Vision II Model M02 Bird Cage, Medium

I originally considered this cage before I got birds (2 budgies) but I was swayed by the research that birds prefer horizontal space. I ended up with a wide flight cage that was not very tall. During the summer we would move the cage to the screened in porch and there was always a mess that would fall out of the bottom (despite a cage skirt). The birds always hung out in one corner and the cage had a grate on the bottom that was so hard to clean. I finally upgraded to the tall vision cage and I love it! At first the birds hung out at the top and their first journey down was hilarious because they were so timid, but they have acclimated well. Now after three weeks, the birds DO use every level I originally considered this cage before I got birds (2 budgies) but I was swayed by the research that birds prefer horizontal space.

No issues with the food on the bottom. I’m not using the bottom grate and can easily change the paper towels or paper on the bottom. Cage is sturdy. Doors are nice to open in both directions. I can move the cage around the house without a mess. There is just so much less mess and I find it easier to clean than a slide out bottom. So far I just take the bottom paper out of the sides and even used a vacuum with the wand attachment to get more out the other day without having to unsnap it. Birds seems happy, they love the horizontal bars for climbing up and down. They also seem to enjoy the perches that came with it. … more

We have had this cage for about four years, and it has been home for four to six budgies at a time. There are a lot of pieces to it, but it goes together quickly. The cage is excellent. We bought the smaller version to take the birds to the vet (it travels well) and to use as a quarantine home. We like that the doors fold in or out. When folded in, they sit horizontal, and we call it the "front porch" for the birds. They like to hang out there. The cleaning is easy. The raised acrylic sides on the base contain a lot of mess. We have a water fountain and a small playset on the top. The food bowl location stinks. Even with the covers, they are soiled.

Also, the latches that hold the base and top together are flimsy - they broke very early on. All that aside, I will be buying a new one when what we have wears out. It is a nice bright modern look and is easy to care for. … more

This cage seemed cool but it’s really not practical. The bottom feature is perhaps the worst thing about it. A cage with a drawer is a lot easier, we traumatize our bird every time we clean the cage. The top of the cage, not only doesn’t open like most bird cages, but it’s kind of domed so you can’t put any budgie toys up there - most budgies like to be outside their cage, right on the top. It’s also really hard to remove. The little door hinges are a pain as well, and since they lock with little plastic do-hickies, I imagine they will get worn out quickly. Finally, the non-slip material at the bottom is not needed and just a hassle. It’s hard to move her cage around. I will say that the first This cage seemed cool but it’s really not practical.

I will say that the first one we received was missing a lot of parts, but Chewy was so great about it. They got us a new one at no cost and it came super quickly. Excellent costumer service! … more

Almost didn't buy this cage, because of all the bad reviews and bad comments on the putting it together. If you can build Legos, you can build this cage, it took me 20 minutes to do it all. LOOK at the pictures on the instructions, follow them and done, if you're still having troubles go to YouTube there is always someone that has done it. I double-check my build like that. Also, this cage is perfect for my cockatiel I only have one. Is super tall he has a lot of fun with his toys and climbing.

Received item in record time just to find out it had been damaged during shipping. When opened several major parts were missing. Called to let them know. Next day received a new one with all parts. 5 stars from me. Will purchase from again and excellent costumer service.

Vision bird cages are the best cages I have ever owned. There is no seed mess and they are very easy to clean. My first was a used one and I was hooked. I upgraded to a larger cage when getting a second parakeet. I just wish these cages were more available in the US.

The directions for assembling this beast leave a lot to be desired. They're almost entirely pictures, but not nearly enough close-ups to really see what you're supposed to be doing without any written instruction. It took me a good hour, and I'm a fairly mechanically inclined person. Now that it is assembled, it's a pretty nice cage. I love the built in shields for lessening mess. I like the wire floor so that the birds don't have access to their excrement. It's a great size for our 2 parakeets, plenty of room for toys and such. I am not impressed with how easy the bars are to bend out of shape. They really should be a bit stiffer. I wish the spacing was wide enough to be able to use the little The directions for assembling this beast leave a lot to be desired.

I wish the spacing was wide enough to be able to use the little tube waterer I have too, but that's probably a bit nitpicky. Overall, I'd recommend this cage, but warn to be very careful assembling because of the wires' tendency to bend. … more

When this cage arrived to my home it was damaged. Chewy immediately sent me a new one!! Great cage!

Our budgie loves the space to fly around and being able to explore the ground in his new "condo". Only downside is the sturdiness of the structure. It's not very secure and the assembly was quite frustrating with all the plastic clips to maintain the cage walls, which are pretty ineffective. Some clips have already broken and the base does not secure the walls properly.

birds love it. Very well made. took about 2 hours to put together. no instructions, just very very small pictures, even with magnifying glass ,still to small to see.
