Wrought Iron Select Bird Cage Black Hammertone 3151BLK, 18'' x 18'' x 57''

I'm very pleased with this cage and so is my Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure. The Amazon price is very impressive and especially when compared to the well known chain @ $354.99 and close to 3xs when compared to our local privately owned pet store. I opened the package as soon as it arrived (1-day shipping @ $3.99 with prime) and immediately put it together which took approximately 20 min. I prepared myself for major problems after reading some of the reviews, but assembly was a breeze. Instructions were both easy to read and easy to follow, until I got to the cagetop playstand & corner seed guards. It is at this point that you may need to exercise a bit more patience and rely on a little intuition (use the picture as a guide). Once the cage is fully assembled it is beautiful and works very well to my surprise. I half way expected this cage to be inferior to the ones that we've seen in stores, but the inexpensive price does not mean that its cheaper in quality and that was a very nice bonus. Best Features: 1) Cage top playstand my conure loves it and we love that this play area has replaced his swing and swing stand, which was incredibly messy at times. (the swing is now inside of the cage) 2) Wrout Iron is so nice to have for cleaning compared to plastic on the Super Pet Habitat Defined Bird Cage, Cockatiel Enrichment Home with Activity Center . We hate that cage, but our little buddy loved the smaller, darker space. The cleaning trays are also a plus and there are two sets. One to catch what the bird leaves behind on the cage top and one for the cage below. Just pull them out completely to empty and clean, then easily slide them back into place. 3) Food & water bowls are of great quality and fit nicely into their holders. 4) The corner seed guards are the best feature of this cage. In our Conure's old cage/habitat he would continuously toss his food onto the floor. Food and snacks are now easily redirected into the cage with these guards in place, requiring less sweeping and vacuuming. (width with seed guards is approx 26.5") The transition took approximately 3 days for our Conure and he is now very happy in his new space.

I have a green cheeked conure, and I bought the 18 x 18 x 57. I assembled it myself in about 1.5 hours, and it was pretty easy. It's a great cage and it's very heavy and sturdy. I feel like some of the things on it are actually a little too big for a cockatiel or a small conure - the playtop on the top feels awfully big to me for his little feet. You'll need some kind of a ladder or something hanging over the side so your bird can climb from the door to the top. I also did experience the "gasoline" smell other people reported on the wheels, but this is due to the rubber and the oil they use to make them roll (similar to oiling a bikes wheels). I soaked the wheels in a hot bowl of dawn dish soap for about a half hour and then dried them off, and there's no smell now. Due to the playtop, the top of the cage is solid and not a lot of light gets in and it can feel very dark - please buy your bird some kind of a UVB lamp to go with it so they get some light. Sorry the picture is sideways, Amazon keeps rotating it and wont put it vertical. Good purchase, great delivery, no problems, no dents or broken pieces, heavy and great quality cage. Recommend! Update: I had two of these (for a conure and a cockatiel) and after using this cage for a year I actually decided to go with something else. Why? The seed guards are terrible - it's a nice idea, and I loved them at first, but my birds crap all over them. Like, all over then. And the poo gets in between the cracks and is difficult to clean, and with the amount of scrubbing I had to do, the powder/varnish/coating was coming off. Also, it's very narrow and tall....so it's like half the cage is wasted. All the toys hung on the top half (above the food) and the bottom half was just...nothing. I prefer a cage that is tall and wide, if that makes sense. I also think it's a bit too big for a cockatiel...mine had trouble navigating to the top of the cage and the bigger bars at the top. Anyway, I loved these at first when I first assembled them, but after having them for a year and seeing how toys go in and how my birds actually use the cage, there are much better options out there.

I looked for awhile for a suitable bird cage for our newly adopted cockatiel. I had an older cage I used for cockatiels I had in the past but it was starting to rust pretty badly. The pet stores had cages around the same price but were flimsy. I wanted something sturdy that my cats wouldn't knock down. When I got this cage it was packed very nicely (no damage at all). The instructions were very simple and easy to understand but after peeking at the instructions I didn't even really use it. It only took 15-20 minutes to put it together. It is very sturdy and nicely weighted. The bar spacing is a not too wide and our cockatiel, Remy, climbs the bars just fine. It has a lot of nice features, including a nice lock for the big cage door, removable trays and wire bottom for easy cleaning, casters for easy maneuvering, seed guard, and a nice playtop. Height wise it hits me at about nose level (I am 5'6"). Just one side note, I got black but it's more pewter colored but still looks great! I do like how they give you touch up paint just in case but haven't had to use it yet. So happy I decided on this cage!

I love this cage for my Green Cheek Conure. I bought the black hammertone color. It's very sturdy & looks nice. We actually got compliments on this cage when it was still totally empty! I can't live without the swing out feeder doors. I love the smooth rolling casters that don't damage my linoleum floors and I love the dual lock system. We usually just use the swing latch above the door, but will use the actual lock if kids come over. Releasing the lock on the door is fairly loud and could be "jarring" for your bird, but you can easily cushion the blow by placing your finger at the other end of the lock before pressing the release. We attempted for about 2 minutes to assemble the seed guard "just 'cause" but gave up pretty quickly as we didn't feel they were necessary and I had read they were a beast to assemble. The instructions require a little common sense as the literature is vague, but it's definitely doable in 30-60 minutes with another person. One of the side panels was a little bent, but once slid into place it straightened out just fine. We had very little, if any, damage to our cage upon delivery. I will actually be sizing up to the Prevue 3154, which is the same cage design, but considerably larger. This one will still be in use as a sleep cage, sun cage, and/or for visiting the in-laws. I looked at all sorts of other flight cage brands when I decided to size up, but I just LOVE this one so much that I couldn't break away.

I ordered this cage for my green cheek conure. Great cage for the price. Size: is a perfect upgrade for him. He has plenty of room to climb around and play...it may even be a tad too spacious for him, if that is even possible. Although with birds you can never give them too big of an enclosure, as they will make use of whatever space you give them. Bird type: sise-wise I would say this cage is perfect for a parakeet or two, a cockatiel, a small to medium conure...(basically any small to medium sized bird), but make sure you check the dimensions before you order as there are a few options to buy. Quality/Design: very sturdy cage, great locking mechanism, coating makes it easy to clean. Bars are thicker and not flexible like other cheap cages. I like how far the catch tray is from the top of the cage because your bird cannot reach the bottom to eat gross, dropped seeds. The top of the cage is a perch/playtop with a removable catch tray, and my bird loves to sit up there (once he got used to it.) There are two mounts inside the cage for the included stainless steel bowls. What is really convienant is that the bowls are attached to their own separate, locking doors for easy access from the outside of the cage. (Ie: you don’t have to open the main door to get to them.) It also comes with two stainless bowls for the playtop perch. The metal seed guard is removable and I haven’t used it much...but it seems to work okay when I do have it on. However the cage won’t fit through doorways when the seed guard is on lol. It also won’t work if your bird flings seeds horizontally haha. Anyway, another great thing about this cage is the wheels, they are kind of like shopping cart wheels but they do the job. It’s nice to be able to move the cage easily to clean and move him around the house. Overall I think it is an awesome cage for the price and definitely better than most cheaper store bought cages. It is worth the extra few bucks to have a cage that will last, is easy to clean, and will not rust. My last $60 cage was a p.o.s. after a few years. Assembly: It took a little work to put together but it is mostly intuitive. It shouldn’t be too difficult to put together if you’re a least a tad handy. All the needed tools and screws are included. The only downside I see were the few slight defects where there were tiny parts on a bar where paint was missing, but they do include a touch up paint in the box. Definitely worth the purchase, especially when it is on sale!

Easy to assemble, I wasn't sure which size to get but the 18x18 was perfect for my Senegal parrot. The play area ontop is great and very secure. The food and water bowls are a a great size, and are easy to take out and clean. Overall I am very impressed with the quality of this cage and the price. It comfortably keeps my Senegal parrot. The 18x18 is appropriate for 1 parrot, in the senegal/cocketeil/meyers parrot size range. Easily would hold 2 small parrots with room to spare. If you have an African grey or a parrot comparible in size I would get the next size cage up.

We bought this as a temporary cage for those times we want our conure to hang out downstairs. We have a large Prevue cage already and we're happy with the quality, finish and design so we decided to stick with the brand instead of some off-brand that is cheaper. We LOVE this cage- we didn't realize our conure would enjoy the perch up top as much as he does. The doors for the bowls are kind of wonky- I understand why they did it the way they do and it's no big deal, but if I had a choice I'd go with the single type door on our larger cage. The four stainless bowls are included and are decent quality. The ladder looked as if it would be difficult for the bird due to the thin diameter wire for the rungs- but the bird has NO problem with it and enjoys it. We added a plastic chain from the lower part to upper perch play area to make it easier to climb- the drawer for the playpen makes it a long reach for the bird to climb without some help... the chain solved that. This cage exceeded our expectations and we may even get another one so we can have the bird with us anywhere in the house and have a place to play or be confined if it's being a little grumpy. I may be a VINE program reviewer, but this was a retail purchase at regular price- not part of the VINE program.

I purchased this cage for my Green Cheek Conure. He is only a baby at 10 weeks old, but I wanted a nice big cage for him. I think this cage would comfortably fit 2 green cheek conures or 2 slightly bigger birds (Sun Conure). Definitely not a cage for an adult African Grey or larger parrot. The largest bird(s) I would place in this cage is a Caique or a pair of them. The cage was pretty simple to assemble and I had it finished in about 30 minutes. I bought the hammertone black version and the paint job is very good quality overall. It's nice that they include some extra touchup paint in case you need it. I had one little problem with the metal perch bar holder at the top. The weld on one of the tabs was weak and the piece broke off as soon as I placed the wooden perch on it. I emailed Prevue and they replied back to me the same day and shipped out the replacement perch bar the same business day! I received it 2 days later and all is well. That's awesome customer service. Very pleased. A similar cage would sell for double at one of the big box Co or Mart stores.
