Cage for Galah 'Too

[MustLoveAnimals]

Would this be a suitable cage for a Galah Cockatoo? It's 72" tall, 40" wide, and 30" deep. And it's only $100!
Of course I'm going to look at it in person first.

Yes, that's a good size and a good price, just make sure there is no rust. I would also ask what happened to the bird...

The size works, double check the bar spacing- you don't want your fid to be able to stick their head through the bars; my galah's cage has 3/4" bar spacing, and I would say a max of 1"

Also, as kimkim suggested- make sure there's no rust...and disinfect the heck out of it if you bring it home

Will do! And I believe they just got the cage hoping to fill it one day, and never did, but I will ask them in person.
If there is rust, could I put any sort of protective coating on it?

I will bring my measuring tape.
What would be a safe disinfectant to use?

Some people have repainted cages, but I personally would not recommend it...I would pass on it [emoji51]

Use bleach and water to scrub and wipe it down then let it dry in the sun.

Ahh, okay.
I'll remember that! Thanks!
