Flyline Parrot Escape Jumbo Corner Bird Cage Aviary (X-Large)

For the size and quality of the cage I think this is a wonderful choice, I’m very happy with it and with one person helping assembly is not too bad. I’d only drop it one star bc the pieces really should be labeled with stickers and have matching joints marked, it would make assembly very easy and go much faster. Since the instructions are vague, the main things to keep in mind when assembling: 1) you WILL need to lightly hit the alignment of joints into the proper angle. If you have a rubber mallet, use that or something like a dowel to not damage the metal. Personally, I do not consider this a manufacturing error, the margin for error is pretty small, and the material is flexible enough that it is very easy to lightly tap the interlocking joints to angle more outwards or inwards which allows them to slide together very easily and still fit snug. Personally I’d rather have the fit be tight and need me to widen the angle slightly than to have everything be loose, so I think this is fine. 2) Assembly instructions are vaaaague, this is the biggest flaw. Also they kind of have you assemble it in a weird order. There’s several pieces that matter whether they face in or out/what side they go on, which is not great when they aren’t labeled, bc you get halfway through and realize you have to flip something. Personally, I would not follow the directions and instead assemble the top half of the cage (not including the door/front panel), the bottom half of the cage (still not including the door) and then put those two together, then do the door/front panel last. It’s a lot easier that way, and you won’t get as turned around. While the instructions were vague, it also really wasn’t hard. Took me and my partner like an hour to do, and that’s with some mess ups. The screws were all good, the threading on the receiving holes was really good , and it comes with enough extras if you lose one you’ll be fine. If you’re putting it together following good assembly practices, loosely put the screws in, not in a line but at farthest points working in, then once everything’s in tighten them down, the alignment is really pretty great for the price. I only had one screw that was slightly off center which for a cage this big is a miracle. Overall I’m very satisfied and my bird loves it! Very spacious for an African red belly, it’s a decadent choice for a smaller/medium size parrot, but the bar spacing is still safe. All in all I’d give it 4.5/5

Like most people said, the instructions left a lot to be desired but with some patience it can be put together quite easily. I’ll admit I did get a lot of help from some of the other reviews (thank you) so if you are struggling look through them and you will figure it all out. I was able to put it together by myself in a few hours minus the seed skirt because that will take 2 people. You definitely want to put the bottom together first and then attach the top pieces instead of following the way the pictures suggest you assemble it. Make sure you have the door hinges on the right and check for screw placements on the top part of the cage with the cage top. Other than that I’d say the seed skirt was the most challenging thing. It arrived in 2 boxes with all parts and pieces. One of the caster legs were bent (it was easily bent back into place) and I couldn’t align one of the screw holes which didn’t effect the overall assembly. As for the cage it’s self, it’s wonderful! For the price it really can’t be beat. I did a lot of shopping around and this is a really good deal. Even though I looked at the dimensions the cage is much bigger than I had pictured as you can see from where I have it in the room. It will be moved to a different corner with a window shortly. For now I’m keeping it where the old cage was until I know my bird is completely happy with it. Speaking of Harley, my Amazon Grey, for the most part she adjusted to her new environment in a little more than a day which made me very happy. She loves the space she now has and seems to really like the top of the cage being flat without an added jungle gym. I made sure to put up more perches so she has many places to sit while getting used to the additional height. Overall I give it 5 stars ⭐️The cage is well worth the crappy installation instructions so it doesn’t seem fair to deduct for that. Harley and I are very happy with it!

Definitely need 2 people to build. Trays were damaged and bent, however we were able to fix enough to use them. Same with the seed guards. One of the legs was also bent, but my husband was able to straighten. There was a jagged area on one of the connecting posts that my husband had to shave off to get the piece to fit properly. He also had to drill out one of the holes because there was a piece of metal going across the hole. That all being said.....now that it's together it's a huge cage at a great price. I have a green cheeked conure and it's a mansion for him and I am overall happy with the purchase.
