Is this safe to use while bird is IN CAGE or only if he is out?

Our bird flies around--so never have that issue. He is out of the cage when we use it.It's really good though, and I'm sensitive to smells. It is innocuous.

I have many times over the last two years. The manufactor says "no-solvents, no orange oil ,non-toxic and biodegradable

While it's not toxic to the bird, I cleaned the cage with this product while the bird was out of the cage, then wiped it down real good with a clean damp cloth to get any residual mess from the cage.

I use what's called a crock on the bottom of the cage, for my Eclectus. Works fine.

I have always found that Prevue cages are tough. My birds are hard on cages, prevue is my choice.

it's a nice cage but any pressure on the bars may cause them to come loose. my little dog just rested his paws on the bars by the door and they came loose. very poor welds. may come loose if you pull on them. i wouldn't leave an animal in if for long periods of time and would not be comfortable if they were anywhere that they could be harmed if they got out. if your rabbit tried to get his head out and the bar came loose he could either get out or get caught in the bars.

Only if you have the panel in to close it, then your pet can't in or out either. I have heard on a rare occasion of other animals i.e. a raccoon using it.

What types of birds do you have? I use this playstand mostly with my conure, who was scared to come out of her cage after a move to a new house. I rolled this stand up to her cage and left the door open. I lured her onto it with food so she could freely walk out onto it when she was ready. She felt more confident knowing she could go back to her cage when she wanted.By the way, my birds never used the "downstairs" part of the stand, unfortunately. They just poop on it!

I love the cage for the parakeets -- they're much smaller than an Africa Grey. I would think if your parrot can be allowed out of the cage, perhaps an actual parrot cage would be better. There are 2 main doors on the Prevue but it would take some good direction for the bird to get in and out. The cage is a great size - but again, my birds are much smaller....

Yes, but you must keep the bulb OUTSIDE of the cage (Far enough so the birds can't contact it.) The bulb itself gets hot enough to cause burns if direct contact is made. Also, you must have an area inside the cage where the lights 'Hot Spot' Doesn't shine, to allow the birds to migrate to a cooler area to avoid overheating. 12 to 18 inches away from area to be heated is sufficient.

I would NOT recommend that because it's full spectrum. And it would be like having an artificial sun in your home. Plus I doubt that it being so far from the bird would be very effective. I'd say any less than a couple of feet away from the cage would be a waste. I just bought an ikea floor lamp:) Hope this helps.

I have used this for my bird when she has been sick, I put a under a blanket then set her cage on it and cover her cage with blankets to keep the heat in. I think it should work fine!

Would say make sure the bird is getting some of but is not getting extremely hot.

Denise, my understanding on how this one works is that it is somewhat pressure sensitive, so not sure heat will be felt if a pet is not sitting on it. When I worked in bird rescue and we would use regular heating pads (on low) under the cage, but those were cages that sat on a table. You use a towel as cushion. The K&H; one that I have, also goes to a temp that is for felines and dog body temp. I have a cockatiel, and years ago, I bought one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Vktech-Snuggle-Hammock-Hanging-Hideaway/dp/B00C8O6690/ref=sr_1_4?s=pet-supplies&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1385576083&sr;=1-4&keywords;=bird+cozy in a local pet store. He ignored it for many years, and now all of a sudden he loves it. Totally naps in it. He is 12 years old.

I have two of these cages and they work well. Under the highest visible item in the photo there is a cage top. In other words the play top can come on and off. I have a very active green conure and it works well for him because we change toys frequently to maintain his interest level. Hope this is a help.

I moved a cocktail in the cage. It was great the bars are not to far apart the bird would be injured or try to escape. For me it was a really great product and if you are moving them to a larger cage, this cage really folds to be smaller for easy storage. Good luck with your love birds :)

Prevue usually has a suggested cover along with the cages they sell online. You would need to remove this cover during the day so your bird could access the playtop, and the edges of the front would probably flare open, leaving your bird(s) vulnerable to drafts during the night. I would agree with Sunny about contacting Prevue to see what their recommendation is.

If he's not a large parrot and boat worried about moving around too much. This is a sturdy cage that is meant for travel but not long term confinement. I'd look at the dimensions to be sure. I got it for a cinnamon conure who's quite the petite lady and it worked great

This cage is pretty sturdy. I think it would be strong enough unless your bird is an escape artist. If it is its possible you may have to do something to keep if from opening the doors. I am very happy with this cage.
