Great for eclectus

Much larger than I expected for the money. Cleans easily and looks great. Fits my eclectus parrot perfect.

Well-designed; has held up very well!

This cage is such a great purchase. My dad bought this a few years back for when I need to take his Sengal parrot to care for when he's away. It fits perfectly in my passenger-side (buckled in!) when I have the large cage broken down for transport. The door is very simple to use and thus far has been escape-proof! This is very easy to "knock down" to the storage size and is intuitive to figure out. I know the original cage came with a perch, but my more recent purchase also included two feeding dishes. These dishes are well designed in that the rings that adhere to the cage have two places on either side where the ring juts out a bit; these correspond to two little bumps in the sides of the bowls. Thus, when you drop the bowl in and twist, this deters any little birds from picking up the bowl and throwing it (as a certain senegal loves to do....). I liked the design enough that I bought a second one for my two indian ringnecks for any transport needs that they might have. Admittedly, it's a bit tighter with two of them, especially with their tails, but for short-term use, this is a great cage!

Excellent travel cage

I love this cage. It's sturdy and folds together like a dog kennel and collapses for easy storage. We needed something for our conure to be in so he can sit outside on nice sunny days. It's roomy and should be something he can comfortably spend the weekend in when we take road trips. I wouldn't recommend this cage for smaller birds like finches or parakeets because of the wider bar spacing. It would be a bit cramped for larger birds like macaws or cockatoos

Love it

I had my doubts about this cage being retractable and all of that but I love it and so does my sun conure! It was bigger than expected which of course is good for longer trips or car rides. It was between this and the Suncast pet carrier. After watching reviews it was obvious that the Suncast was too small for a week long trip so I chose this and I'm glad I did. Always keep in mind that you don't want to keep swinging toys in any car ride because it could smack against your bird during turns etc I took out the wooden dowel it comes with (because all bird owners know that dowels suck) and replaced it with one comfy rope perch, a calcium perch, and a treat perch for variety! The food dishes are deep so you can avoid as much spillage and you can still add a minimum amount of water and avoid spillage during car rides (if your bird isn't bottle trained) I would recommend a seed catcher to avoid getting seeds in your car / wherever your taking a trip to, and I would also recommend zip ties to tie down toys to the side of the cage (during the car trip) so your bird doesn't get injured.

This is the absolute best travel cage

I have 3 conures and a hahn's macaw. This was my second purchase of the Prevue Travel Cage. I understand that the product folds up nicely but that is not what attracted me to it. I bought my second one because it is absolutely fabulous for traveling. I am a Florida snowbird so I travel twice a year with my parrots in the back seat of my car. These cages allow them to be comfortable for 2-3 days at a time. They can see out of all sides and have room to move around. Most travel cages made me feel sorry for my bird being cramped up and unable to see the world going by. I was also very pleased at the cost for such wonderful quality.

Excellent for travel and to put my bird to bed at night!!

For the purposes of travel it is excellent. It would be nice if there was a way to have a perch on top of the cage. However, it does the job. I like the removable tray that is washable. I can just hose it off and put it back into use after drying it. I use this cage for travel with my Conure. However, I also use it as a bedtime device for him as it is easier to cover and keep it dark for him. The product is a great quality. The latch on the door/gate, however, would be better if it was able to be locked into a closed position so the bird can't easily open it. The gate latch just slides open/closed. It could use a bend on the end of it to require the latch be rotated and slid to lock the gate open/closed.

Works for average birds, not intelligent conures

I purchased this as a temporary cage for a conure that my husband rescued from a tree in our neighborhood until we found the owner. Well, this clever little guy was able to escape the lock and we had to get pretty creative to secure him in the cage. My parakeets would not have been able to get out of this cage, but conures will let you know that you need to up your game if you want them to stay in the cage. We had to finally put a padlock on the cage to secure him. Overall, the cage is well-made, easy to assemble and easy to carry. I still recommend it as a travel means for your birds.

Great cage for my needs

Very happy with this cage. My avian vet is almost an hour from my house, and I needed a better "travel" cage for my birds. I'm very happy with this cage, and all of my birds, Amazons and Greys both, will fit comfortably in it. It was easy to put together. In fact, it took me longer to open the package than to put the cage together. Not complaining.....it was wrapped very well, and of course, the cage was in perfect shape. Also, it's nice and light, but sturdy. I'm very happy I ordered it. And as a side note, I still have a Prevue 125 cage that I bought in 1988. When I got my first parrots, this was just about the only cage available. As I got bigger cages, I kept the Prevue for a while, intending to move it away as soon as the birds got settled. But they napped and played so well in the old Prevue cage, I kept it next to their new cages, and 25 years later, they still love it.

Very Pleased!

Although Prevue Pet Products Travel Cage comes with easy-to-follow steps to assemble instructions with graphic pictures, this cage is one of the simplest to put together. In the box, the cage is already attached. Just lift the top--the top and bottom are already attached to two sides, and then hook the remaining two sides. That's it. The space between the perch and bottom is about 5 inches. Ideal for a medium-ish parrot. The space between the perch and top is about 7 inches. There's really no adjusting the perch. For my Senegal, the spacing is perfect. Although my Eclectus parrot fits, his head is too close to the top for even short-term traveling. Not all parrots have a fear of the cage top being so close to their head, but mine does. With the bar spacing at 3/4 of an inch, I'm not sure this would be ideal for small parrots. The cage comes with two stainless steel dishes that lock in. Good for parrots who like to remove dishes. Also the screws for the dishes are on the outside. My Senegal loves to remove bowls, nuts and bolts, etc., so this is a plus for me. Last, the bottom tray locks in so that it won't slide out during travel. I'm extremely pleased with the quality of the cage, the way the cage locks, and the thick perch which is about an inch in diameter.

Excellent little travel cage.

Excellent little travel cage. We have a 6 month pineapple green cheek conure that we recently took on his first road trip across several states and although he sat on either my husband or myself for the majority of the journey, this travel cage provided and excellent place to keep him safe while we dined out and overnight while he slept. He didn't have a single accident which I attribute to the accessibility of the cage in the backseat and the fact our bird is freaking rad. We had brought along a 14 in comfy perch for him to sleep on and he much preferred sitting on that as opposed to the provided perch at night. I saw other reviews stating that the bar spacing was too wide to safely leave a green cheek in, and although it is wider than what is suggested for a green cheek conure, I would've been amazed if our bird found any motivation to push his head through the bars. On the way home you could tell that he was getting a little worn down from all the going's on over the past few days and he happily spent the last few hours of our journey shredding some paper toys at the bottom of his cage, while it was half covered up. Definitely a solid little cage and the ease at which it folds up and stores is a huge plus. I would certainly repurchase should the need arise.
