Are the seed guards (or “mess guards”) built into the cages?
All of our cages are measured by the Width x Depth x Overall Height. The included mess guards (most models) add 3.5″ – 4″ to the stated dimensions of each side of the cage (8″ to the depth and 8″ to the width). The attachment method varies by cage (they are optional), and are always sturdy, yet removable.
