Nevermind, I see that the bar spacing is 1" and I think I read that that's too big for a Sun and definitely too big for a Green Cheek.

SIGH. lol Guess I'll keep looking.

Have you tried CL?

You should look look up flight cages, they have appropriate bar spacing and are big.

Why is 1" too big? I have had my GCC for 10 days and she has been in a cage with 1" spacing. I haven't had any problems...Should I be worried?

Generally 1" bar spacing is not recommended for smaller birds such as GCCs as they could possibly squeeze their head through the cage bars.

1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" spacing is preferred and safer.

1 inch bar spacing is far to big for a Conure!

Have you tried CL?

I've been searching the Canadian equivilent of CL; Kijiji.ca

I found one large cage for $80 but I think the spacing was too big and it looked kind of dirty. Another I'd found twice the size of what I'd need was $100 but that person never replied to me.

Thanks for the tip. I keep seeing good prices on flight cages but wasn't sure if they were suitable (for whatever reason).

I had read that 1" spacing was too big and the birds could get their heads stuck possibly.

That looks like a great sized cage for a sun conure!

Here's a flight cage that my friend has, it's well made and sturdy

HQ Flight Bird Cage - Presented by BirdsComfort.com

Another good cage is from petco, it's very large and has a playtop with a pull out tray but keeps the smaller bar safe spacing. I almost got this cage for my galah been ended up going much larger for her.

Oh poo!

I really like that one from Petco but unfortunately we do not have Petcos in Canada.

And the website with the HQ cage does not appear to ship to Canada. They only have USA in the shipping/checkout options.

Thank you though, haha.

You can probably find Canadian web sites with the first cage, HQ is a popular world wide cage.

Aww, would they ship to cananda? if so it would probably be expensive...

 

[WiseOwlette]

I'll try and find some Canadian distributors of the HQ cages, thanks
