Hi I was wondering if this cage was too big for a single parrotlet.

Im not recommending this site just using it as an example.

Thanks

I would love to have that size cage for my parrotlets. If you have the room I would say go for it!

There's certainly plenty of room for toys in that cage :lol: :lol:

As with a lot of things, it's purely a personal choice. We found that when our P'lets were new, a large cage scared them & they preferred the security of a smaller cage. Now they've been with us for a while we're getting them a bigger cage (at least 20" x 20" base). It's a lot of money to lay out & find out that they're intimidated by the size of the cage. Then again, they might love it in there.

It's really up to you.

Wow that's a big cage and if you have the room that's great but as Andy said sometimes when they first arrive they are a little afraid of a huge cage. I tried putting my Green Cheeked Conure in a huge cage once because It was empty. He was absolutely terrified and wouldn't come off the side of the cage. I tried adding a lot of extra toys but he still wouldn't come off even to eat he hung on the side of the cage. I put him back in his normal cage and he was as happy as could be. It's certainly a very nice cage and you will be able to put LOTS of toys in it.

Looks like fun. You can put MANY toys, rope perches, swings of all sizes, coconut toys etc. in there. Big boings too. I put toys all the way down in my cage, you will have fun furnishing that cage! If it is a baby Parrotlet, you need to start with a small cage. Don't want them to fall. Posted Image

the bar spacing is fine on these cages as they are designed for budgies and smaller birds. it is a seriously big cage though eek. :)

That’s a nice cage! I wish I would have gone bigger when I bought Cricket’s. If you have the room for such a large cage then I say go for it too! Just think of all the “stuff” you can put in there!!!! :)
