5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Using the Divided Breeding Feature
The cage includes a central dividing grate that allows it to be used as two separate living spaces. This is ideal for housing multiple birds that require individual enclosures or for breeding purposes. To remove the divider and create a larger single cage, simply slide it out from its designated slots.
Figure 7: The cage can be divided into two sections, each with its own access and accessories.
5.2. Feeding and Watering
The cage is equipped with multiple feeders that can be easily refilled from the outside without opening the main doors. Simply slide up the small access door, remove the feeder, fill it with seeds or water, and slide it back into place. Ensure the access door is securely closed after refilling.

5.3. Mobility and Stability
The rolling stand allows for easy relocation of the cage. To move the cage, unlock the brakes on the swivel wheels. Once the cage is in the desired position, engage the wheel brakes to ensure stability and prevent accidental movement.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning
The cage features pull-out grates and trays for convenient cleaning. Regularly slide out the bottom trays and grates to remove droppings and debris. Wash the trays with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely before returning them to the cage. The waterproof finished metal cage can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
