Review Summary
"Reviewers find the Hagen Living World Deluxe Habitat convenient and easy to clean, suitable for small birds or temporary housing, but many say it's less sturdy and spacious than metal flight cages for long-term use. It's commonly recommended for transport, beginners, or quarantine rather than as a permanent large-cage solution."

The Kaytee Come Along Carrier is a simple, budget-friendly hard-plastic travel solution designed for very small birds and quick trips outdoors; its molded base and secure latch make cleanup and basic transport fast and inexpensive.

"The Kaytee Come Along Carrier is appreciated for being affordable, easy to carry, and simple to clean, though many reviewers say it's small, a bit flimsy, and better suited for very short trips or single birds rather than extended travel.
