is this a good cage for an african grey? I know its for multiple smaller birds but would it be comfortable for a grey?

We used it for canaries and parakeets. I'm guessing it's not appropriate for stronger birds like your grey.

No, a grey can easily snap the welds on a cage like this. You need to get one that specifically states is is designed for Greys, amazons and smaller cockatoos.

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....

I it needs to be deeper for a grey. It's tall and wide enough but not deep enough. Id be iffy for a grey

I agree with oter responses.for large birds you need a cage that has thicker bars that do not bend when you push on one with your finger, and spacing of bars should be wider.I do not have a large bird however.

I would not recommend this cage for a grey, the cage just is too lightweight for a bird that size. I would be concerned of toes or other body parts getting stuck in the bar spacing. Also a bird of that size would expect to be able to separate the vertical bars from the horizontal bars. I would look for something 36" wide 24" deep with 5/8-3/4" bar spacing.

I don't believe so, no. The bars would be easily bent by the power of a grey's beak. Size wise, it's huge, but I think the bars are also too close together for them to easily climb about in it.

I have a blue crowned conure in it which is smaller than a umbrella cockatoo. I am thinking the umbrella's are bigger than the Goffin Cockatoo's right? If so I would probably go with a bigger cage than this one for him. This cage is more for the size of African Grey's or Conure's now the smaller of the cockatoo's that are like the size of the African Grey's would do well in this size cage. Good luck and wish you all the best with your new cockatoo. That is great that you are adopting :-) .

It is perfect for my blue fronted Amazon parrot. He is similar to an African grey. The floor and top are 22"X24", and the bird is less than 12" in length. The cage is tall, and he spends a lot of time on the play top.

Hello, yes this cage sits on the stand and is very easy to keep clean. My African Grey Love it. It is also fairly light. I hope this helps..

The bar spacing on the F050 is only a 1/2 inch apart which would probably be uncomfortable for a parrot the size of an African Grey to hold on to or climb. The wire thickness is also quite thin so I wouldn't be surprised if it bent from the weight of the bird climbing or beak pressure. Although this cage is quite spacious inside, you're right in thinking that it might not be sturdy enough for a Grey. We have a double yellow headed amazon in our family and this cage probably wouldn't last a day with her!

Yes! I bought it for my african grey and it's huge! Way bigger then I thought it would be, takes up a lot of space. I'd def say this would be extremely big for a cockatiel.

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. :)

I use this cage for finches and canaries. I know a grey is much bigger I don't think it's going to be heavy enough for a grey

This cage is not suitable for any bird. It's a dangerous cage. Please see the photos posted with my review. Please also see the reviews posted of the birds that have died in this cage. Aside from that, it's certainly not big enough for a Green Wing.

Yes! I bought this for my African Grey last year and she seems to really enjoy it. When she's out she likes to go and play on the top of the cage. The bowls that came with it were a bit small so I did order larger bowls and i use the bowls that came with it for her fruits, etc.

I know this is long after but this cage is absolutely too small for an African grey! A grey needs minimum dimensions of 32"w x 23" dx36" h without a stand! With a stand 55" to 68" depending on style! This cage is suitable for parrotlets, lovebirds, cockatiels, budgies, bourkes, Linnie's, a couple of finches or canaries. A Meyers,Senegal, Rainbow lory, Caique or Ringneck or any bird this size and larger needs a much larger cage. Please research a species thoroughly then get the largest cage you can. They need room to move and flap about with perches and toys in the cage. I know this is long after but this cage is absolutely too small for an African grey!

I bought it for my quaker. I know it would fit an African grey comfortably, not so sure it would be enough space for 2 large birds - especially if they don't get along.

I was very concerned my African Grey would eat right through the bars. He fiddles, but never really does any damage. I am really surprised. Felt I was taking a chance buying this cage because it is so inexpensive, but it truly is great and well worth the money. It is pretty big actually. We have more perches in there then we ever did before. It is deep.

I love this cage for my tiny budgie. However I feel it would be small for a larger bird especially when they get flapping their wings. I own two cages by this manufacturer, this one and a smaller one I use when traveling. I would recommend the manufacturer but opt for a larger cage for a larger bird.

Yes, this would be a good cage for an electus, I have two african greys and they each have a cage. I wouldn't put anything smaller than an Electus as they maybe able to put their head between the bars. Hope this helps you decide, we are very happy with the cages. Regards,Heather Nichol

I purchased two of these cages and have congo African greys in both. The only problem with this cage is that it won't fit through the doorway. I am otherwise very happy with this cage.

I wouldn't advise it. I transported two African Grey's in two separate cages cross country for 6 consecutive 8-10 hour drives. Of course they stayed in the cages 24/7 for those 6 days. It's pretty tight quarters for any length of time unless your grey and amazon are always paired in the same cage and used to it.
