Setup Instructions

Assembly of this cage requires careful attention to detail. While the design is intended for straightforward setup, it is recommended to lay out all components before beginning.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components are present according to the packing list (not provided in this manual, refer to product packaging).
2. Assemble Base with Wheels: Attach the casters to the cage base. Ensure they are securely fastened to allow for easy movement.
3. Construct Lower Level: Assemble the side panels, front, and back panels for the lower cage section onto the base. Secure all connections using the provided hardware. Pay close attention to the orientation of panels with door openings.
4. Install Lower Level Internal Components: Insert the bottom grate and sliding tray into the lower cage section. Place the wooden perches and attach the stainless steel feeder bowls to their designated swivel or swing-out doors.
5. Attach Divider/Mid-Section: Place the middle divider panel, which forms the top of the lower cage and the base for the upper cage, onto the assembled lower section. Secure it firmly.
6. Construct Upper Level: Repeat step 3 for the upper cage section, assembling its side, front, and back panels onto the middle divider.
7. Install Upper Level Internal Components: Insert the bottom grate and sliding tray into the upper cage section. Place the wooden perches and attach the stainless steel feeder bowls.
8. Attach Top Panel: Secure the top panel of the cage.
9. Final Checks: Ensure all doors latch securely and all connections are tightened. Verify that the removable trays and grates slide in and out smoothly.

Note on Hardware: The assembly may involve multiple screw sizes. If instructions are unclear, match screws to their corresponding holes by size and type (e.g., self-tapping for metal, machine screws for pre-threaded holes). Do not overtighten screws.

Operating Instructions

Accessing the Cage:

• Main Doors: The large front access doors on each level are secured with parrot-proof latches. To open, manipulate the latch mechanism and swing the door outward. Ensure the latch is fully engaged when closing to prevent escapes.
• Side Doors: Smaller side doors are available, which can be used for additional access or as breeding doors. These also feature secure latches.

Feeding and Watering:

• Swivel Feeder Cups: The cage is equipped with swivel feeder cups. To refill, rotate the cup outward without opening the main cage door. After refilling, rotate it back into position, ensuring it is securely seated.
• Swing-Out Feeder Doors: Some feeder cups are located behind swing-out doors. Unlatch the small door, swing it open, and access the cups. Close and latch securely after use.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for your bird's health and the longevity of the cage.

• Daily Cleaning:
  • Empty and clean all feeder and water bowls.
  • Remove any visible droppings or food debris from the cage floor.
• Weekly Cleaning:
  • Removable Trays: Slide out the bottom trays from each level. Dispose of waste and wash the trays thoroughly with bird-safe disinfectant and water. Rinse completely and dry before returning.
  • Removable Grates: The bottom grates can also be removed for cleaning. Scrub them to remove any stuck-on debris. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Monthly Deep Cleaning:
  • If possible, transfer your bird(s) to a temporary enclosure.
  • Wipe down all cage bars and surfaces with a bird-safe cleaner. Pay attention to corners and crevices where debris can accumulate.
  • Inspect perches for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Clean perches thoroughly.
  • Check all latches and moving parts for proper function.
• General Tips:
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can be harmful to birds.
  • Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and returning your bird to the cage.

Troubleshooting

• Difficulty with Assembly: If you encounter issues during assembly due to unclear instructions, refer to the product images for visual guidance. Ensure all parts are correctly oriented and that you are using the appropriate hardware for each connection. Do not force parts together.
• Doors Not Latching Securely: Check for any obstructions around the latch mechanism. Ensure the door frame is not bent or misaligned. Adjust if necessary.
• Trays or Grates Sticking: Ensure the cage is on a level surface. Check for any debris or bent wires that might be impeding the smooth movement of the trays or grates. Clean thoroughly.
• Cage Instability: Verify that all screws and connections are tightened. Ensure the casters are properly installed and locked if stationary.
• Suitability for Bird Species: This cage is designed for large birds. However, for birds with exceptionally strong beaks, such as certain cockatoo species, the wire bars may not be sufficient to prevent damage over time. Regularly inspect the cage for any signs of wear or damage, especially if housing such species. Consider the specific needs and behaviors of your bird when selecting a cage.
