Moving from CA to the MS Gulf Coast in 2 months. Long haul with 4 lovebirds. Ordered one of these in each color. Exactly what I needed: sturdy, roomy, portable, and fit in the back of my Jeep Wrangler 4 door. Cages took 15mins each to put together. Food/water dishes are very secure. The handle perch is nice although I won't need it. The rope perch that was included is just fine. I plan on putting a couple familiar items in with my little pretties. Other than being a little heavy (which only makes sense) I can find no drawbacks. They suit my purposes, I know my birds will be safe in them during the long trip, and the cages are pretty. Also handy as I am moving to hurricane country and can use them in case of an evac. No damage, no spilled paint, all parts were there and in perfect condition. Well packaged. Some say they needed zip ties to latch, but I honestly can't see it myself. No bird is going to undo the ball latches. Great buy! [...] cheapest price around! Love them!
