Abstract: A bird cage has a top grill, a front grill, at least two side grills, and a base. The top, bottom, and side grills and the base define an interior space. A playpen for the cage has a drawer located between the base and the interior space. The drawer is slidable between the interior space and the exterior of the bird cage. There is also a bottom grill that is slidable in and out within in the drawer, to give access to the playpen drawer for cleaning. The playpen preferably includes a perch, a toy hook, and water and food dishes.
