I was originally going to get an African grey but recently I have really grown fond of alexandrine parakeets. I know there are several members on here with them so I wanted to ask what size cage you recommended for them.
Thanks, Chris.

The cage should always be the biggest you can afford... It needs to be big enough for your alex to spread his wings, and accommodate his long tail...

Alexandrines are wonderful birds, and they do say, they have the most stable temperaments of all parrots...

I love Max... When he's pissed off, he looks like a lion... All his feathers around his head are raised... lol

That's what I was going to do. What is the max bar spacing they can have? Because I'm sure I can find a macaw cage on cl for cheap but they have an inch plus bar spacing. Is that too big?

I attached some photo's of Bert and his cage for you to have a look at!

They are such beautiful and incredible birds :) Bert doesn't really love cuddles that often but loves to be around me and calls out to me when I leave the room. We have great conversations! He is very stubborn but I love him to pieces.
