Is this cage ok?

I have 2 lovebirds that have a bigger cage, but recently got a quaker and she's in a small cage. Can anyone tell me if this cage would work for lovies?

Can you tell me the dimensions of the cage?

I haven't measured. What size should it be?

How often are the birds out of the cage? I'd get something bigger unless they were only sleeping and spending a couple hours in there a day. I would get a second food bowl for them too.

I think a 24 x 24 x 24 or 30 x 18 x 18 is the minimum but I would go bigger for sure if you can.

That's an awfully small cage for one lovebird, let alone two lovebirds. And definitely cannot put a Quaker in that one...That cage looks to be the correct size for maybe a single American Budgie, that's about it. Way too small for two lovebirds. You could use it as a very temporary solution until you can pick-up an appropriate cage for them, but not for long. You have to remember that it's not good enough that they can both just open their wings up the whole way, because that would be about all the two of them could do inside of that cage. And you could only at most get maybe 1-2 toys in there with them, which would greatly inhibit their ability to move around and play, and they should be able to have 5-6 toys in the cage with them at any given time. So there's just no way that this cage would work for two lovebirds long-term.

I'd get onto your local Craigslist, there are usually tons of medium to large to extra-large bird cages all over Craigslist, and they're usually really cheap because people just want to get rid of them for the space. I'd see what you can find there, and when you find one (say you find a really great deal on a really large cage) then consider which cage at that point is better for the two lovebirds and which for the Quaker. Obviously the Quaker needs a pretty large cage, so just look at each cage and go from there. Either way though, this cage is at best a travel-cage...

Another place to look for a cage may be a local parrot club. The one I belong to always has donated cages that they sell for fund raising. I had 1 lovebird in a 18X18X42 cage.it was fine because there was lots of space to climb and he was a climber. But I wouldn't have put 2 in the cage. Maybe look for a flight cage. They are very roomy and the bar spacing will be fine. Some of the larger cages may have bar spacing that is too wide for a lovebird. Love birds are very active and need plenty of space to move around.

Seems very small for 2, maybe the size for one(bare minimum) I have a small flight cage for just 1 lovie.

I think that cage would work as a travel or sleep cage, but not a cage to be lived in permanently. Just doesn't look like a lot of space.

The cage posted above is EXCELLENT - spacious as all heck and lots of perches and toys and space to fly. I have a similar one that I got off Amazon for just under $200 shipped and it's huge. It's like the one above but a double flight cage so there's two sides. Would be great for two lovebirds on one side and a Quaker on the other.
