"I have no idea why this got a bad rating before.......This cage is adorable, especially the roof......"

— Doglover

"This cage is too small for any bird. I guess you could use it as a travel cage. Parakeets/Budgies fly sideways not up. They need a cage that is longer not higher. *DO NOT GET FOR PERMANENT HOME FOR YOUR PARAKEET/BUDGIE!*"

Bottom Line

Caution advised; many users find the cage incompetent for birds, serving better as a temporary travel cage. In case you still wish to buy, consider using it as a secondary cage.
