Would my birds be able to get out if I removed the bottom grate and just keep the tray in as the bottom?

If your bird is very large no he would not. I think a parakeet probably could get out. Good luckvery nice cage.

Yes they would be able to escape thru the gape. if you take the grate out the pan that you put the "litter" in (or whatever you use) its big enough for them to get out.

It depends on what kind of bird. I don't think a Cockatiel would be able to get out but a smaller bird might be able to. The grate slides in and out and the tray sits on its own track. For what it's worth, I am really happy with this cage and so is my bird.

I figured out I could slide the plastic tray where the metal tray sits. It is a tight squeeze, but it will slide in the metal grate area. I figured this out by accident and thus keeps my birds secure when I clean the metal grate. Took a year to realize this, and after several canaries squeezed thru while I was cleaning metal grate tray.

Only if your birds are very small, this is a great cage for the money !!!! Good luck ......

Wow, it would have to be one smart bird to figure how to get the food, but not impossible I guess. I would bet(heavily) not though because the door is weighted and a bird wouldn't be able to push/hold it open and get the food. This should indeed solve your bird problem.

Buy a cheap aluminum baking sheet for the bottom to provide a way to keep the cage clean. You can easily lift that part of the cage to remove, clean and re insert the tray!.

I love African Greys - such characters! This feeder would prevent your bird from escaping. The feeder can stay entirely inside your cage. It hangs on the bars on the inside of the cage - and is not a through-the-cage type of feeder. It doesn't need to sit in a hole in the cage - it can be placed anywhere inside the cage. This photo shows the feeder being used in a cage that has a hole styled in to the cage, and they are using that area. If you did use it like this photo - I would say "yes" your Grey could probably lift the feeder and escape. So - don't utilize any cut-outs for the feeder, secure and close all of those - and put this incredible feeding box any where you want! I love African Greys - such characters!

Yes, the tray is under the grate...so you can slide it out to clean....very durable

I have a rabbit in mine, but here is my thought:You can use the cage without the grate, though the blue pan is pretty deep. You could also try to cover it with linoleum. Just make sure not to leave edges exposed for them to nibble on. If you did that you would have to do something to prevent urine and feces from running off the floor and out of the cage.

Yes, the top grill grate comes off. Both the bottom small grate and the top grill grate can be used or removed.

The bottom grate is a separate piece that fits over the bottom plastic tray. You can leave it off of you like. It may affect how well the plastic tray fits in, but I have done that before.

The plastic feeder can be removed. Or you can put your bowl inside the plastic tray.

You can only remove the tray underneath to clean. We have avoided cleaning the immovable grates, by placing a newspaper on.

No the bottoms do not come out. We have pads that we put in them and sometimes straw. We did however flip up the little perch in the evening so they don't roost in them. Thus ending most of the "mess" that roosting may cause.

yes you can. the bottom of the cage and the tray are seperate from the stand. our birds dig the extra space.

I suggest putting the tray on top, but it can fit either way. I put the grate underneath the tray because my grey likes to hang upside down from the top of the cage. You also can't hang toys if you have the grate above the tray.

The trays and the cage dividers can be removed (I removed them to give my birds more flight room). My birds always stay in their cage when I am cleaning. The cage itself is nice and large, but I found it a bit flimsy, when cleaning the birds. Still a really good buy.

Yes - there is a grate as the cage bottom then the drip pan - put a perch in this thing and you should be in business - I'd suggest using a long shank padlock for the door - the bird is likely to figure out the latch mechanism far too easy

Two front drop downs side by side in front. One drop down on each end to access food trays. No slide out but I like this better, There is a latch front and rear,you lift the entire cage off the pan. I can vacuum,wash,disinfect and redo the drop papers. This way there is no residue left behind. Also the birds can stay happily in their home while you clean.

The bottom has a tray that pulls out and yes there is grate on the bottom over the tray.
