Can the bottom grate be removed so my birds can walk on the bottom plastic pan? If yes, does it leave space to outside? I do not like wire grates.

It would be hard to put together without the bottom wire, but I guess if you tried you could do it. It would leave a pretty big gap that small birds could easily get out of.

Yes the whole bottom slides out. the grate and pan are separate. there is about an inch gap when grate is out. a small bird could probably squeeze out. I have canaries and wont leave the grate out. Hope this helps..

The tray is plastic and is not as strong as a metal tray would be. I wouldn't trust taking the grate out and allowing birds to walk on the tray because I would be scared that the tray would fall off the track and the birds would be free. bfry

yes it can be removed but it you have smaller birds they can go right out the bottom there is a few inch gap

Yes, it can be removed, however, I wouldn't recommend it because it leaves a gap that could lead to an injured bird. I do not like my birds to walk on grates either so I put a layer of newspaper on top of the grate. The birds have a flat surface to forage on and it makes cleaning the bottom of the cage very easy--just change the newspaper, wrapping up whatever messes the birds have made in it. I have four budgerigars and it takes me about 5 minutes to wipe down their perches and change the newspaper every day.

No you cannot remove the stovetop, but you can take off the top grate for cleaning. I did not find that the outside got overly hot, I was camping in cooler weather. Certainly not a burn danger.

The solid plastic tray is, not the wire part. The sides collapse down to the bottom for storage. (The perch and dishes need to be removed, of course.) There is a clip at the bottom to hold it together.

In order to remove the bottom grate and change the paper, you must remove the top section. Both of the doors, top and bottom set, open and give lots of room to reach in but you can't clean the bottom that way. I can remove the bottom by myself by lifting one side and propping it on a block of wood that I use for that purpose, then lifting the other side and putting the wood block under. It's not heavy, but is easier if you have a second person. We love this cage. It keeps most of the food and mess contained.

If your talking about the outside. It's always covered when not in use. The grates are no problem either. I always let it burn on high after each use & use a steel brush to clean them off. Best grille I've ever owned. Definitely worth the money !

There is a solid top that slides on and a grate with bars above that. You could leave the solid plate out. I'm going to try that out myself.

No, it isn't - I paper the wire grate and the plastic tray - I change the grate paper when needed - The tray collects shells and seed - Finches are messy, and this has worked well for me -

The grate comes off. It actually has holes on the side where you insert the legs. And its by far. Yhe best camping grill ive ever used.

The screen doesn't come out. But it doesn't need to. I just flip it over and tap on the bottom to dump the leftover seed out. The birds pick through it on the ground. Most of what I find leftover is seed casings. If I had to clean it, I would just run the hose over it. I haven't found anything in the tray that is nasty; no poop. Its hung from the bottom of the deck above my patio. The squirrels can't get to it and the birds like it. I love this feeder. Its made of plastic so it won't rot like wood.

I suggest putting the tray on top, but it can fit either way. I put the grate underneath the tray because my grey likes to hang upside down from the top of the cage. You also can't hang toys if you have the grate above the tray.

My grates also move when I clean them. Any BBQ grill usually has a small space for movement, otherwise you wouldn't be able to take them out to clean, etc because they would be too snug.

No grate for the bottom. There's a grill rack that goes above. I don't expect to get more than a few years out of this but it is light weight and easy to move around.

Yes. I did it after my parakeets couldn't find the food and water all the way at the bottom, so I reduced the size down to a single story for about two weeks while they got used to going down to the bottom to feed, then built it back up. Birds adapted easily. I love this cage--so easy to keep clean!

Simply remove the top grate & place the bird in/on a drip pan with the coals around it (opposed to under)

I think you will be more restricted by the clearance between your product and the grill surface. A whole chicken, trussed and centered properly, clears the grates fine. You're not going to be able to rotisserie a large Baron of Beef though.

It may be a little bottom heavy for hanging. And it's a bugger to clean. You have to relocate your bird and take the bottom off to clean it. I bought 3, used one and I don't like it. I did at first.....until it got dirty.

Yes - there is a grate as the cage bottom then the drip pan - put a perch in this thing and you should be in business - I'd suggest using a long shank padlock for the door - the bird is likely to figure out the latch mechanism far too easy
