Does it hold together well or will I need tie clips? And do the perches slide or do they latch on to the side of the cage?

The cage has been very sturdy. The perches latch on and can easily be dislodged by the cats. All in all,I'm quite happy with it.

The cage holds together well and the perches just hook over the wire of the cage and they can be moved around. My cat is pretty big and he makes the perches sag a little but he has used it a lot and they have not broken.

It holds together very well on its own. It has about four "pressure clips" on each side, the kind where you push the metal through and then they stay in place because the gap is too small for the bars to pass through without outside force. The perches slide on and have a little lip that goes over the horizontal bars to hold it in place.I hope this helps.

Crate has held up extremely well. We have raised two litters and now use it to crate two fairly large house cats when we need to confine them for a few hours each day. I just used the clips that came with the crate. The shelves clip into place and work well.

I have. 2 five pound kittens that love this. I did not need any additional clips to hold it together but I did nt use the wheels. The shelves clip on to the sides of the cage with two clips on each side, they are plastic same as shelf so some caution placing is recommended. They don't clip onto the center bar since it has two wires together but there are lots of combinations. I made fleece pads for mine and my kittens have even gone in to rest during the day when not caged in.

The sides snap together, you will not need tie clips. The perches have tabs that lock onto the side bars, So far, they seem to hold well.

Assembled, tie clips are not needed. We have moved the cage from the front porch to the grass on several occasions using a combination of wheels and carrying without issue. The perches latch on the side of the cage; one negative is that to close the door securely will need to slightly lift up the perch and then put it back in place. However, very stable, even with my 15 lb cat.

My cage has held up VERY well with 2 rowdy male kittens (7Lbs.+ each), so you shouldn't need anything other than the included hardware. The perches hang on the sides of the cage and don't slide much. I also bought the ramps for when they were smaller.

The cage holds together well. The perches just hook over the metal bars on the cage and occainsionally one corner will slip off, but the rest hold it on so the shelf doesn't fall. I have six very active 5 month old kittens in this cage.

There are two wooden perches that fit just fine, I did add a variety of different perches for my gray as the cage is so large that I needed a variety of heights

It's ok for temporary housing, I kept my 2 Eclectus in ours for a week while on vacation. They were not too happy about it because the finish is very slippery and makes it harder for them to climb. Also the cage itself is somewhat flimsy, the upper and lower sections comes a part way too easy.....hope this helps

I have 3 parakeets in it and I have 2 cats n never had any trouble. My cats are very mischievous to lol. It's very sturdy once together. And the best part is it not an eye sore like the big black cages lol

Hi Bernadette,It has already been answered,and I agree, the cages are not built to be hung,it would be unsafe and unstable.Otherwise may I say I have 5 of the cages and they are excellent,once you and birds get used to the layout.Regards,Doran L

Yep! It just has hooks that you can attach to the cage. It comes unattached for packaging purposes, so if you don't want to put it in you can just leave it out. Just know that if you do put it in, you have to place it in the bottom of the cage before putting the top part on, as it can not fit through the doors.

Yes, the perch will hold your cat just fine...my cat is 13 pounds and he jumps on it all the time....I couldn't be happier with it . And my cat loves using it.

I have this one and another large cage. I have a pair of tiles in it. They like all the room but have a hard time climbing. I don't like the seed guard, it doesn't work very well. I highly recommend the Prevue flight cage. It's just a little bigger and much better but it doesn't have the play gym on top

The shelves are my one complaint about this cage so if you find others that fit please let me know. Sorry this isn't really an answer. Their plastic is super rinky and I really worry about my 13lb cat getting his toes caught between the plastic shelf and the metal shelf-attacher since the plastic bows under his weight. I ended up putting the tray on the shelves and he just uses the top half now.

Yes, the legs are very sturdy and stable. The legs can be locked in the down position by rotating a metal tab on one of the legs, which attaches the legs to each other. When latched together, the legs do not move at all. Also, the legs click into the up position, so they don't rattle in either the up or down position - and the other moving parts (upper and lower adjustable vent openings) have a snug friction fit, so nothing rattles. You will like it!

2 wooden perches. Depending on how you place them in the cage they fit just fine. My Amazon doesn't use them-too thin for his feet.

There are hooks on the ends of each shelf as well as a stabilizer hook on one side of each. They hold very well and are a bit tough to get in, but once they are in they will stay put. I am very impressed with the cage and the shelves and my two cats pretty much refuse to come out of it, so I guess that means they like it too.

There are two wooden dowel perches that fit fine. I added a spiral rope, a long stiff rope perch, and a sandpaper perch for my grey. He only uses the wooden perches to get to where he is going and much prefers the rope ones.

It is for mine. He has never flown as his wings are underdeveloped so it's fine for him ass he climbs around. I have hatiral wood as perches so he has plenty to grab on to and he climbs on the sides as well we love this cage. Am in condo and with seed catcher it's perfect

Depends on how aggressive. It's pretty strong, and you can tighten up the areas where the panels fit together by bending the clips tighter with a pair of pliers. I use a keychain clip to secure the bottom latch on the cage door since mine figured out how to work his open with his tongue. It puts together easily, but IS noisy with the metal pan.

There are two pegs on the perch, and two holes under Polly's "feet". Just line them up, press in place, and Polly should stay in place. I haven't had any trouble with her staying on her perch.

I have double stacks....4 cages total with huge nest boxes on each and dividers in place. I have two pair of gccs in each side...total of 8 birds. Mine are out frequently so they mostly just sleep in these unless they are nesring....but they seem fine with that. Toys...perches and lots of outside cage time and they're ok. You don't have to put the dividers in either if you don't want to and it would be one large cage.
