Large Wrought Iron Bird Cage

Missing and damaged parts
The first thing my husband and I noticed was that the seed catch panels, for around the bottom of the cage, were bent and damaged so bad that they are unusable. There were not enough screws provided, to attach all of the panels. The screws on the play area, on the top of the cage, are so long and stick out really far. It would have made more sense to have shorter screws for this. Not only so your bird doesn’t get hurt on them, but also for esthetics. The other issue we had was that the panels of the cage were also bend. For the order of the first cage we got, the panels were bent so bad that they couldn’t have been screwed together. The box was crushed and damaged, almost like something heavy was set on the cage, at the warehouse, and it bent some of the panels of the cage around the other panels of the cage. So we had to return that cage and order again. This time, the seed catch panels were very damaged and unusable but the panels of the cage were not bent. The latch on the main door of the cage is loose and not very secure either. You can tell that the latch is very low quality. I guess we can make it work. We have a conure and I don’t see it being able to move the latch, to escape. One of the biggest issues I have had is that the latches for the food bowl doors don’t stay screwed in. These latches have to be swiveled around, to open the food bowl doors and then slid back down over the door, to lock it shut. Each time I open the latch, I have to twist the screw, that is holding the latch, back in. Otherwise the screws get very lose and then the latch just dangled there. It has been very annoying to have to deal with this every day. The problem is that the selection of heavier duty cages like this is very limited and there is not much of a selection. If I could have ordered a similar cage, from a different company, for a better quality cage for the high price I paid, I would have. For the $400 I paid for this cage, the quality should have been way higher and parts of the cage should not have arrived damaged and unusable. I was tired of having to order and return and then order again and also deal with lugging this heavy cage back to the shipping company to return it and so I just made do but being able to use the seed catch border would have been nice, so seed doesn’t get all over the floor. I know it’s pointless to try to request new parts for this because customer service is just going to tell me I have to return the entire cage and reorder. Both the first and second order of this cage came with those parts damaged and unusable and I’m sure I would have the same issue with the third order and risk the panels of the cage on the third order being damaged as well. I would not have ordered from this company, if there had been other companies to order this cage from.

Great size
It’s a great cage and my bird loves it. My only complaint is that one of the feed doors was hanging off but I was able to fix it.

Wouldn’t buy again!
I bought two of these cages and have been testing them out for a few months, so I’d like to share my thoughts. The cages were pretty easy to assemble and are quite sturdy for my lovebirds. There are a few things I’m not a big fan of though. The doors can be a bit awkward, and I couldn’t find a bird bath or nesting box that I could attach to the outside. The doors aren’t very easy to remove, and I’ve avoided trying, just in case I break something or can’t get it back on easily. The feeder doors only have a little swinging clip instead of a lock, and that clip often comes loose. A few times I’ve come home to loose birds. I’m guessing the dogs passed by and rubbed up against the cage, which nudged the clip and allowed the birds to escape. Because of that, I’d say it’s not the best choice for outdoor use—it’s not entirely secure. After doing a lot of research and investing in some upgrades—including adding locks and securing it better—I feel it’s more reliable now. Would I buy this type of cage again? Probably not. But overall, given the price, it was a decent investment.

Bait and Switch didn’t get the large new cage pictured
Bait and Switch. Did not receive the cage pictured. I instead got a 1/3 smaller similar factory defective cage with 8 bent damaged pieces, missing the perch, food bowls and brackets. The seed catch was bent on all 4 corners and won’t fit in place because the screw holes can’t be aligned. Check the one star reviews and see how many others have the same complaint. I’ve asked Amazon to remove their misleading deceptive listing and filed an A to Z claim
