Prevue Pet Products Wrought Iron Flight Cage F040

Perch variety. Several diameters and textures, with natural wood as the main type Perching on one uniform diameter all day contributes to foot sores (bumblefoot).
Cleanability. Pull-out tray and grate, and accessories that clip on or come off without tools Daily cleaning only happens if it is easy.
