Hi I was wondering if someone could tell me the best size of cage for my bird and if its length, width or height thats important. Also is there a specific cage you could suggest I should purchase in the UK. Thanks |

it really all depends on how much you have to spend and how much room you have, you can use a large budgie cage, this is what i have two of my parrotlets in. or you can buy a larger cage like say bubble and squeak are in. on bar spacing 15mm is really the largest gap i would go with, any larger and the parrotlet might get his/her head stuck in the gap. http://www.24parrot.com/Fiji-P97211a/ or if you wanted bigger this is what my budgies are in http://www.24parrot.com/San-Remo-(Choice-o...lours)-P97291a/ or like i said a largeish budgie cage something like this maybe http://www.petsathome.com/invt/13618 my own view on cages is buy the largest and the best you can, you might start with a budgie cage and then decide you want something bigger and better. these cages do appear expensive for a small parrotlet but they do use all the space they are given. |

Kevin is right get what you can afford but try to get something with enough room for lots of toys. You have 2 months or so to get saved up for a nice cage. |

Those are all nice cages. I love the one I have because it has a built in skirt around it which saves a lot of cleaning of the floor..lol... ;) |

LARGE and wide. They fly sideways. A flight cage works well. Posted Image |
