PawHutWooden Bird Cage Budgie cage, Bird Aviary Outdoor Birdhouse for Finches, Parakeets - Grey

easy to assemble, looks good and my budgies love it

This is not that easy to assemble and doesn’t look finished. We have it indoors and it’s fine and birds love it as lotsOf space. Instructions could be simple and wood is a bit flimsy but it does the job.Won’t stun you but I am not sure I would trust it if outside to withstand foxes. Your call not mine. Happy with it tho.

Overall this is a good product for the price HOWEVER for the price I feel is the correct statement here, I am an engineer by trade and feel some of the materials used are very much on the budget end of the scale they work as they should, I might suggest as I did change out all the sliding bolts for better suited versions also I swapped out some of the screws supplied as in my opinion they were very soft and some the incorrect length for the use case, at times sharp screw ends popping out of the wood on the inside of the cage, I would not suggest keeping more expensive birds in it as there are various options for escape, the worst being the total lack of a floor once the tray is slid out for cleaning giving a very large gap at the bottom of the cage all round, sticking with the tray I may suggest adding a catch either side to keep it from sliding out if knocked as is quite lose fit it would be nice to be given either a paint code or for the company to sell the colours used as the paint arrived heavily marked and unpainted in places with all this said if you are competent at DIY and making a few adjustments there is the bases of a very good Avery at a very good price.

Various parts are damaged or mis-manufactured. Hinges and shoot bolts are flimsy. Tolerances on panel sizes are way off, so that when constructed it looks wonky. I am returning.

Okay, so overall I’m really happy with my indoor aviary, which I have actually converted to use as a sugar glider home (photos attached). I’d be lying if I said it was top spec or amazing quality BUT it was only 100 quid so what do you expect. Unfortunately, as others have said some of the parts are quite cheap, but this wasn’t a major concern for me as I just needed a base product to convert into something more suitable, and this was perfect for that. I painted the whole unit in two coats of an Animal friendly clear heavy duty varnish to help protect it. The bolts that come with it have all been changed as they were no good (very cheap). I have added additional bolts to the sliding pull-out tray as again this is a bit flimsy and loose. I also moved the runners up for the sliding tray to remove the gap that was left there. I’m guessing that wouldn’t be too much of an issue for birds, but with me having sugar gliders, it wouldn’t have worked great. Some of the pre-drilled holes were not in the right place, some of the wood was missing the pre-drilled holes altogether, however it’s made from quite soft wood and actually you can screw into it fairly easily but I would advise maybe having a drill at hand Just in case. The wire mesh is also a little bit thinner than I realised So as long as the sugars don’t chew through it, I’m okay LOL, The sugar gliders have been in there a week now and seem to love it and with a side door I can tag on an extension to it At a later date for more space if need be. I’m not sure how well this would do if used outside. But that’s not a concern for me as it’s for inside anyway.Overall, I would say good value for money but if you’re not keen on making any adjustments or allergic to DIY I’d probably pay a little bit more dosh and get something a bit more sturdy.

Looks ok, holes not aligned properly so not easy to put together, a lot flimsier than I expected but not bad.

Smaller measurements than advertised thatbwas frustrating when purchased this model due to the stated size ,very easy to put together tho
