Prevue Hendryx Clean Life Playtop Cage, White, 1/2" (SP851W/W)

This is a pretty good bird cage for its price. When I first got it the door was broken but it was damaged and shipping, I fixed it myself.

Product arrived damaged with several of the wires broken off the cage top. I hot glued them back on and am getting by like that for now while I wait for a replacement from Prevue.Pros:- plenty of room for our two budgies- they love the play top!Cons:- flimsy hardware- not all that "clean". the wide base seems to help slightly, but i think it should be even wider to make good on claims of keeping the environment around the cage clean.Plenty of room for our two budgies. I like the play top.

Its idea is good, but its manufacturing is not good at all.

After reading reviews on TONS of bird cages here on Amazon and other bird-oriented websites, I chose the Clean Life Prevue cage.I am giving it 4 stars because:* yes it is flimsy and seems like it would only be good for parakeets. The wire bars came out of the box bent in places but because they are so thin I was able to bend them back into place, sorta.*The actual USABLE cage space for my bird is only 17" W X 17" D X 24" H (NOT 18") but the outside footprint of the cage is 22" W X 22" D X 27.5" T I was disappointed that my bird did not get to use more of that space.* As stated in other reviews, the door is weird. I think anything other than a parakeet would be able to work the door to get the latch open. My bird doesn't like to come outside of his cage at all so for him it's fine.*Because of the design, the food doors are too low to allow me to install the bath house. As a result, I am going to have to cut the cage wire to install the bath house - which should be easy since it is so flimsy :)*The cage came with 3 perches. 2 of them are long enough but the 3rd is not. Why? Weird.Overall, I am fine with it. It works for my purposes - giving a rescued parakeet more room. It was the least expensive cage for the size that I wanted. I am mostly happy with it. As I use it, I will update this review accordingly.

I love this cage - I have one exactly like this but without the playtop and my birds LOVE it. SUPER durable and the tray catches a lot of junk they throw out with their beaks! My birds are small budgies.The cage goes together easy and is very sturdy. It is a large cage and great for 1-2 budgies (not more). The fact I love this cage is my birds only spend nighttime IN their cage with the door closed - but during the day they are out and about flying around. This cage provides the security of a perch for them to land on but also be by their food, water and a nice non-toxic place for their beaks to touch and their feathery butts to poop on.The tray slides out easy for cleaning ease. The sides wipe down and bottom easily can be snapped on and off for full cage cleaning.My birds will LOVE this new cage!

We moved our finch family from small white cage to larger black one we just received.They are loving the more room.They are mama, papa and baby, with more room maybe baby can are siblings!The only drawback I see for finches is the door very big opening, it is more suitable for bigger birds, so I am worried if I need to get in thru the door they can easily escape.

Nothing to attach the crappy plastic perches with, they are literally just hollow plastic tubes that you jam between the bars and hope stay put. The door latch completely falls off and door has to be held shut with a bungee cord I happened to have. Even the dowel to hold the play top open is just a plastic tube with no way to attach. There’s no way this would work. I’m literally using parts of other cages to hold this mess together. Two tiny food doors at the very bottom of the cage, no lids for the dishes so that, combined with the poor placement is just begging for food to get pooped in. Absolute trash cage for an obscene price.

The media could not be loaded. We purchased this as a travel cage for our conure that can fit in the back of my SUV. The size is just perfect, can get in the backseat without having to tip the cage. I would prefer that the seed catch tray that is wider around the bottom is removable, but not the end of the world that it is fixed with the entire plastic bottom piece.I have some concerns about the durability and safety of this cage. All have to do with the real possibility that this cage could fall apart or the bird could Houdini their way out fairly easily. If you have curious dogs/cats/ other pets, I would shop around for something sturdier1. The locking mechanism on the main door is really poor construction, especially if you have a bird that will fiddle with moving pieces, they can easily unlock this cage. Also, the cage door is so big that if it just came open at the top of the door, the metal can easily bend and allow space for the bird to push their way out. Our fix will be traveling with small carabiners to better secure the cage door on the top and bottom.2. The top section of the cage is held on with very small D-bends, smaller than I expect for the size of this cage. I put zip ties on all 4 sides to ensure it stays put.3. The top metal of the cage clips into the bottom plastic tray on only 4 of the 8 bottom latches. If you pick this cage up from the top handles, this could very easily break off. Again, I put zip ties to try to avoid this.
