Attach the legs to the top shelf with the remaining screws and nuts. Tighten all bolts.
Insert the cage basket by inserting the pins in the basket bottom into the holes in the top of the
cage stand. This will have a snug fit. Screw into the stand on all 4 sides.
Step 2 – the cage
Place the left side of the cage (short side without seed cup doors) inside the cage basket; be sure
the track is facing inward and downward. Attach the back panel of the cage by inserting the
male plastic clip into the female recepto r . Repeat with right s ide and front of cage, making sure
the all 8 clips are in the male/female locked pos ition.
Insert the 2 bottom support bars into the bottom of the cage by placing the wire end resting on
the back of the cage and the claw end to the front of the cage over the support bar on the cage
front. Space the two bars evenly in the cage bottom.
Insert t he bottom gr ille by sl iding into top tr a c k.
Insert the bottom tray by sliding into the bottom track.
Insert cups and perch.
Attach cage top by taking the top section and placing it above the cage wire and gently apply
pressure to the cage body to insert t he roof mesh under the bent wire clips. Be sure that all four
clips have the roof mesh under them and this is secure.
Step 3 – the seed guard
Use one short guard and one long guard, attach t hese t wo pieces to get her to for m a “V”. Insert
this into one end and side of the cage just above the base of the cage. The guard fits slightly
inside and under the first set of cage wire.
Connect the second end of the guard and fit the connector together. Finish by inserting the final
side of the guard and connect bot h sides of the guard with the connect or s. In order for this to
provide the proper fit and do its job properly, it may take some adjusting.
Your cage should now be ready for your pet bird. Be sure to include lots of toys and change
them out often to keep your pet content.
