So ordered this tiny cage as a travel cage to the vet or car ride for my whitehead cockatiel. The door was smaller than expected (opens about 3.5 inches) but the top pops off so can do that to let him in and out. I wouldn't let any bird live in this full time (even budgies) because it is just so small but it will work if he gets sick or if we ever have to evacuate due to weather (tornados common by me). I took out the flimsy dow rods because they can cause harm to a bird's feet and the swing broke pretty easily so i just put in my own toys and small wood perches for him (he wouldn't have fit on swing anyway). Other than wishing the door opened wider, this cage is more or less what i was expecting. It arrived on time and was easy to assemble. The metal is a little flimsy (probably aluminium) but very light weight and easy to carry. All in all a good product but to be fair, I have only owned it for a about an hour now. I will update if any issues pop up.
