Prevue Hendryx Bird Cage

Well thought out and engineered in every single way
This will be a perfect travel cage for my green cheek conure. In my opinion, it shouldn’t be a home cage because I think that bigger is always better for a main cage. Every single part of me is impressed with this cage.The only gripe would be that there is a single handle in the middle which makes weight distribution a little funky and it’s made of the same wire as the bars so it would start to hurt if you have to carry the cage for a bit. The cup holder bolts could also be better and you would need a screwdriver to really get them to be hulked on to the bars, but you can have them stay just fine just using your hands. If your bird is an escape artist, the door mechanism may not be sufficient, but it’s just fine for me.Otherwise, everything else is ingenious. It took about 30 seconds to figure out how to expand it when I took it out of the box. The bowls are made in a SUPER smart way. You can kind of see it in the pictures, but the holders aren’t a perfect circle. they have little nubs coming out. The bowls have similar nubs on their outside so that you drop them into the loops and then rotate them so that they are locked in place and can’t come out until you line up the bowl nubs with the loop extrusions. I don’t think that it is super necessary, but it’s still very cool to me that someone thought out such an interesting concept. The bowls may be a little bit deep for some birds or for very small ones, but I’m sure that most people would be totally fine with using some of their own.The perch has deep anchoring grooves so that it’s easy to place it and it is very stable. There is also a mechanism to hold the cage in place when it is flattened out. The catch tray is secured into place with another wire door-type mechanism but is still super easy to get to and remove for whatever reason. If you do a little bit of jamming, you can even get the bowls to fit under the wire floor for storage in the catch tray.I personally know that I won’t just be using the items that come with the cage and will add some of my own, but you would be totally fine for with what it comes with. It’s an amazing buy at the price point (I got mine for $37 USD). For a small to medium bird, I would absolutely recommend this cage. Just don’t even bother looking at others. If you need a travel cage, this is perfect. The selling point for me was being able to collapse it. I am extremely satisfied and impressed.

Extremely satisfied
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 it’s 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. Don’t look any further. I am pretty particular and would highly recommend this travel cage.

We are highly satisfied with this product. Shipping was free and the cage arrived in good condition, just 2 days after our order was processed. The cage is super easy to set up and collapse again. Our Congo African Grey parrot (around 12″ long and weighing around 430g) is completely content in her travel cage when we take her outdoors for some sunshine. We use the perch that was included, but I wrapped it with some cloth to make it more comfortable and less slippery. I also lowered the perch by a couple of inches, just to give our medium sized parrot enough head space.We regularly use this handy cage to take her out and about in the car, and on day trips. Although she does put up with wearing an aviator harness (for short periods), most of the time she just seems happier relaxing in her travel cage instead. We have had no issues with the food and water bowls, removable tray or door. In fact the door is a good size and well places, so it’s very easy to gently get her in and out of her cage. Just to make sure our African Grey is safely contained at all times, we’ve put a few zip ties along the top perimeter of the cage, and we also use a decent lock on the cage door (hanging the keys with a clip on the outside). All in all, this travel cage is exactly what we needed to easily take our parrot everywhere with us.

Pros: A good-looking, lightweight, sturdy and practical travel cage which is easy to assemble and fold down afterwards for storage. Arrived well packed and was delivered very promptly.Cons: The carrying handle was in the wrong place so the cage tilted when carried (fine after I moved the handle with a pair of pliers). The bracket on one of the dish holders overlapped the screw hole so I couldn’t attach it to the bars (fine when I straightened it up).Verdict: A good price and well worth it for the trouble of straightening out the glitches with a small pair of pliers. Had it not been for these it would have got a straight five stars. My Senegal was very happy travelling in this cage.Tips: I added a smaller perch for my bird’s comfort and attached two swivel clips to the door for added security.
