Highlighted Reviews

— Uniqua

"It's really big. I guess will get another bird. It's amazing thank you so much."

— Wendy

"This cage was a disaster. The first one arrived damaged and the replacement did not arrive in time for me to pick up my bird from rescue. Chewy did nothing to help and told me to just be patient even though I had no place to put my new bird. Terrible service!"

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a spacious and easy-to-maintain bird cage, this could be a good option. However, be prepared for possible quality issues and inconsistent customer support.
