This cage was easy to set-up with two people. Upon recommendation from someone, we did not install the seed catchers along the bottom of the cage, as we had heard they would require daily cleaning and frustration. We feed our Green Cheek Conure a pellet diet, so flung seeds are not really an issue and any fruits or veggies he scatters go beyond the distance of what these would catch anyway.

The 24"x20"x60" size gives him ample room to explore and room for lots of perches and toys to keep him entertained when not outside of his cage. And the large-sized Good Night Bird Cover, also by Prevue, fits perfectly over this cage, covering all sides. The wheels move easily so you can relocate the cage or move it for cleaning. Highly recommend this cage!

We bought this cage for our conure, and it took me about 35 or 40 minutes to put it together. It wasn't difficult to put together, the only thing that took effort was showing the wheels into the ends of the legs because it was a really tight fit, but I don't think they'll be coming loose at all"”ever.

So far, so good! We have the birds new space all set up and it's great! I think our conure is cozy and happy. We got the smallest cage, definitely glad I didn't get a bigger size because I don't think it's necessary for a smaller size parrot.

I don't think I'd recommend this cage for bids smaller than a conure because they might be able to stick their heads through the bars of the cage and hurt themselves.

Great cage, seems to be of good quality, the seed shield around the bottom seems to work well, and if I have any other updates in a few weeks or months I'll come back and write about it. Navi the conure approves of the purchase!

This review is on the putting together of the cage after receiving it in the mail only ! First of all, I have seen lots of comments on the box not being complete with all the parts and a strange smell, etc. The cage we received (the 18x18x57) had none of that. It came complete, well packaged and in excellent condition. Secondly, I have seen comments about the instructions to put it together being incomplete and basically just pictures of how to put it together. Again, totally different than what we received. For someone who has put together any type of products (furniture, toys, etc) this will be a breeze. Step by step instructions were provided and the pictures for the most part were spot on. The only part that was a bit confusing was the very last step of putting together the seed skirt. But after a few minutes it makes sense and you almost feel like a dope for not understanding what was listed. The build process took about 90 minutes to complete. It took two of us (me, 53 yr old dad and my 18 yr old daughter) to finish. The only tools needed were the enclosed allen wrench and at the end a pair of needle nose pliers (helps hold the nuts when fastening the seed skirt. The second person is needed a few times just to have another set of hands. Bottom line recommendation based on my experience: GET IT ! We are waiting on our cockatiel baby to be weaned so we can bring it home from the breeder. I cant see this cage not being perfect for him because it is well built, easy to put together and it seems very sturdy !! If I remember, after we receive our bird and he has been in the cage for a bit, I will update this review, but again, I cant see why this cage wont be perfect for a cockatiel or anything smaller !!!

This is a great product. Our Green Cheek Conure has never been happier-- seriously! While in every enclosure previous to this, he would either mope, or screech with disapproval. Since giving him his new home, he is much better-mannered and flutters from side to side gleefully. I don't know if others will experience the same, but our buddy loves it.

Setup took maybe 2 hours, but my wife and I were just hanging out while doing it, so it probably could be done faster.

We LOVE the sturdiness of the cage and double security of the cage door (latch on top and push-button lock).

There are only two items of "negative" feedback:
1) Given then thickness of the bars, our Conure struggles to climb off the gate/door onto the rest of the enclosure. He rarely flies, so we usually end up helping him out. Larger birds, or smaller ones who fly often, shouldn't have a problem.

2) Although the surrounding "stuff catcher" does gather most of the food and waste byproducts, it still doesn't catch the feathers (they are light and float around, after all). Just take that into consideration if you hope there won't be cleanup required around the enclosure any more.

This cage came much quicker than the delivery date showed. It arrived in great shape. No damage other than a couple minor surface scratches. No big deal. The cage is beautiful. We couldn't decide between the 18" and the 20x24" cage. We opted to get the larger one (20x24). So glad we did. We have 2 Cockatiels in it with lots of toys and there is plenty of room. The smaller cage would have been a little tighter. So we made the right call. We love it and the birds love it. Only thing is the birds can't get to the play area on top without help so we will have to get something to hang there to help them.
