If you're looking for a heater, I can highly recommend the Avitech infrared heat panel that goes outside the cage. Good, steady, low level warmth, and no chance of burning their feet as with a heated perch. You can put a cover over the cage and the heater, and it will barely warm up the cover (so no chance of fire); however, it will be nice and toasty inside the cage, and the birds can move in and away from the heat as needed. They're a bit pricey, but you'll save that on your heating bills because you won't have to keep the entire room overheated to keep the birds at a good temp.

Hello we don't see pigeons around here . We do have morning doves and they never attempted to get on it. They stayed on the ground. I don't think you will have an issue; that base is too small for doves or pigeons.

HAS NOT FALLEN OR BROKEN YET!! i Have 2 parakeets as well that live comfortably in this cage. It isnt flimsy although The top side pannel comes off too easily for cleaning ect the pannel itself is flimsy. it dosnt spring lock in which i think would've made this cage great.

Hello, I bought this cage for my pair of love birds and we love it. Not only do my birds have enough space to spread their wings, they also have enough space to play. I looked for big cages at a decent price and was blessed to find this one at a great price! To answer your question, I believe this would be a great cage for your bird, if you have two birds it would depend on their size. All the other cages this size were over $500 so I think this would work for you. Hope this helped. :)

Hi, this is a really nice cage for up to two medium sized birds, but too small for four. We brought a green cheeked conure,(same size as a cockatiel) successfully, from Colorado to Idaho and thought it was adequate. But I think the same company makes one a little bigger. Good Luck! C.Aguirre

I don't live in a snowy climate, but having lived in one I imagine it would get caked in snow making it unusable during and after a winter storm unless you brushed it off. The seed getting wet doesn't seem to be a problem as the design allows it to ventilate and dry out easily. So far we haven't had a problem with birds larger than cardinals taking over the feeder. They stare at it, but I think the perch is too small for them to try it.

We have had ours up since April and have had some activity, but not inside the box where it should be. I bird built a nest on the top of the box, kind of funny. He was a larger bird so I am sure they could not get inside the house. Other then that nothing inside, hoping for some activity next spring.

Hi Catherine. I am very sorry but we will be of no help - I had two guys come in that do construction and they figured it out. Good luck, it is a beautiful cage when together and my birdies love it.

I have two cockatiels and a parakeet that reside in the cage. It works perfectly. I have added limbs from PetSmart and the birds love it. It is like a little tree for them with extra perches. The grating does not cause any harm to small birds.

I purchased this wonderful large cage for my spoiled cockatiel. I thought it was very easy to put together. My 10 year old daughter had to help me put it up on the stand, though because it's large and bulky. The only issue I had was something very minor with assembling the stand. If you get the cage, when putting the stand together, make sure you put the notches from the upper part of the stand on the inside. It should be a natural fit. I had put it backwards, with notches outside and that is wrong. It's an easy fix, however, if you goof. As far as a seed skirt, I don't have one, and some seed does end up on the floor from my bird who likes to fling it around. It doesn't bother me as I just vacuum it up every few days. The cage is extremely easy to clean too! I hope this helps.

This particular birdhouse is def built more for indoor decor and not function in my opinion. It would deteriorate quickly in bad weather. If you choose to use it outside it looks like it'd be appropriate for small birds, like a finch

I have two of these cages. One houses 4 Quakers and the other is home to two Green Cheek Conures. All are VERY happy with this cage. The cage is MUCH bigger than it looks in the picture and even knowing the dimensions i was surprised by the size when I put the first cage together!! The side doors are on a spring hinge and don't latch...both the Quakers and Conures figured that out real quick! I small key ring on each door solved that problem. I've also heard of people using twist ties onthe side doors. the birds have LOTS of room to spread their wings and play with toys. So my answer is yes, this cage is fine for Conures :-) I have two of these cages. One houses 4 Quakers and the other is home to two Green Cheek Conures. All are VERY happy with this cage.

We use it as a rabbit house for two small rabbits, and it works very well. It's strong and secure, and the roof really protects them from the rain. We live in Oregon, so the rain is a huge concern for us.

We had to look at the cage online believe it or not, it was a mess but well worth it, I love the cage and so do my two white Doves. Start at the bottom and work your way up, it comes together for you better and you can see how the cage fits in. Good luck, if I can help feel free to ask. Marie
