"I love the cage, so does my bird."

— caro

"Poor quality! Drawer does not slide out easily. Perches are too short, will not stay up! Top needs to be zip tied to properly stay attached. Metal was bent."

Bottom Line

Given the issues mentioned by reviewers, it may be best to consider alternative bird cages.
