I am thinking of getting this cage for a parrotlet. Is the spacing between the bars good for small birds? Would you still recommend this cage? :-)

Yes, I got it for my two parakeets so the spacing is fine. The cage itself might be a little large for a Parrolette but if you have the space then I'm sure the bird would love it. Overall i'm satisfied but will say some of the pieces are a bit heavy and didn't easily connect with the screws. The pan was bent as well.

Definitely not big enough using the divider, but might be if you use one stack as one cage. We're pushing the limits by keeping Parrotlets pairs in them. *we also own a Nanday Conure that's kept in a larger cage*

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

Spacing 3/4 inches. The diameter about 1/8 inches. If you are purchasing the cage for an Amazon parrot or smaller it is good. Anything larger and you will need heavier bars. I have a yellow headed Amazon and he loves this cage. I did however remove the seed guards, they took up too much space and I really didn't need them.

We found this cage to be a wonderful cage and good quality, but we also found that it was too small for our African Grey. We got a much bigger cage and use this as a spare. I don't recall the specific spacing, but it was not that big. I think it was small enough that I could not fit my finger through it.

Yes, there is enough room, if you let them out a couple time a day when you have time. I've got Pacific Parrotlets in my cages and we let them out a couple times each day, although if you miss a day or so it's ok. I think even a cockatiel would be ok, but it would be tight.

This is a beautiful, big cage but the bar spacing is 1-1/2 inches. I wouldn't put a budgie in this cage. I don't think that they could squeeze out but they could get their head through the bars and then not be able to pull it back through. I bought this for my Double Yellowhead. My parrotlets are in a cage with only a 1 inch bar spacing.

Yes, my cockatiel lived in it quite happily for a month when I moved and we were waiting for the movers to bring her regular cage. My only problem was transferring him in and out. The whole side opens which is nice, but it was a struggle getting him into it without him trying to fly back out at the same time. But my bird was skittish, if your budgie is totally finger trained it should be fine.

Hello. We have three Budgies in this cage and are very happy with it. I measured the spacing between the bars to be 5/8" so there are absolutely no concerns about the birds either getting out or getting trapped. Hope this helps.

I don't have birds but use these cages for rehabbing wildlife. I did buy this exact cage off of CraigsList from a couple that bought it for a Parrotlet and the cage was too big for it so the sold it and purchased a smaller flight cage.

Agree with the other answers. Bars on this cage are a little over 1" apart. I think most people would recommend no larger than 1/2" bar spacing for sugar gliders. You wouldn't want to risk them escaping, or worse, getting stuck and injuring themselves.

I moved a cocktail in the cage. It was great the bars are not to far apart the bird would be injured or try to escape. For me it was a really great product and if you are moving them to a larger cage, this cage really folds to be smaller for easy storage. Good luck with your love birds :)

2-3 parrotlett's would fit in the cage. The Bad side of this cage. When facing cage, the perch goes side to side ABOVE & BETWEEN the feeding area. The door hinders front to back placement of any perch. Also the feeding dishes may be too big for your birds (Like eating out of a bathtub) Solution: buy your own perches, branches, and feeding cups. They do make separate play areas to carry around room to room. OR pick a slightly wider cage.

I love the cage for the parakeets -- they're much smaller than an Africa Grey. I would think if your parrot can be allowed out of the cage, perhaps an actual parrot cage would be better. There are 2 main doors on the Prevue but it would take some good direction for the bird to get in and out. The cage is a great size - but again, my birds are much smaller....

I just bought this one and the one with a stand and the finish does seem tough and durable. Keep in mind these cages are for smaller parrots and not macaws, cockatoos or African greys. I like that the overall cages are compact. The nest box doors are spring loaded so if you don't use nest boxes, I would secure those doors so they don't open. Also the pans are made out of steel and not plastic. They are also coated.

I think it is, I my opion they save money on the gauge of the wire and the thickness of the cage posts. I have pacific parrotlets in mine, but they aren't really chewing on the cage. I've had cheap cages and they do start chewing on the coatings when they start to peal off, but after about a year there hasn't been any change in the cage material. It nice to be able to separate two birds, especially since one of the females is in heat right now.

I have 3 Cockatiels in there.....you know how they say you have to have enough room for them to spread their wings? how big is your amazon? I can email you pictures of my birds inside the cage. it is sturdy, I love that I can roll it to the balcony:)
