Prevue Flight Bird Cage in Blush Finish (F042)

This is a beautiful bird cage! It is so spacious and perfect for soon to be my cockatiel! The most difficult part about the set up of this cage is putting on the legs and the wheels. The wheels are very very difficult to get in and the legs fit very tightly against the bottom piece of the cage. I wound up scratching some of the colouring off of the metal because of it, thankfully it was just a little bit and is not visible. That being said once step two is completed the cage is rather easy to finish setting up and took me under an hour to finish building. Overall a beautiful flight cage and I can’t wait to get my new bird!

EXCELLENT home for our finches. It breaks my heart to give this cage a 4.5. The cage point breakdown is as follows: For the sturdy construction and materials used a 1. Safety of the cage for the occupant a 1. For the number and sizes of doors-I give the cage a .5. For the addition of a new color (blush, which is gorgeous by the way), .5. For the ease of understandability of instructions-1. For the size of this flight cage- .5. That is how I determined my score. The deterrent of the cage are: Ease of construction-it took my husband AND myself assemble. My husband said he could have assembled it himself in 30 minutes IF he had 3 arms and those arms were each 5 feet long. The doors are not slide up and down-they are swing doors. That does not allow additional accessories to be added. Another consideration of the cage is the up and down opening of the doors which helps to restrain the occupants from having a big adventure. (Note to manufacturers of this cage (should they read this review), I would love to wholeheartedly give this cage a 6. Given that reviews are limited to a 5, I would consider the flaws to be a serious drawback. I would think about making revisions to the cage. Obviously I am not an expert, just a consumer. Thanks for reading and considering my review.)

High quality powder-coated steel cage. Large flight cage. Decent price. I love the blush color. Powder-coated steel cages last at least twice as long as wrought iron cages. Thus it’s worth paying the slightly higher price. They are known to last 20+ years. They are easy to clean. Typically just need a wipe down. The cage is wide enough to allow for flying. The height allows for multiple levels of movement. Very happy.

This is probably the best large birdcage commercially available. It’s attractive and fairly sturdy. If you are putting it together with two people, it will be really easy. If you’re putting it together by yourself, make sure you’re not in an hurry. You can do it, but not if you’re in an hurry. It really requires four hands. Unfortunately for me, this is really intended for cockatiels and parrots. I bought it to use for Finches. I cannot understand why the cage companies can’t make a big cage that is suitable for Finches and other small birds. If you’re getting this to use for parakeets or anything smaller, the food, dishes and perches are simply too large.

I saw another review where the writer was upset because the bottom tray was made of plastic. I personally feel like it’s great, because, even though I use cage liners, inevitably moisture from spills gets under them and then the paint eventually peels and the tray rusts , and I am unable to find anyone who sells replacement trays. The tray in this cage is sturdy plastic and I couldn’t be happier. The cage itself is nice - it’s sturdy enough and definitely very roomy! My three parakeets will love it - once I catch them and get them in there! I had a friend put it together, so I can’t speak to how difficult it was to assemble, but he didn’t seem to have any problems with it. I’m satisfied!
