This cage is perfect for my Congo African Grey - nearly the recommended cage size. Heavy-duty construction - my bird has destroyed two lighter cages from this brand. Prevue Pet Products Flight Cage Models F085 and F040 are a nice size and good price, but a Grey will wreck them in two years. If you have a Grey or Amazon, spend the extra money and get this model. “Buy once, cry once.”Needs a bit of finesse for one person to assemble - I used a 6 ft. ladder and string to hold the front panel up when I worked on the back. Instructions could be better with larger illustrations - pay careful attention to steps 2A and 2C. On my first run, I put the front and back panels upside-down, which absolutely didn’t work. Make sure the door hinges are on the right, and the other panels have thick vertical wires facing the exterior.Left and right sides are interchangeable, so cups for food and water won’t be over a floor heating vent where my cage will go. Test-fit the big cups on the inside to make sure you don’t install that panel upside-down, like I did.The top perch makes my boy feel free and happy. Then he goes inside.I didn’t put on the seed guards - don’t have the room for them.A few corners and bars were bent, but repairable with a heavy-duty needle nose pliers and hammer. One tray had a dent, but it’s only cosmetic. Top and bottom trays are interchangeable, so I put the dented one on the bottom, where it’s less noticeable.

I was nervous ordering bc of all the horror stories of things not lining up, etc.This turns out to be a really nice cage. The usual rules apply to setup - you need to work things a little in some areas (ie. leave bolts a little loose until ready to tighten down, twist, gentle pressure, etc) when assembling but I was able to do the assembly by myself (and with "help" from a pre-schooler) in less than an hour.Quality seems really good. The lower tray had a bad dent in it from shipping and does not slide in, however I contacted the company (support number provided) and they were very responsive. Called me back within 10 minutes and hopefully have a damaged part replacement out soon. Top and bottom trays are interchangeable.Bringing our featherbaby (a Quaker parrot) home in a week or so and will update if he thinks differently, but I think he's really going to enjoy the space and playtop. As of now, highly recommend for medium to large birds.UPDATE: still highly recommend. Cage has held up really well to parrot abuse, easily wipes clean, rolls around the house very easily, and Prevue was great to work with. Would definitely buy from them again.

Easy to put togetherSturdyCatch trays dented, but shipping box was fine.The worst part of this cage is how loud the lock is. If I don't stop it from banging when opened, it scares my bird.

I ordered this on Sept. 23, didn’t receive until Oct. 1... No big deal, it’s a large package. Get home to find my “delivery” is ONLY box 2 of 2. At this point, no one can tell me where or IF I’ll ever receive box 1. I’ve only been able to contact amazon help and the carrier.... still absolutely no answers!!! I’m so aggravated! That being said, the portion of the cafe that I DID receive, looks to be nice and sturdy. I just need the other half!

So this was really disappointing, only received half the cage, the playtop part. When I contacted amazon they could not get me the other half but did get a refund! Sucked.

I bought the 36x24x66 (black hammertone) cage for my African grey! She is adopted and came with an ENORMOUS cage that forced me to take doors off hinges in order to take it outside for cleaning :(This was extremely impractical, so I started the hunt for a new cage. After much research and even more measuring, I decided to give this one a shot! It had to be big enough for her to feel comfortable, but thin enough to fit through my doors without having to remove them. This one is PERFECT! She has plenty of room if she has to stay in it (she comes and goes at will —visits her flock mates)!!!As far as the assembly goes, the instructions are not the greatest. However, I have put together cages before, so it wasn’t too terribly difficult. I am a 5’1” female and I put the thing together by myself in a little over an hour (I am a bit of a DIYer, though).All in all, I think this is an excellent product! The size and price point fit the bill and I think that once my Grey gets settled in, she will love her new cage.Her cockatiel pal has already decided that he LOVES it and had moved in ;)*The included pics show both the Grey and the ‘Tiel in it. I have my cages on a table (birds like to be high), so the play perch touches the ceiling, rendering it unusable.

Bought this for my Green Cheek Conure. Very nice construction, I put it together by myself without much trouble. My only complaint would be that on one side the bars under the grill were a little bent so that it wasn't safe to omit the grill (if you know what I mean), working on bending them back so that I can leave the grill off though.All in all I love it, 5 stars.

I wasn't expecting a lot from this cage, given the price and that it had to be assembled. I was expecting something much flimsier, with ill-fitting connections. I was pleasantly surprised. It is heavy enough that a large bird would have difficulty bending the bars (if they were able to at all). It fits together nicely, is easy to operate once you figure out the door latches for the main door and the food and water trays, and wasn't too difficult to assemble. The biggest problem was poor instructions - you could figure out more looking at the picture on Amazon and the Prevue page. I am very pleased with the assembled product, though, and expect to use it for a long time.Like many other reviewers, my cage arrived with damage to the sheet metal waste tray. I followed the instructions inside and emailed photos of the damaged part, bar code, and description on the box, along with the Amazon invoice, to Prevue. They replaced the tray, and even sent some toys for my bird as well.Over all, very pleased with the cage and the company.
