What ACTUAL measurement is 3/4? (Keeping in mind I'm Australia and we use proper measurements like the rest of the world

)
I have a pair of Green Cheeks in a cage with 17mm bar spacing. They can't fit their goofy little heads through it

thingamagigs i just converted it- i have to when people say cage sizes because we are silly and use cm in australia

but i think its 1.9cm.. so 19mm

3/4 bar spacing is too big for a GCC, should be 1/2 or 5/8. Also 18 x 18 is pretty small too.

True! I think the 2mm extra could make all the difference... they are very small little dudes and I did always think 17mm was the upper most space you could get away with. In fact I just got them a new cage with 10mm spacing.

It's 18x18 x 50 something so it's tall but he'd only be in it to sleep honestly outher wise he'll be out and about and I guess we'll see maby he won't go poking thro well at least I hope

ROFLMAO You have NO idea how long it took me to get used to inches, feet, miles, ounces, cups...because I was born and raised in Germany and never heard of such measurements in my life.

I have a GCC in that bar spacing & so far so good. It wasn't really planed. The bird was a rehome & i didn't have a suitable cage available for him.
I think is should be fine as long as he can't get his head stuck between the bars.
