Could I use this for a green cheek conure? It likes to chew and I want to be sure the wood and metal are safe, and that it couldnt chew its way out.

Nope! My birds like to chew on the house and gradually, they are making pieces disappear. They love the house but they are cockatiels and a parakeet. It is like a small tree and a bird that large will take bigger pieces off. The cage is great for birds but not if they can take pieces off.

My Africa Grey chews wood like crazy. He will pick at the inside plastic lining but it is tough. I suppose he might get through it if left in there for a whole day or more but so far it just has a rough spot. The plastic is very durable. So just for transporting and visiting it is great!

We got ours for a Senegal parrot and it works fine - should work well for a green cheek too.

I used it for my cats but I would think that rabbits could chew through it if there was something on the other side that they really wanted to eat. It is heavy plastic-type material. I would use metal wire instead like hardware cloth.

Yes I had a Nanday conure and I think your bird will be fine. I can also put my Cockatoo in there to when we get to our arrival I let him out to walk about.

Not really, as the look of it would not be so nice. It would work, but I would look to protect the wood some other way and find the reason that the birds are pecking at the wood. ie. insects, etc. would try to paint it or seal it first.

Yes! I bought this for my sun conure which is slightly larger than your green cheek. At my work we recommend this size cage for your bird.

My conure is a little bit bigger than a cockatiel, and he prefers the mini. He plays with and chews on the original one, but it's pretty big--he just loves the mini though. Goes through one about every month or so. The mini is about as big around as a quarter and the original is bigger around then a 50 cent piece. The original lasts a while, but he doesn't play with or chew on it as often. I got the Ole one too--but he hasn't even touched it. It's way too big. I think the mini would be the best for your cockatiel.

I have a Moluccan Cockatoo, on the petite side and the perch inside wasn't high enough that her tail keep getting squished against the back. This carrier is a nice idea if the perch were higher. Also keep in mind, for a Cockatoo... if they want out, they will chew their way out - so fabric and cardboard are no match for it. Ideal acrylic or metal would work better but those carriers are just too expensive. This carrier would be better suited for Parrots and Amazons, in my opinion, since they are smaller birds.

Hey no this was smaller than I expected even for my green cheek. Its so narrow his tail looks to big for it lol theres one for $49 on here thats similar but wider advertised as a cockatiel cage but even then if you want more than 2 perches and toys this is a terrible idea. He cant take the bowls out if he tried because theyre hooked in from the outside but he could pull them upwards from the inside which would put them at a slant & spill some of the contents. When he lets go theyd fall back in place. Hope this helps !

This is not wood but some kind of pressed together or preshaped new kind of material. Its my first interaction with it. Looks safe but for gerbils I think they would be able to bite their way through the material and escape. I used this for hedgehog's and they do not bite things the same way. I don't see this as a good purchase for your intended use unfortunately.

I have an eclectus parrot, which is much larger than your conure and he does fine. He travels outside with me everywhere in it. Not sure if you can get yours out when you reach your destination but for size, it would work well.

I consider it a waste of money. I have a green cheek conure. I have had it for over a month and she refuses to use it. I have tried using it on the inside and outside of cage. Ha! when I put it on the outside she got her head under the top and shoved it out on the floor.I had to clean seed up off the carpet. I put it back on the inside and she is sitting there right now fussing at me for food in her old feeder. I am ready to throw it out the door. Maybe I can figue a way to use it go a flower pot.Sorry I couldn't help.

I will send you dimentions, what kind of bird are you putting in the cage. I have a jenday conure and the cage is perfect for him. I would say it is fine for a quaker or cockiteil but I wouldn't recommend it for any bird larger than that, does this help you?

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 don't see why not. It is a lot bigger that it looks. I have a cockatiel and he has a ladder, two hanging toys, a Booda Comfy perch, and the two wooden perches that come with the cage. I love this cage. I didn't like the food and water feeders, so I took my ones from the previous cage and set them on the bottom of the cage, in front of the back clear plastic panel. No birdseed mess! Also extremely easy to clean!

Some of the other reviews say that it doesn't sick to wood very well. I can only assume that it wouldn't be the best option for you as your dog would prolly be able to pull it off. Consider apple bitters spray to discourage chewing. You should be able to find it at any pet store
