Yaheetech Wrought Iron Bird Travel Carrier Cage

Dwergpapegaai

Bought this as a travel cage for my cockatiel. There’s more than enough room for him. I bought assorted perches separately which turned out good because the one provided was too loose and a bit big for my tiel. My boy is happy with his new set up that I couldn’t convince him to come out of it so he ended up sleeping in it the first night. Really no complaints other than the assembly instructions were not great but it’s pretty self explanatory once you start, so not a big deal. Great value for the price in my opinion.

This cage is perfect. Very well made. Safe to say my little houdini can’t escape. Ideal for allowing time to enjoy the garden. Cheeko loved it straight away. Absolutely brilliant cage and was very easy to put together. I’m very happy as it’s also simple to clean too 🙂

I have a green cheek conure called Peta. I had previously purchased a different travel cage which resembled a back back which Peta absolutely hated and became stressed when using it. The yaheetech travel cage is excellent. More than ample size to happily accommodate a conure for travel purposes. With the perch in a lower position I believe it is of ample size for larger birds for travel purposes. Sister and niece both have ringneck parrots which this cage would easily accommodate with plenty space for travel. I found the cage easy to assemble considering I am in no way DIY minded. Good sturdy cage looks great. Not too heavy and fits easily in the car. Two feeding bowls so he can drink and eat and plenty space to put toys. I like the pullout tray at the bottom for easy cleaning. Very happy with this purchase. More importantly Peta is far happier using this travel cage. The price is fantastic for what you get.

Over time with my African gray I have learned, he doesn’t warm up to new things very fast. It took him months to get used to a perch and several weeks of a brand new larger bird cage then the cage he lived in when we traveled in the RV.
So don’t get discouraged if your bird doesn’t get excited right after setting this cage up.. it came very quickly and easy instructions. Actually I could see exactly how things needed to go fairly simple to figure out without reading. At the time of setup I could see that some wheels on the bottom would make it even easier for me to maneuver it around the house or down the sidewalk when carrying it out to the truck then nice if they came with it but I did have some.
I did have some extra wheels that snapped in to the bottom bars and four me being an older woman that made it a lot easier to get him around when he did eventually get into the cage. They were some wheels that came off of an old tupperware drawer set that I had they fit in tight so I DIY and recycled. So I set this up for him just like I did anything else and put it right beside his cage.. it’s just a few days quite faster than normal he slowly started towards it climbing on the outside.. I told him he needed to get in the cage and I would take him outside and he said “okay” with his little shaky not sure voice. Of I really don’t want to🙄 but okay LOL . After he did are closed the door and he said oh oh.. I rolled him over to the front door where he could see out the screen door and he said this was cool.. I told him that we got it so he can go inside the truck with us.
then out of the clear blue when daddy came home in the truck he said “Einstein can go bye-bye. Hey buddy Bird go bye-bye let’s go” So my husband his buddy and I easily carried and set it in the backseat of our F-150 pickup truck in the truck.. with the wheels on it is set at the perfect height so he can still see out the back window and even the front windows and sides sitting in the center I put the seat belt through the brackets I did go over with other straps just to be 100% secure it was his first time in this case.. I asked him if he felt safe and he said yeah buddy.. because he was in his truck travel cage lol.. I did not know he understood exactly what the cage was for but he did and now he gets excited if I tell him to get in his truck cage he knows he’s getting to go bye-bye with us.. The item is very sturdy. The Assembly of it was fairly easy to figure out. And seems to be holding tight with just hand tighten the screws that one time. It is also very easy to clean and I like that the plastic tray underneath dose lock in with the wire bracket to prevent him from getting to the bottom of food that he has thrown down. The screen that just wrap completely around the cage and it seems adequate to prevent food from normal village from going outside of the cage it does work quite well. However Einstein can throw Tantrums and if you get something he doesn’t really want that day he will Rose throw it like throw it at you telling us you eat that crap I don’t want it today. But the next day he’ll request for it. So because of those. I did get one of the extra large pet pee pee pads protect our leather seats and that also works as a cover over him so he doesn’t get cold or scared when placing him in to the pickup. And my daughter has used a throat carpet to protect her seat because she had to remove the wheels that I had put on before so it would fit into her small SUV car backseat. And she had to rely on the Net that comes with the cage she felt that it work great to catch any seeds to keep her back seat clean.. I am very pleased with it.. and the price was affordable for us I could see cheaper travel cages but I did not believe they would hold up for the longevity that I needed and how destructible and African gray can be. So I got excited when I saw a metal cage at a very portable price I anticipated on it being more flimsy but it is definitely not it is high quality feeling the latch every bit of it I am very pleased with it I’ve had it for quite a while before I did this review if you could tell what the stories it is been going through real life experience with an elderly couple and their adult daughter with our 30 plus year old African gray that still thinks the whole world revolves around him and him only FYI when you do take your bird out on a new adventure hopefully you won’t be embarrassed like we were when he saw the Amazon truck he would not quit screaming hey I’m over here give me my package what did I get hey Amazon I’m over here we kept telling him that’s not our package that’s not our Amazon truck but he would not stop luckily the person came out and out of the amazement the Amazon driver recognized Einstein from times that he was on the porch when they were delivering homeless glad to take a second and say hello to Einstein he said you’d probably have a new package coming in a couple days but he didn’t have one that day. LOL way to upsell Amazon driver so yeah I ordered LOL so it does slide in pretty easy in the vehicle and even as an older woman is not too heavy for me to handle even with him inside the cage I have picked it up numerous times set them out on the deck on the porch as well as waiting on my daughter or my husband to get home and take him for a ride he gets excited when he knows it’s Friday or Saturday and he now is requesting to go in his truck cage. If anything ever happens to it I would definitely be repurchasing this one but as far as it breaking for normal wear and tear I don’t see that happening soon.

This was delivered fast and in perfect condition, even with a delay due to bad weather. I actually put it together myself while hubby was taking a nap. I am no means a tech, or good at assembling things. I am in my 70’s to make matters worse! LOL…Directions were FOLLOW THE PICTURES. Simple! I also looked at a photo of the assembled cage on the Amazon ad… 4 sides, a top and a bottom. Wasn’t hard to figure out where the feed bowls went. The handle??? I took a wild guess and placed the handle on the top of the cage. It worked! LOL! Much easier to assemble than I expected. Lay all the pieces on the floor before you start. That will give you a good visual. Then FOLLOW THE PICTURES!

I bought this for my African grey ONLY to use if a trip to the vet is necessary. Also to have him in a ready, set, go mode, during severe weather. Once we get a tornado warning, we need to get into our shelter. We have a built-in shelter inside our garage and there is a special place for the cage to sit. Please do not keep your bird in this cage for long periods of time, unless you are traveling and have no other choice. It is not made for housing. That would be cruel…..
Although I have not had a need to use this cage yet, THANK GOODNESS, I am pleased with my purchase and highly recommend it. I really like the hammered look for the surface. I have also placed toys inside, just in case… I removed the wooden perch, they are not good for the birds feet, and replaced it with a soft cotton cross rope. They look like an X shape with plastic ends that connect together to the cage wires. Sold on Amazon. I really wish they would put a rope inside the cage, as other brands have done. Add a rope and FORGET the mesh cage cover. My bird would get that beak on that mesh cover, and just how long do you think it will last??? Not long at all. Complete waste! Buy a nice rope for your bird to stand on. Give him a few toys. He will love you for it!!! Do not hesitate to buy this cage, unless you own a Macaw parrot. This would be much too small. Pay attention to the measurements before ordering.
