I have 2 hahns macaws that don't like each other so I needed 2 large play cages. I found a $500 Avian Adventures cage on [...] in perfect condition for only $125..... no such luck a second time. But this cage is very similar and I had a 20% off first time customer coupon so I paid just under $120. It is sturdy. The only thing I wish is that it had the outer doors and steel cups like my other cage. With this one you have to reach in and get the plastic feeding troughs. You have to assemble it, and at first it looks like a major task, but it's really not. It's very quick and easy to put together. I also like that the sliding tray is plastic- making it quiet to pull out and light weight. You could keep just about any size bird in it except the big macaws with the long tails, or many smaller birds. I would definitely recommend it.
