I got it used from a friend who had housed a budgie and a lovebird in it (at separate times I assure you- also my friend was pretty uneducated about having pet birds, hence the small cage for a love bird) so I assumed it would meet the p-let requirements at least. He seems pretty happy in it but I still think I should get him a bigger one. Can this wait or is there any sort of urgency? :question: That does seem like a VERY small cage. I don't think it's urgent, but do your best to get him in a bigger cage as soon as possible.

Kakariki I live in Canada My name is Traci	So I have a touch of good news and bad news. Bad news is I'm stupid used the size of Mochi's liners to determine his cage size... but the liner tray is a lot smaller than the actual cage (it curves in at the bottom) So it is likely more like 10x16x15 inches. Slightly better. I'd have actual measurements but I can't find my measuring tape and don't think Mochi would approve of me going through "his room" looking for it and then holding it up to his cage at this hour.

Severe Macaw and 2 Timneth Greys I live in Upstate New York, USA My name is Gail	Just a little advice ...when you are ready to find a new cage, make sure the bar spacing is adequate for a Parrotlet. A lot of people make the mistake of buying cages with too wide spacing! :)

A lot of people make the mistake of buying cages with too wide spacing! :) I agree Gail When i first got scooby nod2 and sky past1 , i put them in a big parrot cage, and when i used to come home from work scooby was always out of his cage and had manged to get into the canaries cage . i watched him one day and he squeezed through the bars of his own caged climbed onto the canairy's cage and squeezed into theirs, i could not stop him he thought it was a game. so yes bar spacing is somthing to consider.
