Prevue Pet Products Travel Bird Cage 1305 White, 20-Inch by 12-1/2-Inch by 15-1/2-Inch

This turned out to be a nice cage for evacuating our African Grey parrot for Hurricane Dorian. There was one minor flaw, one of the white holders for the cups was welded crooked, which made using one of the enclosed bolts an impossible task. I had to rummage through our bolt supply to find one slightly smaller so it could fit past the crooked weld, and eventually it all worked out. My Grey was not happy about the smaller cage initially. I placed the included perch at the lowest possible setting in the cage, and also the included bowls/holders. I used one of his regular perches from his cage set low as well. He ended up sitting on that for the most part, ignoring the included perch which was set towards the front of the cage. He was in the cage for about 5 days. It took him a day to get used to it before he was back to his usual routine of making fun of us and talking up a storm. What I like about this cage is the size. You really shouldnt go smaller for a Grey, and this is only meant to be for traveling and evacuating. I would not want it for long term. He has an older travel cage that was bigger and weighed twice as much as this one. We needed the room in our vehicle and we needed something lighter that wouldnt hurt our backs. This fit the bill.

Perfect for what we needed. Fits in the car with no problems and am sure my Senegal parrot will love to travel in it.

Easy to assemble/ disassemble. Not too heavy and easy to clean. Perfect for traveling and temporary accommodation for my two cockatiels.

I am extremely satisfied with this cage. It is for a small to medium size bird. I have a pionus and she is not a real active girl so this is perfect for the amount of time she is in it. It is nice as a traveling, sleeping cage or for some outside patio time as she is not harnessed trained. In a crunch, she could live in here for a few days providing I give her enough out of cage time to stretch her wings and play. It is super easy to put together and takes about 1 minute to set up. I have 2 others like this but a different brand. This one is about $10 more than my others but its worth the extra money. It seems the wire is heavier which makes it more sturdy. The bowls are of nicer quality with small safety hooks that help hold them in place. The bottom tray is deeper and heavier plastic with a latch that prevents it from sliding out. It includes a perch but I use only natural or rope perches. It is at a great price point for the quality. Dont look any further. I am pretty particular and would highly recommend this travel cage.

I purchased three of these so each of my cockatiels would have their own space for traveling in the car. To my surprise all three birds with distinctively different personalities remained calm in the moving car and more peaceful than in other things we have tried. Two of the cages were simple for one person to set up, the third box had a cage that was jammed together that took some thought and effort to unfold. One of the cup rings was bent because of this which makes it more difficult to change the water, The slip out waste tray is much nicer than any portable cockatiel home I have ever used. The bowls are deep and have lock bubbles to prevent spillage in a moving vehicle when filled below the bubbles and the cages are secured in a upright position. The only negative I see about this travel cage is that you have to open the one large door to refill the food and water during a long trip and a bird may escape and get lost if their wings arent clipped. I would like to see a lightweight travel cage where you could change the food and water without opening the main door. The perches in my packages were nice and not too short. If the door doesnt stay locked to your satisfaction, all you have to do is use a recycled lock ring that comes on most cockatiel toys. I chose this cage over the other choices because it came with things I know my birds like. After a car ride of about an hour we returned home and sat the cages on the kitchen island with the doors open and left for another three hours. When we returned home, all three birds were still in the travel cages. None flew back to their permanent wrought iron 18X18X57 prevue hendryx cages. Our birds will be happy campers now.

The cage is nicely built and easy to set up. My Senegal Parrot loves to be outside with me and this cage is a perfect size to tote her around.

We have been getting severe weather around here more often than I like. I dawned on me. How do I drag my gigantic flight cages down to the basement to save my birds? I dont.... This travel cage put my mind at ease. My birds also love playing around on this thing. Id say best fit for cockatiel sized birds to medium sized birds. Anything smaller their head will get stuck in the wide bars. Anything larger and they will not have enough room to stretch at all. Only negative I can think of is the bowls that come with it are way to deep. Cut that depth down by half, and they would be perfect!

Once I figured out how to put it together it turned out super. Very sturdy for sure. Directions were rather sketchy but common sense prevailed.The hard part was figuring how to get the tray out with the dishes and perch setting in the tray. Just look at the very end of the cage and pull down on the curved handles at each end and it drops down so that the tray can then be removed. Now remember the dishes and perch are a bit hard to slide out on the tray but a little umph and success. The dish holder is extremely secure and easy to attach to the wires. The stainless steel dishes are very well constructed. Each dish has a marked indentation to set the dish on and it drops and turns to securely lock in place. Thus your bird can not flip each dish.( a terrific design indeed) I am amazed how well built this cage is. Now it is somewhat heavy to carry but what the heck. It is definitely worth this feature. I am getting one each for my Cockatiel Senegal and GCC. They need such a cage as they will be visiting my friend(their aunt as I named her) for 2 weeks. Their home cages are the 5 and 6 foot styles. I hope you like my comments.

Perfect size

So the idea was to purchase a mobile cage so that I could haul my Conure around and position him in my daily life - where otherwise I would have left him behind. This cage is the perfect take your bird on the road solution.... I was looking for: HUSKY - for ongoing transport I needed something that can hold its form. There are some good built tough cages out there but they are all $80 to $120. - This cage was under $40. (Also the supper beefy cages make your bird look like your carrying a lab animal (especially the clear one). I dont want a cage that looks like I am transporting a quarantined animal. This cage is strong enough for rugged traveling - but sleek enough that you dont look like Vet tech. BEING IN PUBLIC - another factor in transport - means carrying a bird through public places. The only thing worse than being on an elevator with a potentially contagious bird is riding with a creepy bird person. Sorry a fish bowl - plastic aquarium - bird backpack is a little bird person creepy. I am just a man with his bird trying to get from the parking garage to my office... I want everyone on the elevator to be at ease with my bird and my personality. This cage is beyond perfect. Its really strong for a wire cage - you could transport a puppy in it - its the perfect transport size - and it looks like normal cage (and its under $40). Very good build and product - probably the bet quality cage I own. Careful details and thought in the design. They even provided 1 extra bolt and wingnut (very classy). When I put it together - and saw it in real life - I was pleasantly surprised - Its a travel cage but - but its not bad for a mobile cage - its like an RV Camper for a bird - with a small home feel. I will be adding a mod thought - the handle is made out of the same gauge wire as the cage - the cage is so beefy (heavy) that I will add a bigger handle on top.
