Black Wire Cage Front with Door 330 x 330mm (CFR20B)

This is a black wire cage front measuring 330 x 330mm, product code CFR20B, fitted with a door. It's the front panel that goes onto a box cage, so it's a component rather than a complete cage.

Why Choose a Black Front

Black powder-coated fronts have become the preferred choice for a lot of breeders and exhibitors, and it comes down to visibility. Black wire visually recedes, so your eye passes straight through it to the bird behind. Silver and galvanised wire catches the light and draws attention to itself, which is why show birds and display cages are so often behind black. If you're photographing birds, showing them, or simply want a tidy-looking bird room, the difference is noticeable.

Black finishes also tend to hide marks and general wear better than bare metal over time.

What a Cage Front Is For

If you haven't built cages before: a box cage is made with a solid back, sides, top and base, usually plywood or melamine, with the front left open. The wire front is then fitted to that opening to complete the cage.

It's the standard way Australian breeders set up their bird rooms, for a few practical reasons. Building your own works out considerably cheaper than buying finished cages, particularly when you need several. Solid-sided boxes help birds feel secure and settle, which matters when they're breeding. They contain seed husks and mess far better than all-wire cages. And you can build them to whatever depth suits the space you have, then bank them up in rows.

Fronts are also commonly bought as replacements. If a front on an existing cage gets bent, damaged or the door catch fails, swapping just the front costs a fraction of replacing the cage.

Size

At 330 x 330mm this is a square front, suited to smaller box cages, stock cages and holding cages. Some breeders also fit two fronts side by side on a wider box to create a divided double cage. Measure your cage opening before ordering to confirm the fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a complete bird cage?
No. It's the wire front panel only, 330 x 330mm, with a door. It's fitted to a box cage that you build or already own, and doesn't include the box, base, perches or feeders.

What size is it?
330 x 330mm. Measure your cage opening first to make sure it matches.

Why is a black front better than a silver one?
Black wire is far less visually obtrusive, so you see the bird rather than the wire. That's why it's popular for show cages, display cages and photography. Silver wire reflects light and draws the eye.

How do I make a bird cage front work?
Build a box with a solid back, sides, top and base from plywood or melamine, leaving the front open, then fit this wire front to that opening. That gives you a complete cage.

Can I use it as a replacement front?
Yes, that's a common use. If your current front is bent, damaged or the door catch has failed, replacing the front is much cheaper than replacing the whole cage, just check the measurements match.

Does it come with a door?
Yes, this front includes a door.

Can I fit two side by side?
Yes. Because it's square, two fronts can be fitted next to each other on a wider box to make a double or divided cage, which is a common breeding room setup.
