Comments about Clean Life Bird Cage:

I inherited this cage along with a one eyed cockatiel who was starved for mental development. In less than 3 years, the cage has fallen apart. The plastic clips that hold the base of the cage to the top have broken off, so if you pick up the cage at the top, the bottom falls off. You have to pick up the cage by the base. The clips that hold the bottom shelf to the cage have broken too. The base has cracked, and the edges of the removable tray have cracked and chipped and will not last much longer. When I went looking for perches to put in it, I was astounded to find there were no commercially made ones. I used branches from the trees in the yard, but have trouble getting them to stay put. Seems the bird knocks them down all the time, even when I wedge them into the bars. The outside access doors for the feed trays are good, since he is a hostile bird. I do move him in and out when the weather is good, but have to place shade on top of the cage to protect him when the sun moves. I would not reccommend this cage. I am shopping for another one, maybe the Havana for a little more money. If the cage only lasts about 3 years, it is cheaper to go with a more sturdy one that has a great deal more room, as it is cheaper in the long run. Birds live a very long time if well cared for, so you may as well make a logical, smart investment. Your choice, [$] for a well made, large cage on wheels with storage underneath, or save a few bucks and get this [$] poorly made plastic thing that will be broken in a few years?

I have had this cage for 6 weeks. The door latch broke off within 3 weeks and has had to be rigged in such a way that it is inconvenient to use. The top of the cage is so poorly made that it is not square and does not fit neatly on the sides leaving odd sized gaps (not big enough for the bird but looks strange). The wires are flimsy...At 1/2 inch spacing I can put my finger in and move them. Clips for food and toys just push the wires aside and do not stay in place, especially on the top of the cage.
It is used for a parrotlet so is not battered by a large bird, it is just very poorly made.
