"We absolutely love this birdcage. Our 2 parakeets love it also. Wish we would of got this birdcage a long time ago. There is so much room in it for them. It didn't take my husband to long to put it together either."

— Samantha

"I had such high hopes for this cage and it was a huge disappointment. The look and size of the cage was great but it was poorly built. I would have to zip tie the entire cage together for it to be even remotely secure. This cage is not safe for my green cheeked conure, or any birds. I will be return..."

Bottom Line

Do not recommend this cage. It may be visually appealing, but the structure is unfit for birds' safety like parakeets, causing significant issues.
