Prevue Pet Products Wrought Iron Select Bird Cage Pewter Hammertone 3151BLK

The media could not be loaded. 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!

I purchased this Prevue 3154 large parrot cage, and also a Prevue 5152 small parrot cage, both from Amazon itself.The small one arrived first. One box. It had a few parts banging around in the box.The one actual issue was the lower tray slides were totally twisted out of alignment. Ten minutes with some careful hammer tapping, and they were back to being lined up pretty good.Assembly was easy. Great. I waxed it, and waxing the drawer slides really make the removable parts slide. Perhaps TOO easy! The 'fit and finish' only the sloppy welds/grinding under the paint. and the somewhat messy paint and scratches in the trays.. But from a few feet away, it looks fine.I like the cage.The large Prevue 3154 with two boxes each arriving on a different day.The first box of small parts all was well. The second box was not so well.In it, one of the cage sides (one with dish holders) was seriously bent with a huge "S" curve in the middle. I was lucky I had already banged out the small parrot cage issues. So i set out to 'fix' the curve with a hammer, and a block of wood. With some patience, and a little wear on the paint (though none of the paint actually came off) I was able to reform it into a straight panel. Lucky. ((for many it would not be feasible, as I am rather handy AND patient(and knew the paint would stand up to hammering, and was willing to wack away at it) , it was possible.)Additional issues were one of the 8 metal "U" clips welded to the back (to hold the sides down) came loose. I had to go buy an epoxy glue for metal, and clean and reattach the part. Decent job, not pretty. (never did it before) Hope it sticks.Also the front door has a painted over glob of welding material right at the top of the door.Some of the parts are welded crooked. And a few touch ups are evident in the paint.If I paid retail for this i would be returning it.Calling Prevue's 800 number (supplied) was worthless. I emailed them and we will see what happens. The final bit was one of the rubber inserts holding the casters was missing. I asked them via email to send me one.I have no idea if they would have been willing to replace the "S" messed up side. The backside with the broken off clip, and the front door.As it is, I am satisfied since I am able to fix the problems. (even the rubber part is a common hardware store item.)For the money, it is a good cage for anyone able to handle a few rough bits like I did.Some of the cage parts bend very easily. And can be tapped with a hammer (or banged as needed) to straighten.To anyone I would say you have a good chance of needing some of these same skills I used if you buy this cage online.Would Prevue send replacement parts to those not so lucky, or not so willing to do this work? I do not know.So I give th cages a FOUR STAR. Not perfect. but pretty good.My birds like them.(though I plan on adding a 'porch' under the door. My birds love the drawbridge type door on their old cages which with a chain on the side can be a porch. So i may find a way to have a flap fold 'up, which can clip 'up' to horizontal via a chain on one side for them to have a 'porch' back again.)(someone should make these sorts of things..)For those with no patience for little issues. buy it locally and pay the extra $200. And make the dealer set it up.... (so you are buying one you can SEE, before paying for it.)

After reading all the negative reviews I was sceptical about ordering but I already have one Preview cage that I love.Packaging was horrible, very beat up when it arrived, but inside packaging was good. It came in 2 boxes tied together and were falling apart and awkward because of the weight. UPS driver had a hard time getting it out of the truck.I checked all pieces before putting together and everything was fine except a couple of slightly bent bars that bent back easily with no damage. No paint chipping.It took about 45 minutes to put together but wasn't hard. Just follow the directions. I don't know what all the complaints about the directions are for, I didn't have any problems following them.It does come with seed guards but I removed them so the cage can fit through doorways. I would like to see them redesign the guards to fold up to fit through the doorways. I made my own guards that sit flush using plexiglass and velcro that works much better.All in all this is the only bird cages I would recommend for this price range. They are very sturdy, wheel easily from room to room and the birds love the playtop.

Great cage, came packaged well with outer corner protectors, inside was wrapped in bubble wrap, zip ties and cardboard and Styrofoam went together pretty well some bolts on the top part didn't line up well but I was able to get them in on a slight angle with patients however they were not too far off where I could not get them in, just do it slow until the thread catches and slowly screw in. The wooden perches smelled funky like chemicals so wash them, don't submerge. In fact I would recommend Washing everything before you put birds in it and give it a feel down inside to make sure their are no sharp edges or snaggs in the metal. The only issue I have is the ladder is about 1-1.25 in too long to put in the top play area I can only guess that the ladder was meant for a bigger cage and was accidentally placed with this one. I love that it came with touch up paint and small paint brush, thank you for that. I know it's almost impossible to have a perfect item come through shipping without a small dent or scratch so like the instructions state have some needle nose pliers handy to tweak the dents, I would place a rubber grippy over the metal you intend to reshape to protect the paint from scratching, but like I said it came with touch up paint. All in all our cockatiel is happy it's not a bulky cage, great for smaller apartment and it will fit the net type seed catcher if you decide to not use the one provided with the cage. I would show a pic of the ladder but for some reason amazon does not give me that option with every review???? I recommend this cage!
