I own this cage and I completely agree with some of the most known budgeriar trainers in the world that this cage is great. Here is my review:
This cage is much bigger than it looks, and it is much loved in our home. However if you keep more than two budgies in it, you are obviously a terrible owner as it is not meant for more than two.
The system for feeding is so geniously built, and I have never seen anything above or equal to it. We are never concerned that there is empty seed shells covering the top, since they drop every single one into the collector underneath.
It takes a lot of patience to assemble, but in return you can pick wherever you want your entrances. The instructions are easy, however it is much harder than other cages. For example my budgie prefers to land on the top and dive in, and we the owners prefer to put our hand in closer to the bottom.
Multiple people also bring up that the distance between the pieces in this cage is dangerous. It is not, as long as you assemble it correctly and tighten every screw. The distance between the bars are also safe. We've measured. The owner should always check their cage for faults before allowing the birds in their.
It is easy to clean, since the cage itself is clasped securely to the bottom. You can simply unclasp it and pick up the top. The bottom can be washed with hot water and whatever you prefer (we use vinegar), and they actually sell perfectly shaped and safe paper to insert in the bottom to easily throw away droppings.
If you decide to buy the bath, be aware that it might be a bit shallow if your budgies love to really soak themselves. Here they prefer to shower in the sink and only rinse themselves in the bath anyways.
The cloth you can buy with it is too dense, and don't let enough light into the cage. They do need some light to find their way around if they get frightened by sounds at night. We had to sew one ourselves.
The shipping from Omlet is expensive, so if you want to buy equipment made for this cage I recommend you do it while buying the cage. The piñata toys they sell, as well as the snacks/cuttlefish bones/blocks, are my budgies favourites so I regret not stocking up when we first ordered.
Budgies don't need a "safe corner" in the cage. They need to have their cage placed somewhere they feel safe, which is high up and with multiple sides of their cage against a wall so that they feel in control. Those "facts" about round cages come from the historically round cages that are made to be tall, tiny, cute and with hazardous distance between the bars.
I might not recommend you transfer a budgie that's used to a squared cage to a round cage immediately. They would need some time exploring the new one before they move in permanently, but that's kinda obvious.
Does it encourage owners to display there budgies in the centre of the room? Maybe. Does it look like decor? Yes. Is it big enough for one or two budgies to spend all their time in it? No, because they should be allowed to go out whenever they want.
However all the flaws I see with this cage and all the concerns I read about this cage reflects more on poor ownership rather than the actual cage.
