Review: Very sturdy cage - This is a very well constructed cage. Very easy to assemble (directions included) , requires no tools to assemble. Includes two stainless steel bowls (not flimsy) that attach to brackets on one side of the cage wall, a rope perch (easy on birdie feet), and a strong metal handle with a wooden perch on top. It is small and meant as a travel cage. We are using it as a sleeping cage only, since his big cage is in our family room where we watch TV in the evening. We put this cage in another room on the other side of the house to avoid the distraction of TV noise. The only somewhat negative thing is that the cage is a bit heavy (14 pounds), but that is really not an issue for us because it stays in one place and I am not carrying it around. If you plan to use it for traveling in your car, it has two strong attached brackets to secure it with a seat belt (another nice feature). Review: Great travel cage - Very happy with this purchase, it's a great travel cage. Definitely planning on getting another for our other bird Pros: - quick and easy to put together - very sturdy feeling - food and water bowls have little ledges above them to prevent them getting dislodged - great amount of space for a bird, it feels a bit excessive for our lovebirds but that's great - big door makes it very easy to get the bird in, if you're toweling them - seat belt strap is appreciated for security (it ended up kind of between seats in my car, so it wobbled a bit during driving) Minor cons: - packaging came in styrofoam that ended up leaving little bits across parts, I would have appreciated some other material for the bird's sake - from the vet side, they said the big door makes it harder for them to reach in and grab them without them flying out, but they still handled it great ## Features - DEPENDABLE & ROAD READY - Designed for easy travel, this rust-resistant carrier provides comfort and security indoors or outdoors and integrates with all vehicle seat belts for safe, secure transport - PORTABLE BIRD CAGE - Ideal for parakeets, cockatiels, conures, lovebirds, parrotlets, and other similarly sized companion birds, ideal for short-term vet clinic visits or emergency travel - SMART FEATURES - Comes with lock-in cups for easy food and water placement, plus a bendable rope perch. Also features a rooftop perch, carrying handle, and seat belt brackets for safer travel - MAXIMUM SECURITY & COMFORT - 1/2 inch metal wire spacing; includes a wooden perch playtop and solid cup door guard prevents spills while driving.

I'd been using a modified budgie cage in the horse trailer with a dedicated place for it, but when Kiwi chewed his way through his travel carrier that we use for being in the car and going to appointments, I needed to find something better. I was halfway looking for something that would serve a dual purpose as both a travel carrier and a travel cage, and happened to stumble across this here on Amazon. I looked at so many different options for carriers and cages that I was waffling a lot - until I found this. It arrived very quickly. It was packaged nicely and all of the components were included (YAY!). I was able to assemble it completely by myself in about 15 minutes (which includes the amount of time I spent reviewing the instructions). I was skeptical at first because the panels kind of slide in place, which didn't seem very reliable to me, but once the top went on and the screws were tightened - well, this thing is a beast. Yes, it's heavy. That means transporting between the vehicle and the place the cage will be housed while we travel can be a bit challenging, not because of difficulty, but because of weight and size. However, this thing is so substantial that it totally negates that (incredibly minor) inconvenience. I found some cage liner papers that fit perfectly in the bottom tray here on Amazon, so that helped to make clean up super easy. Additionally, I also purchased a mesh seed guard that fits around the cage perfectly, and I highly recommend the addition of this when using this as both a travel carrier and a travel cage. My bird is on the smaller side, but if he's hanging on the side of the cage and decides to relieve himself, there's all kinds of potential for poop and food to make their way outside of the confines of the cage. The seed guard I found pretty much covers the entirely of the cage walls, so it was a perfect fit (NOTE TO THE MANUFACTURER: You might want to find a source for those and include them with these cages as I firmly believe it's necessary and worthwhile to have this accessory). I did find that the swing tab that's supposed to help keep the bottom cage grate and the tray in place works 1,000 times better if you slightly pull out the swing tab so that both are locked in place, otherwise, it's too easy for the cage grate to move around. That's the only improvement that I'd suggest to the manufacturer as far as the build and design of the cage is concerned; you really don't want either to come out easily when you're moving and transporting the cage and your bird. As far as my parrot is concerned, he absolutely LOVES this cage, and was far more active and engaged in it. Senegals love to hang upside down from the top of their cages and swing like bats (Kiwi does this and yells, "WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!" as he's doing it), and the way this cage is constructed, he was able to swing like a bat (ha ha ha) to his heart's content. It's large enough that I was able to put an actual swing in the cage, and found a fun, destructible bird activity wall to hang on the back wall and provide enrichment activity. There is also room for a few other small toys and perches. It's roomier than it appears just based on measurements, but once you have it in front of you and assembled, it was the perfect size for my parrot. This may be too small for larger birds to use as an actual travel cage, but it definitely has room enough to be used as a travel carrier for large bird. The access door takes up one end of the cage and is quite large ; the safety latch is strong and too complicated for most birds to open (plus, it'd be very difficult to fully access it from inside the cage). The food and water bowl access doors are nice, I love the way they're designed as they prevent overly exuberant birds from being able to nip at human hands while changing food and water. One of the latches on one of my doors sticks oddly, but if I push the latch from the opposite end, it opens right up. This isn't enough of an issue to return the item (at all), and I'm happy to live with it as-is. Overall, it serves two purposes for us and is a heavy duty travel carrier and travel cage. My bird had a blast in it, and all of the necessary access points were well thought out and executed. The seat belt frames for securing it are nice and secure (I wasn't able to use them as intended due to the way we all travel), but I was able to secure the cage in an alternate manner. This was a fantastic purchase for the price, and I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for a travel carrier, a travel cage - or both! ## Frequently Bought Together - Prevue Pet Products Travel Carrier for Birds, Black 18.8"L x 14.9"W x 18.0"H - Prevue Hendryx Pet Products Universal Bird Cage Cover, Medium, Black - Swing Hanging Standing Chewing Toy Hammock Climbing Ladder, Cage Colorful Toys Suitable for Budgerigar, Parakeet, Conure, Cockatiel, Mynah, Love Birds, Finches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/46921961-playtop-travel-carrier-outdoor-travel-bird-cage-for-small-parrots](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/46921961-playtop-travel-carrier-outdoor-travel-bird-cage-for-small-parrots) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
