I've had this cage for several months now, and I really love this bird cage. It is a large size for our Feathers. For a cockatiel, I would say it is a little large because he really does not use the whole cage. Then again, he spends just about all his time on the play top anyway. I really think this play top helped to make our bird even more loving and social.
Assemble of the cage was very easy, did not need any tools. The one thing that was missing is the footing off one of the legs where the wheel gets snapped into. This does make it difficult, because the cage sits on the wheels and ours wobbles because of the missing piece. This piece was to have already been installed, so it's not something that was missing from the accessory package, it was not installed at the factory.
The coating on this cage is so wonderful, I love how easy it is to clean. There are two pull out trays, one for the play top and one for the bottom of the cage. These are big, and sort of heavy, trays.
Because the cage is already so big, we did not put on the seed catchers/trays on the sides. This would have added another 4 inches on all sides (8 inches measuring front to back and side to side). We could not accommodate the extra space in our small home. I knew this in advance. My understanding is that I can add just one tray if I want to, which I probably will do. My bird eats on one side of the cage anyway, so I think I'll put the tray just on that side. Have not done that yet.
I would buy this cage again in an instant. I would be willing to spend just a little more to purchase it. It's an incredible value, and this cage is so well thought out."..." Read more
