Saturday, February 5, 2011 Flight Aviary Cage – White (Large) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a really great cage for finches.The bars are truly 3/8" (haven't measured them, but they are closer than any 1/2" I've seen), so escapes are nearly impossible.It is quite spacious, larger than the standard 32 X 22 flight cage out there by 5" in both directions, which is significant.This cage allows finches a good amount of flight room, which is what they need, since you don't normally let a finch out in your house to exercise.The pitched roof is decorative looking.With a few silk flowers, you can make it look very nice.

There are two very large doors on the front, large enough that I can get my whole upper torso inside the cage.Inside both of those are two small slide-up doors.Each side also has two slide-up doors which either hold the large feeders that come with the cage, or seat perfectly the seed hoppers that you can buy from bird supply sites.I also have a bird bath on one of them.On top of my cage I've placed a full spectrum bird light attached to the "roof" via mini bungee cords.

The wire is fine gauge, so probably not good for chewers, but excellent for finches, as there is less metal to obstruct your view.The bottom tray is METAL, not plastic like so many others, and it's deep, so if you want to use aspen shavings, it will contain them with minimal mess on the floor.There is a removable grate above the tray.That leaves a space large enough for smaller finches to escape, so you can either slide the tray in that upper track, or keep it in the lower track and cover that open space with a piece of trim.I used a decorative piece, painted it white, drilled holes on the ends and used electrical ties to hook it on.It looks fantastic.

Two perches that run the length of the cage are included, but not good to use, as perches should run across the shorter depth of the cage to encourage flying the greatest possible length.I've used a combination of SAFE branches from outside, and perches of varying diameters that can be purchased from bird supply sites.Finches supposedly only use the top half of a tall cage like this, but no one told that to mine.They usually sleep in the top half (caught my goldbreasts sleeping on the floor once, though!), but they fly everywhere, from top to bottom, side to side.The great height was not wasted on my birds.

This flight cage is very easy to clean.My three pairs of finches love it.I've posted some pics.If I could change anything at all, it would be to make it available in charcoal/black like the Prevue F040 flight cage.That said, the white looks pretty and doesn't seem to interfere with viewing the birds.
