If you end up needing zip ties, don't use plastic as the bird can eventually chew it through. Instead get the stainless steel ones. They're like a dollar each but worth it.
Also, if the food doors are like on the picture, don't kid yourself. A tinkering parrot with all day on its hands can open it from inside by push/pulling back and forth on it from inside a lot. I suspected Kili was getting out with that kind of food door lock so I've been adding a second spring loaded clip to that to keep her in. This is what's dumb about all the cages cause they'll put a lot of security into the main door and then make everything else flimsy and insecure.
Nice review.

The metallurgical results will be negative. At this point it's a rare day they are possitive.
I saw that cage yesterday with a grey in it, nice bang for the buck. I would also not trust the food latches. Just my .02
Be Big,

Would this cage be suitable for a White Bellied Caique?

Ok So I bought this cage for my WB Caique........2 hours, 2 people, 1 sliced finger, 2 sore backs, and 2 headaches later the cage is finished And keep in mind part of my husband's jo is to put together cages at work.... needless to say this one wasn't easy-easy 
I like the size of this cage....It's massive!!!! Wish the toy stand on the play part could fit into the opposite side of the cage....in my home it won't work where it's positioned. Oh well........I also wish the cups were not on top of each other......but overall I think the cage was a good buy.
How have you guys hung toys from the top of the cage? Or do i have it set up wrong? The very top of my cage is solid- the bottom of the play tray......or should I put the grate without a handle in first and then the tray on top? Not sure that would fit.......
I have a twirly rope swing for my boy- but with the top not having bars I have no idea how to hang it......
