Poquito Avian Hotel Review
Pros and cons:

Cons:
1) The quality of the rope perch is "crap". The cheap plastic end broke off as I barely twisted the end screw cap when I took it out of the box--so much for a perch! Fortunately I'm married to a carpenter who went to the hardware store and purchased two sizes of dowels, cut them down to cage size and drilled holes in the ends, and put in a threaded stud, a lock washer and nut and a fender washer to hook to the cage bars. Now my parrot not only has a one-inch perch between the food and water cups but another 1-1/4" perch running diagonally above the other perch for variety of standing. (Scratch up the dowels a little bit for better traction.)

2) Even if the perch that came with it were built to be secure, I would have wanted to purchase a more secure perch, if available.

3) The wire cup holders are also "crap" and keep coming out of the the little holes that hold them to the side of the cage. So when you take the cups in & out you have to hold on to the cup holder with the other hand so it won't dislodge from the side of the cage because it's frustrating to try to fit the wires of cup holders back into the slots.

Pros: The cage perfectly meets our need for our amazon parrot size-wise. We will be moving across the U.S. travelling for 5 days, staying at hotels (because no airline would allow me to carry my parrot on board, even though she's small enough to fit under the seat, and is every bit as well-behaved as a dog or cat! If you're going to stay in motels/hotels be sure to call in advance and ask about their pet policy.) Anyway, the cage is just the right size, you'll need to get your parrot accustomed to it slowly though and take it for short rides at a time in your car.


So the cage is great (if you happen to know a good carpenter).

Sturdy, Durable, Well Made, Roomy
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. They don't need to be taken all the way off to open the door. Very well constructed. I ordered off another site for about less than here, and I paid no shipping/handling. Very, very pleased especially after reading some of the negatives posted by other reviewers. My birds are going to be happy during the 1800 mile drive!

Perfect design - just too heavy
This carrier cage is perfect for our large parrot to travel in safety and comfort. The only drawback is the weight of the cage -- approximately 15 lbs -- makes it somewhat difficult to carry.

Very heavy steel cage
No way is this a travel cage. It is made out of heavy steel and incredibly heavy. (Also, it came with touch up paint which leaked all over the chrome hardware latches and was missing one of the springs for the latches.) This thing is useless for the purpose it claims. If you want a strong, heavy cage of this size, it is well designed with easy to fill dishes accessible from the outside. They need to change their description and advertising, and improve their quality control.

Great cage
I own this cage and use it while I am gone in my semi. It is the perfect size for this and my Jenday Conure loves it. As for the latches, its really no big beal. I have no problem with them. If you travel with you bird, this is a great cage.
