Prevue Pet Products Wrought Iron Flight Cage with Stand, Large Birdcage for Pets, Metal Cage Standing Birdcage, Chalk White

I have owned this flight cage for one month, and I have to agree with those who have given it positive reviews. I currently house five finches in it, including a tiny bronze winged-mannikin, and there is no way for them to escape, provided you assemble the cage correctly and it is not damaged. Now, as for bent wires, there will probably be a few when you unpack the pieces. The directions even warn of this. But I was easily able to put them back in place with a pair of pliers. And I am NOT a handy, tool-oriented sort of person. Nor am I particularly adept at assembling things, but I was able to put this together largely by myself. I did, however, need a second person to hold pieces in place for me at a couple of steps in the process (the instructions are correct in indicating where you will need assistance). Assembly itself took about an hour, maybe, and I ran into almost no problems. The trickiest part to assemble is the roof, but with a second person holding pieces in place, it came together. And it left no spaces wide enough for finches to escape. The only part I had a bit of trouble with was getting the wheels into the casters, as you need to hammer them into place, but my 60+-year-old mom was able to do it no problem, so maybe I am just weak :).I LOVE all of the large and small doors that allow me access to various parts of the cage. The two large doors on the front unhinge and swing out to the side, and I am able to fit the entire upper portion of my body into the cage. They both latch easily, once you get the hang of it. In addition, the large doors have small access doors on them that slide upwards (typical of the kind you would find on many bird cages). The cage also has two of these small doors on each side, one upper and one lower. No doors on the back. I have had no problem using the standard water/food feeder in these openings.The cage comes with its own food/water feeders, which attach to the horizontal wires within the cage, and can go almost anywhere you want to put them. I love to use these for food.The tray at the bottom slides out easily, and I have found that it just fits inside a large black trash bag, so that I can slide it into the bag to dump out the substrate without much mess. Above the tray, there is also a removable grate (just don't remove both at once--then there is absolutely room for finches to escape!). I have found that I can clean the grate without needing to remove it, since the bottom cage door is so large.Now for dimensions. It is true that finches prefer horizontality to verticality, so length is important. There is ample length and width for several finches (NOT 20+, though--this would mean serious overcrowding). My societies make use of the entire cage, top to bottom. My gouldians prefer to stay at the very top. I am sure it just depends on the finch. I originally housed zebras in this cage, and they also only used the top.For such a large cage, it is extremely mobile! Provided you have the space to maneuver, it is quite easy to push it around the room (if vacuuming, for example), thanks to the wheels on the bottom.Finally, this cage is STURDY. It is made of much stronger, more durable material than my previous 18 x 18 x 30 Petco flight cages.I was hesitant to buy this model because it is a bit pricey (there is, I think, another Prevue flight cage that is generally cheaper and periodically on sale), but I really like the decorative aspect of the sloping roof. And I think the finches appreciate being able to get to the very apex of their environment, which they are able to access via the manzanita perches I placed up there.Very happy with my purchase.

I bought the X-Large cage earlier this year in March and ever since has held up very nicely! And the girls love it. I would say assembly requires two people to hold some of the pieces steady while the other person screws in the bolts, but other wise the process was smooth!CONS:- Size of the door opening. For the door, it's no problem for the birds, just an inconvenience for me when I want to place in new toys or grab out their food/water bowls to clean each morning. But that task became easier when I placed them closer to the door.- Flimsy-ness of the bars. Careful when hanging bulky/heavy toys. I've noticed the bars start to cave-in especially from the ceiling of the cage so I use the bigger toys for outside play instead.PROS:- Ability to remove grate flooring. I like to encourage my birds to forage on the floor or the bottom half of the cage. This was made much easier when I found out that I could remove the grate panel and move the bottom pan in its place. So when they go down to the floor of the cage, they are essentially walking on the pan where I place the paper. There are NO gap spacing for escapes or injuries!- There is plenty of space for my two tiels to not only play, but have their own space when they need it.- The doors on the side of the cage are spring loaded. Even though it doesn't lock, it requires more force than a cockatiel or any other small bird could exhibit to open up! (but of course, zip-ties could be used to seal it for peace of mind) It was also the perfect size to place their favorite plexiglass box for no-mess feeding!All around really great cage, and heavily recommend! I'm hoping the seller can make more so I could purchase another for a third cockatiel!

I bought this extra large cage for my two cockatiels so they could have some more space to play while I am working. It is now their full time cage because we love it so much!What they like:- The cage is spacious enough for more toys and they can really spread their wings.- They can be together and still have plenty of personal space.- The bar spacing is perfect so they can climb inside and out without any trouble.- The dishes. Honestly, I have no idea why they love them. But they were all intact when I received them.What I like:- Most importantly, it makes them happy.- Bedtime used to be a hassle trying to get them into their medium size cages. They go into this cage without any arguments making bedtime so much less stressful for all of us.- It is quite sturdy for birds of their size. As others have already mentioned, this is a flight cage intended for smaller birds. Don't put a large parrot in it and expect it to withstand the damage they can cause.- The price! I spent twice as much on a semi-large cage at a pet store that they don't even use.The only very minor complaint I have is that the top panel was slightly warped making it a little difficult to finish putting together. But that certainly wouldn't deter me from buying it again. And once it was all put together there was no part of it that could possibly put the birds in any danger.One comment I noticed in a lot of the reviews was the spring loaded doors on the sides. I actually like to use the doors bc they are quite convenient. I found an easy resolution was to use screw-on dishes or perches to hold them shut.So overall, I would definitely recommend this to someone who is looking for a nice flight cage for their smaller birds.
