Looking for Answers about PETCO Petco Designer Black Standing Cockatiel Cage?

Can't you just take the side of an older cage and wire it to the bottom? Then all you have to do is place a paper on the floor when cleaning or moving the cage.

Yes they do. They have a little thing on each wheel that you push down to lock it in place. Either way, the cage is heavy enough it won't roll anywhere!

yes they do

It will pop open in places when you go to lift the top part off the stand handle ..not very strong in that respect but it will pop back....hope this helps

The casters do not lock in place, but the cage is VERY heavy and I don't think you'll need locking casters.

No

Yes they lock in place with a flip switch.

No they do not. However the cage is heavy enough that it will not move if on carpet.

Yes they do , I just got this cage yesterday and I love it .

No. And I don't think it should, either. People shouldn't feed their parrots primarily seeds (which is the main cause of seed catchers being so high in demand.

No, unfortunately it doesn't come with a seed catcher! Although it would be so nice if it did, it doesn't, although I'm sure you can find a seed catcher in other local stores, your Petco store, or any website! :)

It does have a seed catch that works great if you block the 1/2" opening that runs along the width of the cage, just about the tray and below the seed catcher with paper.

No

No, it doesn't have a seed catcher (unlike the last cage I owned) and even with the seed catcher I used one of the cage skirts to help with the debris. With this new cage I just put the skirt onto this new cage. It works well when it's tucked underneath a bit. I've got 2 very messy cockatiels.

No, this cage is too small. The bigger the cage the better.

NO!!!

No, its too small. Look for a flight cage for birds like these: they need room to flutter about.

They are a glossy black

They're plain black; no silver whatsoever! The nice thing is the bars have a bit of shine to them, and the shine always stays :)

the bars are plain black and will look very nice in a colorful, well lit room.

The cage and stand are a glossy black, similar to a black metal dog crate.

it's all black

No, although I wish it did! Although black goes nicely with the color of the walls in my house, a variety would be nice too!

No!

No it's not! If you take the top part off you get the dome of the cage and nothing covering the floor of the dome. I find that just buying a small carrying cage from Petco.com or other websites works just as well.

yes it is detachable from stand, but the cage is a bit big.

For anyone wanting to know this. While it is just fine for parakeets, I would not recommend it for anything smaller than GOULDIAN Finches. Gouldians are larger than most other finches and mine are JUST big enough to be in this cage. The advertised size of the bar spacing (and also stated on the box) is 1/2 in. However, when I got mine....the bar spacing was actually a little more than 5/8 in.

Yes, I've had many budgies in it and they cannot get their head stuck. It's a good size for them to fly around in too.

THE BIGGER THE HAPPIER YOUR BIRD WILL BE. GET THE BIGGEST THAT YOU HAVE ROOM FOR. MY ROSE BREASTED COCKATOO HAS THE GRANDE DOMETOP AND LOVES IT.SHE IS AS BIG OR BIGGER THAN AN AFRICAN GREY.THE BIGGER THE EASIER TO KEEP CLEAN.

If they get along. Watch closely for long time 1st.

It took us a little while to put it together also. It really takes two people to accomplish this. It kept collapsing into itself, but eventually we got it to stay together easier, once we put it onto the base. And yes, those little "loose bars" are definitely meant to lock the sides into place. Pull them to the outside of the cage and snap them into place where one side connects to the other side. I also took black wire and wrapped around it and the bar, to keep it from popping back off.

I know how hard it is to find perches fitting that specific cage, so I usually buy the Booda Comfy Perches or other wood perches that stretch halfway across the cage! You can find those at any Petco store or petco.com. I also use the sand perches, as they work wonders for my birds' feet.
Good luck!

nesting boxes should be outside of cage, you could use the top open to access a nesting box, but I think this particular cage is not good for that purpose.

I wouldn't recommend this cage for a parakeet, the bars are too far apart, the bird could get through bars or worse might get caught and injured.

Im sorry I made a mistake. It can fit 2-4 cockateils
