Hello :)
I have a corner cage and I love it! there's lots of room and different areas to put toys and perches!
there are 2 trays that have to be cleaned but that doesn't take too long !

I used to have a corner Cage and loved it:) When I moved I did not have a spare Corner to put it in:(

I found it had loads of space! My only negative remark would be trying to arrange the Paper in the tray to cover it all, as its curved! Not really a problem though once you get used to doing it:)

haha yes, the rectangle tray is easy, its just 6 big pieces of newspaper, but i have gotten the hang of the cornered one, you just have to fold a piece at an angle ;)
heres a picture :) ( dont mind one of the toys above his head, he destroyed it last night so need to rethread blocks through it ;) )

He looks tiny inside it! lol

I have a corner cage... the curved front is a nuisance, I would suggest getting one like Tabs, because trying to fit paper in the curve is horrible, folding on an angle would be easy. I am considering buying litter tray liners and using cat litter in the bottom instead of just news paper, thats how annoying the curve is :p

I was going to get this corner cage that Tab has, but decided to buy an identical cage to what I currently have and join them together so I have a big half circle cage instead of a corner cage LOL But I do love being able to pop it in a corner. It does make it harder to clean mess underneath and off walls and depending on the type of corner cage (if you get a curved one!) they can tip over forwards easily if you pull them straight out. The trick is to pull them sideways instead.

Otherwise I love them :D I have heaps of unused corners LOL

I don't have a corner cage and I don't like them... only one I'd recommend is one with more square like features than round ones.

Round corner cages can be difficult to place perches and dishes in.

The squared ones (like Fargo's cage) are easier to place perches and dishes in.


Some corner cages have "V" shaped bars. These can be extremely dangerous to a birds' appendages or even head/neck.


Corner cages really only fit inside the corner. Regular square or rectangular cages can go anywhere without looking out of place!

Corner cages have two trays and two grates. Non-corner cages typically only have one of both (unless you get double cages) - so this means more cleaning in corner cages.

Corner cages often have a bar for the double trays/grates, so yet again, more cleaning.


If you don't mind all that extra cleaning, and you get the *right* corner cages, I feel as if they can make excellent cages!
