    Cage sizing question for ARN

    I don't know if this warrants its own thread here rather than my current Ringneck thread but I didn't easily find one after searching the forum. For anyone who's had an African Ringneck, would you recommend following bar spacing for a cockatiel? Or bigger like a conure? My little guy just seems...

    Caique?

    So I have been doing some serious research about what bird I want to get. After quite a while, I finally decided that I'm getting a caique! I found a local aviary that sells them for 250 each (a bargain I know). I have done lots of research and know quite a bit about them, but I wanted to make...

    Can a cage be too big?

    Hello all. About a week ago I purchased a Panama Amazon, she was hatched in early June so she is about five months old. She is great. She is cuddly, very gentle when she bites, and is very open to trying new things be it food or toys. She is a little clumsy and is unsure how to negotiate...

    Cage for an IRN

    Hello! So I am getting an Indian ringneck within the next year, one thing that is baffling me a bit is the cage size, bar spacing ect. I have been trying to look for a suitable cage for an Indian ringneck so I can buy it in advance and get it set up before I get my new baby bird. I have decided...

    Cage size for green cheek?

    I'm getting a green cheek soon, I wanted to know the size of cage I should get for him because, like my budgie, he'll have free reign of the house and his cage will be open all the time, so what size should I get for him? Also, any pointers for a Conure beginner like me would be nice.

    Can a Cage be TOO Big?

    Hi everyone! So recently I've been wanting to get my Conure, Georgia, a new cage. My schedule has been all over the place lately and some days she has to spend more in-cage time than either of us would like, so I have thought about buying her a larger cage to give her more room to play as well...

    Hi, I am new here! I will be getting a sun conure within the next several weeks. He is still in the process of being weaned, so I have time to make preparations. I am trying to find the largest cage possible while still having the appropriate bar spacing. However, it seems that larger cages...

    What is the best cage for a GCC?

    Hi there, was wondering if anyone can give me a straight answer to what is the no1 best cage for a green cheek conure. I know bigger is better but I'm wanting to know if anyone can tell me a specific cage (make/model). Price isn't a issue as I want the best for the bird, thanks.

    Recommended cage size is too small

    I just got a peach-faced lovebird a week ago, and I can already tell that his 18x18x24 cage won't cut it. He's pacing the cage bottom and making some whole-hearted escape attempts. I want to know what cage size would be, without a doubt, enough for an active peach-faced (though if I can afford...

    Advice on a Conure

    Hi, new member here. I will be getting my first Conure hopefully soon. I've been debating back and forth between a Green Cheek or a Sun Conure. Even though they are known to be louder, I really love Sun Conures, and if I'm going to make a 30 year investment in a bird, I think I should get my...

    cage bar spacing

    Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum; I'm a new sun conure mom! I have a smaller cage but someone gave me a large cage, 3 feet X 4 feet X 5 feet and the bar spacing is one inch. Is that too big for a sun conure? I don't want to risk her head getting stuck in the bars if that's a possibility...
