Rank #4 in Best Bird Cages 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why Three Are the Same Box
HYGRAD 132 x 79 x 51.8cm Large Bird Cage on Wheels
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
Fourth in our guide to bird cages, this is the HYGRAD Built to Survive A307/A309: a metal flight cage measuring 132 x 79 x 51.8 cm in black, listed at £74.99, on wheels, with a removable lower tray. The bullet points promise three polished wooden perches and four plastic feeders, the powder coated hammertone finish is described as resistant to rust, water and corrosion, and the listing carries 4.4 out of 5 from 287 ratings against a rank of 11th in Birdcages.
The finding here is the one that runs through the guide: the number in the title is a label, not a measurement. 'Large' and '132cm' both point at a single side of the box — the listing's own bracket gives 132 x 79 x 51.8 cm — and the model field reads 'A307/A309', two numbers for one cage, as does a spec table that files a bird product under 'Dog Breed Size: Large'. The star breakdown is looser still: its bars add up to 100 ratings (74 five-star, 13 four-star, 5 three-star, 2 two-star, 6 one-star) while the headline count says 287. Everything on this page comes from that Amazon listing, not from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I was looking for a cage that would be perfect for my pet rats, and this cage is very big, sturdy and a very good quality. Kinda tedious to build it but well worth the money. Alot can fit inside a cage. Its on wheels and makes it so much easier to move the cage around if needed. Got 4 boy rats who are 2 months old and I assure you that they cannot fit through the bars and escape. So theres nothing to worry about.”
Verified purchase“Was looking on fb marketplace for a cage for two new green cheek conures. Then found this one and it was of a similar size, if not slightly larger, than the ones on marketplace, for about £10 more. And no need to go and drive to collect it which would add fuel cost into the equation.Really pleased with it, had no issues putting it together. Sturdy cage and my birds love it. Secure and sturdy.Similar cages on parrot sites are well over £130.”

Questions people ask
How big is the HYGRAD A307/A309 cage?
The title gives 132 x 79 x 51.8 cm for the black version and calls the cage 132cm, so that figure is one side of the box rather than a total. No further dimensions appear in the listing.
How many perches and feeders are included?
The bullet points say three polished wooden perches and four plastic feeders, while the included components field says Divider/Bowl/Tray. The two lists do not match.
What is the bar spacing, and can small pets get out?
The listing gives a Gap Size of 1.5 cm. The cage is filed under Pet Type: Bird with Canary, Cockatiel, Parrot and Lovebird as target species, but one reviewer keeps four young rats in it and reports they cannot fit through the bars.
Does it have wheels?
Yes. The title says Stand Wheels Rolling Portable, and a reviewer describes it as being on wheels and much easier to move around when needed.
Is the 4.4 rating based on 287 reviews?
The listing states 4.4 out of 5 from 287 ratings, but the star breakdown shown on the same page adds up to 100: 74 five-star, 13 four-star, 5 three-star, 2 two-star and 6 one-star.
What is it made of and is it guaranteed?
The bullets describe powder coated hammertone paint metal, said to resist rust, water and corrosion, and the listing gives a 1 year warranty.
