Factors for choosing a Kings Bird Cage
There’s a number of things you need to consider when buying Kings Bird Cages:
Design and size
Kings Cages come in a variety of shapes and sizes to you need to pick the appropriate one that has the correct bar spacing and wire thickness to match your bird species.
Smaller sized birds include budgies, finches and canaries and they can be fit into smaller sized cages with wire spacing that at a maximum is 1/2″ and has a wire thickness that at a minimum is 2mm. Medium sized birds such as cockatiels, conures and quakers will need wire spacing at a maximum 5/8″ to 3/4″ and 2.5mm wire diameter. Whereas larger birds such as african greys, macaws and cockatoos need wire spacing at maximum 3/4″ to 1″ and wire diameter at a minimum 3.5mm to 5mm.
Also, as you increase the number of birds in a cage you obviously also need to increase the size of the cage. Plus more birds also menas you need more perches.
Ease of Use
You want to check that a number of things are included when deciding upon a bird cage. A removable floor tray makes cleaning a bird cage far easier and is something that is fitted as standard on Kings Cages. Small access doors on the sides of the cages are usually placed next to the feeding/watering stations and this makes it easy for you to top up the feeds and water without opening the large front door (where the bird might fly out of). A bird seed guard or catcher at the bottom of the cage is also sometimes included on larger cages and this prevents waste from hitting the floor. There’s also wheels that should be included on the feet of the cage which will make moving the bird cage around the house much easier. Plus, some cages sacrifice internal space to provide a storage tray beneath the cage which is useful for storing feeds and equipment.
Budget
The building quality of Kings Cages is of a high standard and because they offer a premium product, Kings Cages also tend to be fairly expensive. A small Kings cage such as a flight cage costs around $150 range. A double flight cage will cost around $300 to $400 whereas a large parrot cage is likely to go for around $500. They also offer very large cages that can sell for $1,000 or corner style cages which generally go for around $750.
Quality of the materials
The standard Kings Bird Cage will use wrought iron which comes with a powder coated paint. The paint is applied through a powder coating process because this then makes it very difficult for the birds to chew or scratch it off. Both wrought iron and powder coated paint are bird safe.
Kings also offer cages is a range of other materials as well. There are some aluminium cages that are extra light and so tend to be used with their travel cages. Stainless steel cages also get used for people that want a metallic cage that doesn’t have any paint applied to it. There’s even acrylic cages for people that want cages with a clear view of their birds.
Sometimes a steel mesh is used for the wiring and this is bird safe as they use a galvanized steel after welding process (whereas a galvanized steel before welding isn’t as safe).

Used Kings Cages for Sale
There’s a few things you should check for when buying a Kings Cage secondhand. You’ll want to first look over the cage for defects such as cracks, breaks or any bent wires in the cage. You also want to check the cage to see if an additional layer of paint has been applied. This is something you don’t want because the owner may have applied a paint that isn’t bird safe – the same is true for any cleaning chemicals they might have used. Unfortunately, you’re going to have to trust the individual owner’s word since when you buy used you’re not going to get any type of guarantee or warranty. This means if you find anything wrong later on with the cage they’re unlikely to give you a replacement parts or free repairs. So you can see there’s a number of options if you’re looking for cheap Kings Cages for sale. Those that do go with this approach normally start on Ebay, Gumtree or Craigslist.

Dear Mr. Taylor, I have purchased an old king’s Cage for my African Grey and it is very nice. However it is difficult to clean. It came already assembled and I wonder if there is an assembly error. I cannot remove or slide out the bottom tray w/o disassembly. The seed catchers are on top of the tray. So cleaning is rough. Any ideas? D377.546 patent number this is a Victorian dome style so cage.
Hi Candace,
I’m assuming you own something similar to this product:
http://amzn.to/2G2Is3k
Which should have a slide out tray. If the slide out tray isn’t working then re-assembly may be required.
As for cleaning issues, check out my article on this here:

Hope it helps,

Hi Candace,
So I contacted Kings Cages customer support for the cage model number you stated, asking for assembly instructions. This is what they sent me:

It’s not that useful but hopefully it might help a little bit.

I found a used King cage that I will go to check out now. I think it is model SLUX 2716 or maybe an older model that looks like this one but the metal is a solid white instead of two colors on the modern one. If the seed cups and plexiglass is missing or broken is it hard to find replacement parts like these? I read your article about making sure that it has not been repainted first already. Thanks so much!
Hi Clare,
Stainless steel seed cups and watering trays for bird cages are fairly easy to replace and can be found on Amazon, such as in the link below:
Feeding cups
However, bird safe plexiglass or acrylic is a bit harder. For this, I recommend checking out this our acrylic guide using the link below:

At the end is a section on cleaning which is important to learn if you get this cage.
All the best,
Jack
