floor, so my bird cannot eat trash through the wires from the floor, super smart construction.

The cage is high quality and very pretty. The cage is in good condition except for a slight lack of paint on the bowl doors. Otherwise, everything is beautiful and the cage is very large.

Update: I contacted Prevue directly through the customer service number. They sent me a new piece for free to replace the damaged right side of the cage. I received the piece and everything is in good condition.
