You cant see them in the pictures, but there are about 20 quarter size holes drilled out all along the bottom of the plexiglasss and up both sides of the top piece, and holes drilled out of the wood on in top. The ventilation was fine until I used those pellets which would cause harm even in a wire cage. The only safe product for birds is paper. I cant express how much I regret going into Petsmart that day and seeing their cages and wanting pellets in mine too. And I still carry a lot of anger towards them and the company for saying they were safe. The company is no longer in buisness and petsmart carries no more wood based pellets, my petco does. The aslo say completey safe for birds and pine free but if you check what they are made out of you will see 35% pine shavings. I have to take any opportunity to warn people about this now so no other birds will die from this.
But since then I have re-done the whole cage. Took off the top plexiglass piece and replaced it with wire. Took out everything inside the cage and replaced it all with perches. I will always be proud of the cage because I thought it was awesome! But putting those pellets in it ruined everything about it. I Learned the hard way never to use them and will continue to warn against them until companys realize not everything is good for birds too.
