TRIXIE Outdoor Bird Aviary, 71-in Wooden Birdcage, 2 Perches, Ideal for Small Birds, Finches, Brown, (55951)

Pro: I like the spacing for our society finch pair. They use all of it, from the top to the bottom. Like how you can access different parts of the inside without disturbing birds or allowing them to escape.This cage matches my other aviary for parakeets so nice compliment in bird room. Nice hardware. Nice design. Instructions easy to follow. All part included, some extra pieces(screws). Happy with purchase, so are the birds!Con: shipping took over a week to arrive. The box and packaging was really destroyed. Ladder was busted, corner of top busted, I had to clue some pieces together to assure they wouldn't fall apart. Flimsy cardboard. Styrofoam used to protect cage was shredded and turned into a million bits...quite the mess to unpack and vacuum. Still finding the white stuff around the room weeks later. Shelf too big for cage, cuts it almost in halfModifications: Put a light inside at top. Might add another under the shelf. I cut the shelf in half, length-wise after reading other reviews that it just collected bird droppings. It did juts too far into the cage so cut in half and kept one hole for water dish. I put fresh greens on this shelf. Food on the bottom so keeps everything cleaner. Also put plexiglass all around the bottom to seal in spent seed hulls. No mess whatsoever now. Warmer too. Glued ladder together and purchased more perches and brought in tree branches to provide more diverse foot holds so birds don't get feet problems. Added fake greenery which makes cage feel more natural for birds and looks great with wood. Bird nest boxes hidden inside greenery

Put this together last night for my daughter's parakeet. It said it would take a few weeks for delivery but it arrived in 2 days!We really like it! It was very straight forward to assemble. Anyone can put this together. I did it by myself. It's so pretty and spacious. It's not super high quality but certainly sturdy enough and I was happy with the quality for the cost.

Fabulous cage for my 4 parakeets! They love it! I read previous reviews of a few purchasers' parakeets chewing the wood. I bought bitter apple spray for birds from my local pet shop and sprayed it on all of the wood parts I did not want them to munch on. My thought process being, if they are deterred from nibbling from the start, they shouldn't be interested in chewing that wood later either. They do have quite a few toys they can chew on all day long as well as 2 cuttlebones at their disposal. Everything arrived safe except 1 small dowel piece for the multi-level perch that suspends from an eyelet in the roof. That was the only broken piece and was actually fixable with a little glue and pushing it into the post so that the broken part was half-way into the post, making one side of that perch a little longer than the other. It doesn't affect the balance at all. I placed the 2 long perches that come with it as close to the top as possible and secured them with small zip ties to keep the perch from sliding back and forth in the section of cage they occupy. This allows my birds to hang out and hide (just a little) under the roof parts. They have a play yard that fits nicely on the bottom and a small water fountain on the ledge (found on clearance at Lowe's) in addition to multiple tree branch type perches that are strategically placed to allow as much flight room for them as possible. The instructions do come in German but there is English below each step. There is also a picture on the back of the box how to assemble as well as on the paper instructions. The hardware is in cardboard slots that identify each screw, part as "A", "B", "C", etc. It really isn't difficult to figure out. When I put mine together, I found it easiest to start assembling the upper tier on top of the assembled bottom tier so that it all lined up nicely. You can either separate them once you finish assembling the upper tier or just use a step ladder for the parts you can't reach - easy either way. It assembles very logically. The feet have adjusters in the bottom of each so you can make the cage level on your floor. I have mine on carpet and the carpet tack strip near the wall made the back stick up a little higher than the front. Using the foot adjustments in the front made it level out nicely. It's a beautiful addition to my living room and my little ones are very happy in it! I'd buy again!

Easy peasy to assemble! I did it myself!Manufacturer didn’t drill some holes and you need to look closely to find predrilled roof holes in black roof. The wood is very soft therefore screws go into the connecting wood easily. All the screws were packed and labeled perfectly! Instructions were great as well. I’m so happy I took a chance and ordered this bird aviary. Some of the reviews weren’t positive, but it seems as if the manufacturer updated this item.The birdies love their nice size food dish! They both fit in it and eat together! Maybe they will climb in their water bowl for a bath?!I asked a question on Amazon and one person helped a bunch and told me I could frame the inside with 1 by 3 pieces of wood to add strength if the birds start to chew the wood. Great idea and Thank you!! It is yet to be seen how much my Lovies chew on the frame, but I plan on letting them enjoy this bird aviary along with their other wire cage they sleep in. Therefore this cage should provide years of beauty and fun for my birdies!Thank you for such a beautiful piece of furniture that blends nicely in our living room!
