Does the metal grill at the bottom of the cage slide out for easy cleaning? Or is it attached to the rest of the cage?

The metal grill is removable, and super easy to clean. I am so glad i went with this cage!

It slides out - also the plastic tray at the bottom slides out for cleaning - very good cage - have my cockatiel for last 1 year and very happy

Well, I'm not sure. Actually I didn't keep this cage (although it was VERY nice) becuase it didn't have a slide-out tray for cleaning.......

Top is not removable and is a main component of how the cage goes together. Would not suggest removing it on a regular basis. Cage has two small access doors and two openings for food/water bowls

I figured out I could slide the plastic tray where the metal tray sits. It is a tight squeeze, but it will slide in the metal grate area. I figured this out by accident and thus keeps my birds secure when I clean the metal grate. Took a year to realize this, and after several canaries squeezed thru while I was cleaning metal grate tray.

Yes it does and under it a nice slide out section. I find this cage easy to clean, easy food and water access also. I am quite pleased with it. It is a sweet home for my little Zebra finch.

Handles fine. The underside of the grill is on a slight slope so it works it's way slowly to the chute. I haven't had any issues with excessive grease. Some drips into the chute and burns off, the rest I just cleaned up. The grill comes apart pretty easy for cleaning.

Yes, it is quite easy to clean. There really isn't much to the cage so it's easy to take apart.

Very easy, you can actually unscrewed cage slip off each parts and clean each parts. That was a pleasant surprise to me.

It is not attached at all. It is a plastic tray that you slide under the edge of the grill.

yes, both top and bottom plates are removable for easy cleaning. i love this and use it much more than my grill now

yes, it is very easy to remove. I take mine into the kitchen sink and clean it. It is Teflon coated, so it cleans like a breeze. You can also remove the grill and use it indoors. I roasted a whole chicken indoors one day when it was raining.

It has a downward opening door above each food bowl pair and double doors halfway up on one side of the cage. The doors are conveniently placed so it is easy to change food bowls and access inside. There is no slide tray, the bottom snaps onto the cage. Its easy enough to clean. I lay out newspaper and put cage on it (unsnapped bottom). I don't need to displace my birds to clean. I think it is smartly designed but it could be sturdier. The plastic perches shake with the weight of one cockatiel so i switched them with wood perches. And its a little awkward to move from room to room. I do like the cage though.

The grill on the bottom actually keeps the bird out of the mess on the bottom. It pulls out easily. I clean mine by taking it outside and hosing it off and it cleans beautifully. I don't think it would hurt their feet. I don't think a green cheek could escape if you take it out, it just slides into a narrow opening.

It does slide out. It wouldn't be much of a crumb tray if it wasn't removable :-)

The cage can be removed from the base. The cage is a bit heavy so not as easy as I would like. I wipe the cage down completely daily and only break it down on a monthly basis to give it a thorough cleaning.

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.

Yes the charcoal tray slides out. Unit is solid. The only thing I didn't realize when I bought it was that the charcoal side is not lit by the gas tank so it isn't a true hybrid like a Weber Performer, where coals are out by gas. You have to get a chimney with newspaper (or use lighter fluid, which I refuse to do) to light the coals. If the gas lit the coals I would use it way more than I have. For that I continue to use my old weber mostly
