I have 2 conures... Is this cage big enough for them to fly inside? How thick is the wire?
1725256
I have a friend using this cage for a pair of cockatiels and it is fine. They can fly within it. I have two of the cages, with 5 parakeets in each and they are not over crowded. I am a middle aged woman, and I can bend the thinnest of the wires with my fingers if I apply quite a lot of force. It hurts my finger tips, but I can flex the wire if I try hard. My neighbor's sun conure is quite a feisty fellow. He lets him self out of his cage and then lets all the other birds out of their cages. Conures are kind of "birds of a different feather." You would be a better judge of your own birds. The cockatiels are content to NOT break out.

I don't think so. My two conures haven't tried to fly inside it since I bought it. They do like it though and scramble up & down the ladders, hang upside down, etc. One word of caution: The little locks on the top two little doors are flimsy and I had to permanently secure them. The wire is not thick. The cage is very easy to clean, and I replaced the feeding cups that came with the cage with sturdier ones. Overall, my birds and I are happy with this cage.

i think it is big enough for them to fly in, only if you dont put much inside the cage. the wire is about 1/16 of an inch thick.

If you don't install the interior horizontal parts the conures MIGHT be able to fly, but I doubt it. Of course, that depends on the size of your conures. I think extending the length and height of the cage with an add-on would be preferred

Yes it large!!!!.. my birds Love their new home they can fly but not like if they was outside but they can spread their wings..... I hope this help & as far as how thick is the wire? Well I really don't know but the cage is very strong & study...I think your birds will love it as well as mine does..... Ms.B

Depending on the size of you conures, there is plenty of room for exercise. Not free flying like in an aviery, but room to spread wings and stretch out. I don't know the exact thickness but it's very sturdy. The bars are set close so that the smaller parrots don't get hurt. It's a good quality cage. We're very happy with it. We have a cockatiel in ours and he only uses the upper hall of the cage. I hope this is useful to you.

They probably will not want to fly (my cockateils do "lift" to another close perch/area though--other fun activity things for them, woven wood branches, nests, etc.). The wires are 1/16th of an inch, and coated well so clean-up is easy.

Although you can increase the area available for flying by not install hanging toys and the horizontal decking, I don't think the cage, as designed, is big enough for flying. It is better to add on another section with access thereto from one of the doors at the top on either end.

This is a big cage. It's great for cockatiels. Even several of them. So it will be huge for a love bird. You may want to get a second one. ;)

I think this cage might be too big for parakeets unless you have a lot of them. I would prefer a smaller cage. The bars are close enough together so I don't think the birds could get out but I think for just a couple of birds it might be daunting. The size of the cage I think would just be too big.

As I have stated previously I believe this question is better directed to the manufacturer. If you send them an emailthey will send you directions on how to assemble the cage and include the lead question. The cage is quite roomy formy cockatiel who is more than 9 inches. While the cage is 20"w by 20" deep it is 24" tall. I have 3 food dishes and a waterdish as well as sleeping house in this cage and still have plenty of room for toys etc. I have had the cage for a few months now and my bird has his mouth on it every day when he climbs up and down (inside and out) and I have observed no illeffects. Budgies are smaller than cockatiels so two should fit fine. As I have stated previously I believe this question is better directed to the manufacturer.

I have this cage for a green cheek conure and it is adequate in size. He enjoys the top when he's out and I find it easier to clean than our other, larger cage.

I think this cage is big enough for two budgies but not big enough for two cockatiels. Cockatiels need more space as they are bigger birds.

I have this cage and I have my 2 cockatiels in it and there's plenty of room. I highly recommend this cage. It's a very good cage.

This cage is definitely large enough for two parakeets...I currently keep a mated pair of cockatiels in mine. Tis larger than you think.

I really liked this cage, but it was too big for my conure. Since it opens on top, I think it will work for your parrot.

I don't know if the thickness is the same but I am very happy with the cage. It was easy to put together. I have some small finches and they have not escaped through the bars.

The cage (only) is 60&1/2" wide, 18" deep, 31 &1/2" tall....I am considering replacing this cage with one about 2/3rds as wide. I live in a second floor apartment. In an emergency, I need to corral my birds and stuff them into a cage I can carry outside. Carrying this cage is not gonna happen and wheeling it down a flight of stair won't happen either. Also, for Budgies and Cockatiels, you really should have horizontal bars.

I think this cage is way too big for parakeets. I would go with something with smaller bars and bar spacing. :)

I love this cage for my tiny budgie. However I feel it would be small for a larger bird especially when they get flapping their wings. I own two cages by this manufacturer, this one and a smaller one I use when traveling. I would recommend the manufacturer but opt for a larger cage for a larger bird.

It is a big cage. You could easily fit 2 or 3. I only have one in it and my bird flys around the cage.

I think it would be. My Parrotett is a bit smaller but your conure would enjoy the top gym immensely!

I think the cage would be fine for a Parakeet. I have a cockatiel in my cage the bird and I both love the cage.

I have 2 Parakeets in the cage and it can fit more. I think this size is not tall enough (16") for Lovebirds, plenty wide at 30", the company makes many sizes-see if they have one taller. My Keets love the cage-plenty of room to fly.
