Good value for the money
The time from ordering to shipping was very reasonable, and so was the price. I ordered two of them, because my two European Starlings don't get along. I don't know how the birds will like it yet because I have yet to furnish these and move them in. I won't use the ladder but parrots I'm sure would love it. The instructions were diagrams only, no verbal instructions. I was able to figure out how to put it together from these diagrams plus the already drilled screw holes and a pencil line here and there. I'm not saying it was easy, but I did it! Of course the second one was much easier once I had it figured out. I assembled both in about 4.5 - 5 hours. I think handy tools to have on hand would be a pencil, if you want to mark the wood with the letters and numbers when you are first figuring it out, and for marking holes maybe when you put on the door hinges,, a small and medium sized Phillips screwdriver, a punch and hammer for making screw holes. For the most part, the screws go in very easily. I only needed to make pilot holes for the small screws on the door hinges. I think it's well designed and attractive. I'm not sure it's heavy enough to have birds in it outside 24/7, if I were to put birds out 24/7 I might put a bigger, sturdier metal cage around it because in my area we have mink and I know a person who lost a lot of birds in aviaries to mink who were in permanent wood frame cages with hardware cloth that he built. And I've seen Racoons claw apart really well built wooden structures to get at birds. I would feel comfortable putting my birds in these outside for the day if I was out in the backyard with them, or with them off and on so predators would be staying away. And I'd build and add a wooden box for them to get into just in case something grabs at them. European Starlings adore hanging out in boxes some of the time so I'm going to build them a couple anyway even though I will be using these indoors for the time being. But I'm not an expert. I was attracted by the appearance, and value for the size. They are also lighter in weight than I expected for the size. Some of the wood is somewhat soft which lets the screws go in easily, making it pretty easy to assemble. That's ok for housing starlings, because they do not chew like parrots do. I am very happy with these so far!

Love the cage! Its the perfect size from my small, geriatric parrot who fell off of his perch in his larger cage and broke his wing. The vet recommended lower perches given his recent incidents of loss of balance, so I decided to search for a shorter cage. I ran across this one which I thought hed love, and he does...BUT, Im worried about cracks that have started to form in one of the acrylic panels. Pros 1. Clear view My parrot loves being able to see out my bedroom window through the clear plastic side, and I love being able to clearly see him without bars in the way. 2. Modular Something cool and unmentioned about this cage is that if you have two, they are stackable! 3. Reduced mess the panels help protect from seed being flung out 4. Reduced risk of cat tampering I feel like hes safer from our cats if they breech security and make it into my bedroom where he lives. Im not saying its totally cat-proof, but its definitely cat-resistant. 5. Pull-out litter tray slides out easily, contains mess well. My little travel cage that he was in for a bit after the initial wing break gets seed and stuff around its tray. This one hasnt had that problem so far. Cons 1. Cracking panel Weve had this cage about a week and the clear panel on one side has already developed hairline cracks that were not there after initial assembly. Its as if the acrylic panel was cut a little too long, and the stress of the curvebend is starting to be too much for it. I may have to search for a replacement panel if it worsens...Im very concerned that it may be a safety issue. 2. Feeders are cumbersome I ditched the plastic feeders. They would have been difficult to deal with. 3. Hanger assembly What a hassle! there are wires that attach to the cage and peak up inside the plastic top. They have a little plastic piece with a screw hole in it that they hook on that you attach the hanger finial to from the outside of the plastic roof. Under aforementioned plastic roof is a plastic ceiling grate, so you cant get your hand up in there to hold it in place. I had to hold that little piece up from inside the cage through that grate with a knife to be able to get that final on. It took two people and 10 minutes to do just that part. The rest was easy enough, except there were no instructions on how to get the panels on. Id skip the wires next time and just attach the finial to the piece they were hooking on before I ever put the top on. Cons 2 3 are not deal breakers IMO. If it werent for the stressed, cracking panel, Id not hesitate to buy a 2nd one for my sons new parakeet....I may do it anyway and just buy newbetter acrylic panels.
