SUPER DEAL 61-Inch Large Bird Cage with Playtop

Originally my quaker parrot and blue crowned conure were a bonded pair. But due to my mother-in-law having to move in, and bring her Quaker parrot with her, the quaker began showing bonded aggression toward the Blue Crowned. This was no fault of the birds, but ours, by introducing a new family member both human and bird. Sometimes this happens–out of jealousy or stress. They began to fight constantly all day. The quaker turned vicious and I began to seriously worry about nipped toes and very bad wounds due to the quaker biting.

I made a hard decision to purchase another cage to home the quaker separate, but beside the Blue crowned and needed a new cage in a pinch that I could afford (the original cage we housed them in was over $300 and I love my birds, but I am in so much debt up to my eyeballs I couldn’t get another one at this price.)

I ordered this for the price point, but am glad I did. It’s a very tall cage with plenty of room for the quaker to spread his wings and climb all around. It also has a great play area on the top. It arrived in great condition, no dings or dents.

The ONLY issue I have with this is that the food and water bowls are held in the cage not with a solid piece of metal, but a removable one that is sort of shaped like a square bracket, and that makes the water bowl tilt downward a little bit, making it impossible to fill it entirely. The instructions were a little vague, but if you have experience with bird cages, or putting together anything it eventually works out. We ended up with some extra screws too.

RECOMMEND? Yes–especially if you are on a budget/part time or experiencing financial difficulties.

Great bird cage for the price. I would definitely buy it again if needed. We are getting a cockatiel, and this cage is sturdy and spacious (larger than average), mobile (on wheels), and well-designed. The open play area on the top and the metal skirt around the lower perimeter (to catch debris) are great bonuses. The pull out trays also make it easy to clean. I predict possibly needing to add reinforcement to the doors to prevent our dogs or the bird from bumping them open, but it would be an easy fix. The only drawbacks are the following:

1) The assembly instructions are not very helpful. The close-up photos of the cage from the Amazon listing were more useful to us during the assembly, and we figured it out in about 30 minutes total. It was manageable.

2) Some parts were dented, but didn’t interfere with proper assembly or cause too much of a cosmetic concern.

3) The top segment (roof of the cage and base for the upper play area) was a little faulty in that it pops into the four corners of the body of the cage during initial assembly, but one or more of the corners will pop back out and not fully snap into place. This is easily remedied with zip ties. Without zip ties it would still be functional, my only concern would be if the cage was knocked over, it would likely fall off and not keep the bird secured inside.

4) The main door on the front requires so little pressure to unlatch that a slight bump can unlatch it — such as a large and curious dog’s nose. I’m going to add a D-clip as a secondary lock.

Overall, none of the drawbacks were major and did not detract too much from our satisfaction with this purchase. It’s a great cage and I could not find another one with similar features at this low of a price.

This bird cage is perfect. I love the quality and it was extremely easy to assemble. Most of all my 2 parakeets have really been enjoying as well. I highly recommend this product.
