I have two budgerigars whose nails and wings I keep very trim. I bought this product so that when I moved up to Seattle they'd have a little extra protection to keep them warm during the winter (I keep my thermostat at 70, don't worry...I just like to be cautious).

My hen, PIA, kept getting her toes caught in the fabric lining of the bag, so I kept them trim and kept checking in on her to be sure the bag wasn't an issue, and for a few weeks it wasn't. Then one morning I heard them squawking like mad, pulled the cover off of the cage, and saw PIA bleeding from the foot. Luckily I had some quick-stop nearby, so the bleeding stopped quickly and I removed the bag. If I hadn't of been there, though, she might have been in a really bad state.

I've also heard reports of birds chewing up the lining and chocking on the fabric, or the intestines going into a "accordion" like scrunch (the fabric will get caught at some point in the intestines but they'll continue the action of moving it down to the large intestine, causing the intestine to scrunch up on itself and, if not treated, kill the bird. This also applies for...well, any animal), birds getting caught in the metal part suspending the bag from the ceiling and dying...


Some of these are freak-accident like things(catting caught in the suspension), others are a big risk (toes getting caught).

For me, it's just not worth it.

I had bought one of these from a local pet store thinking it would be a great place for my lovies to roost at night. They really did like it but one day my female got caught and trapped inside it. The inside "bedding" had wrapped around her foot and caused severe bleeding which resulted in a trip to the vet. I was at work when it happened but luckily my husband was home and was able to free her and get her medical attention. I would NOT buy this product it has a very high risk of hurting or even killing your bird.

I have a green cheek conure and its alittle small for her but she loves it. It is a durable material and was shipped promptly.
