Yaheetech 30-inch Stackable Flight Bird Cages for Parakeets Cockatiels Conures Finches Budgies Lovebirds Canaries Small Birds Parrots Birdcage, White

This parakeet flight cage has issues to consider before purchasing. Safety for your bird comes first. Our new little budgie got his leg stuck between the side of the cage and the bottom grate the first day he was in there. There are gaps in the alignment where little legs can get stuck. It is NOT easy to clean. The bottom floor grate does NOT pull out, so you have to stick your hand in the cage in order to clean the top and the hard to get to bottom of the grate. The pull out portion under the grate is a flexible plastic which is easy to clean, but looks gappy from the front. We regret this purchase and do not recommend this cage. Most importantly, safety comes first. Get a sturdier, safer and easier to clean cage.

Easy to put together

The cage has a nice large and secure door in the front that I can open to bring my birds out of their cage. Everything pieced together nicely as well and it looks like it will be sturdy and easy to clean.

Great second cage. Half size of my large one. Using to split canaries up, nice features, simple and functional.

My birds are very happy now.

I’ll keep it simple. It’s very spacious for 2 parakeets, reasonably sturdy, and absolutely adorable. I took out the bottom grate out of preference so I will say In doing that it makes the bottom a little less sturdy. I also want to add that while I was assembling, there were a couple spots where the paint was chipping off but after seeing my budgie play with the bars It seems strong enough against their beak (I think I was just too rough with it). But overall I’m obsessed with it! So much better than my previous cage.

It showed up really warped It bad is very easy and it does not clip together very well The instruction booklet was also crap.

My 2 parakeets were in a narrow tall cage before I bought this one. My only complaint is the lack of doors, but problem solved. I ended up removing 3 doors from the old cage, used snips to create the holes where the doors would be, sanded down what I clipped and put them on this cage. It now has 6 usable doors, making it much easier to position dishes and to move things around without removing the top. The birds enjoy this horizontal cage much more than the vertical one. So much happier I can tell by their activity and singing. Also, this was very easy to put together and set up. I would have given 5 stars if it had more doors!

Very good cage lots of room for my birds.

I bought this cage as an expansion since my diamond dove pair have started a family. They are admittedly pretty small, but not significantly smaller than finches for example, so if you have small birds you intend on using this cage for, please read this, but: TLDR -- This cage is weak at the bars, structurally unsound, and unsafe because it has significant gaps that small birds can fit through that cant be adequately blocked off. The construction was OK, but it was a pain in the butt to get some of the pieces secured in place sometimes, and the instructions werent entirely helpful (they condense the most significant parts of the assembly process into essentially a single step). That wasnt a horrible problem though, just an annoyance. Another more minor complaint is that there is no basin for the slide-out bin to rest in, which means that even using a seed catcher around your cage, whatever substrate you use, food, poop, etc. will fling out from the side bottoms. Your best bet is situating the entire cage into a tray or a box on its own so there is at least something to catch thrown material. The most significant limitation of this cage is that structurally, its garbage. First, the bars are the weakest I have ever seen or experienced on a cage. They completely bend without any application of finger strength whatsoever, except at the edges. This means that when youre working with assembly, you have to be careful because using the cage for any leverage at all risks making permanent, significant bends, or compromising the integrity of the cage. Second, the base of the cage is incredibly weak. Its a very limited number of crossbars which completely fold and cave under the weight of the cage. That means during assembly, during use, during maintenance or cleaning, if the resting position of the cage is not at least as big as the perimeter of the cage itself, the underside bends. A lot. But even if the base you use is large and solid, there is inadequate security at the front portion of the cage, where the slide-out tray is located. Which means even if you put the cage on a nice, firm table, the front end of it leans forward. I cant fathom how this even made it past testing--using the cage in its default position, the cage is folding on itself. Thats insane. That all said, the absolute worst part of this cage, and by worst I mean actually unsafe, is the gaps. This goes beyond just, for example, the top corners of the cage not being flush or secured. The gap at the bottom where the tray lies is so significant in size that small birds heads can fit through. For diamond doves, this is a death sentence, since they spend a significant amount of time foraging off the base of the cage; and worse a death sentence for young birds that spend an even larger part of their time on the ground. And this section of the cage is not flush, and the front of the cage is not stable. That means even if you place a barrier of some kind to cover this section of the cage (ignoring that youre supposed to be able to easily remove the slide-out tray for cleaning) such as cardboard or a plastic shield, there will still be a gap no matter where you put it, unless you were to drill holes in it and secure it to the cage, which would make it impossible to clean. My last gripe is the bottom set of railings. In other cages Ive purchased, there will be a railing bottom for birds to walk. Im not sure about other species of birds, but for diamond doves this is not safe--it can cause significant toe and foot damage. The tray filled with substrate is actually where they walk, which isnt typically a problem because in other cages, you can just remove those bars. But no, even in this weak cage, for some reason the bars are secured by thick metal wire that I had to pry off with a flat head screwdriver and remove just to make the cage livable for my birds. The only positive to this was that I instead placed these metal wires at the base of the cage and secured it there to make it more structurally sound. Im going to do additional work on this cage since I already bought it, but if you have small birds and were looking for something large and relatively inexpensive, I would seriously suggest spending the extra $30 - $50 for a similarly sized but far better quality cage. This cage may be acceptable if you have larger small birds like conures or budgies, but certainly not finches, diamond doves, or other similarly small birds.
