I have a double yellow headed amazon and I am worried if the bars will be sturdy enough. Are the spacing bars strong enough where he can't bend them?

The bars of the actual cage is strong enough, but the little ladder on top for the "play" area may not be. I have a Cockatoo and I just removed the little ladder. All in all its a good decent cage for larger birds.

My blue gold macaw loves her cage. So do I. IThis is my second cage I have a huge steel one out on patio for her and this one I bought for inside. I was very happy with quality of cage. It was easy to setup and my bird climbs in and out of this cage now she wants to be in it all the time. You will not regret this purchase. BTW she uses her been to climb from the floor to the top and I don't ever feel like she will bend the cage. Good luck.

Agreed, mine has never toppled, and that's with two big 95 lb. dogs eating out of it at the same time. The legs lock into place very securely and the whole thing is pretty robust, it's not some flimsy, cheaply made stand. It's really great for traveling too.

I think it would be too big. You can damage their feet by giving them too big of bars all the time. So I guess it would depend how often he is oN it. If it's his daily out of cage stand I think it's too big

I have had no problem with the 2 I have. One of my cats is 30 pounds, & because of his size, I have put a round cushion in the top rest so he doesn't hang over the hard edges of the circle. I am very happy with these units & I can't imagine having anything more sturdy.

The spacing is just narrower than the diameter of a US Quarter coin. If you try you can push the quarter through as the bars will flex a bit. We have a hedgehog in this cage and he is safe and cannot squeeze through the openings.

They seem really sturdy to me. I bought this kind because I heard horror stories about people and animals getting pinched in the springs or springs breaking and flying into someone's face. This seemed to have better reviews.

Let me give you a few specs and see if it answers your question. The bottom bars are 6 3/4 inches long from center post to end. There is a 3/4 inch butterfly keeper for each bar, so that leaves 6 inches of space for weights (both sides the same). I have three weights on each side (6 inches) totaling 28.5 lbs each side. The bars are not solid, but are very sturdy steel. I would hazard a guess that you could put two 35lb plates on each side and not buckle the bars. But don't quote me to your lawyer on that! <grin>

Yes, they are very sturdy. I'm quite pleased with this purchase. The only problem is that the bars/slats are so close together, you would have a difficult time pulling the leaves and stems of a large plant through. I put asparagus ferns in both my cages, in clear plastic liners (I bought at Walmart in the garden dept) and they're doing very well and look great.

The spacing between the bars is very small, we have a small Silky, and he could never get out of this by going between the bars or the sections where it is held together. The Pawhut is in our Motorhome out of state right now, so I can't measure the spacing, but it has not been a problem with a small dog.

Yes, the bars are spaced very close together. I do not think a hamster would be able to squeeze through.

That is why I purchased it, have a 4lb yorkie and he can't get through it. The bars are 2" apart.

I have those and they look ok strong. But I did not put close to 300 lbs on it...maybe 100-150 max so far, and it handled ok.So, good luck.

The bars may be too long for something like that. It would be pretty sweet for sure though. You'd probably want to measure and plan out carefully before buying them.

My dog is about 37 pounds and because the two back wheels are placed wider than the frame of the cabin, it doesn't tip over if he moves around. But he is larger and can't put all his weight on one front corner. If you have three toys dogs and they all stood together on one side of the front, tipping *might* be an issue. The cabin is slanted to discourage dogs from standing in the front corners, but again, it seems physically possible. Maybe go with a 4 wheel model to be safe.

Hi so we bought this for our amazon and I'm pretty happy. It's not as nice as the big cage we got for our gray but it was about half the price. Our amazon has not been able to open the locks on the food bowl but when he's lose and on the outside he has practiced so who knows. The bars are a little on the smaller gauge, if your guy is really rough on his cages he might be able to bend them, but the cage is so large our guy is pretty happy and doesn't mess with the bars. Hope this helps a little bit :)

I have a sportsman 570 and it is 700lbs dry so with fluids and me on it i am pushing over 900lbs and i have had no issues but like you I can see and feel them Flex. I wouldn't be concerned considering they are made of aluminum and by its nature has a lot of give and go compared to steel.

I wouldn't worry about these big foot brackets. More of a question where your cross bars could handle the weight. There are little foam pads the might need replacing over the years, but I expect these to last quite a while.
