Cage recommendation for cockatiel

[Safamirza🤍]

Hello! 👋 I have a male cockatiel named Kiko who is 1 year old.

I was hoping if someone can recommend a good and sturdy cage for him. I am interested in upgrading his cage

I don’t know exactly how much his current cage is but I think it could be bigger. We decided to buy Kiko a big flight cage once he has learned to fly better and his flight feathers come back (because he was clipped when we got him.) he has definitely gotten more confident and better at flying. Although he is outside of his cage for the whole day, I still think a bigger cage is good for if we ever have to go somewhere for a day, so he can at least fly/play around in his cage.

I would also like to set up some bigger toys and perches inside his cage, Al thought he never really gives any kind of toys any attention. (But I want him to!)

Ideally, I would prefer a cage that is just big enough for him because we have a limited space where his cage currently is, and preferably a white cage (but it doesn’t matter if it’s black.)

I have tried looking for a cage myself on Kijiji or Amazon but apparently some cages online have a dangerous coating on the bars which is unsafe to consume and I don’t know how much space there should be in between each bar. If someone can suggest a good quality, budget friendly cage that would be really appreciated! Or if someone knows of a store where we can go and buy a cage? Somewhere in Kitchener/Waterloo - Milton/Mississauga in Ontario, Canada.

Thanks for reading, take care!

What is your budget? What dimensions (length x width x height) are you thinking about? I have bought quite a few excellent cages on Amazon (24x18x24 plus stand) for under $100 that had stands with wheels that I'd recommend but I don't know what size you have in mind.

How about 32x18x36h (64 inches high including the rolling stand) for $89 in white.

Budget would be under $200 and as for dimensions, the bigger the better or the ideal size for a single cockatiel-sized bird. (24’ long by 18’ wide by 24 I think?- or is that too small?)

That would be great! Can you provide me with a link please?

Sorry, but can you please share the link to the specific cage you described? I cannot find the exact product on Amazon.

Yes. That's the cage I was looking at for a cockatiel. It also comes in white. Great size and great price with a stand, too.

A few years back, I lost my cockatiel who'd been with me for 28 years. At some point I will have another cockatiel, and when I do, he will have this cage:

It's an HQ cage (Wayfair "rebrands" everything they sell). I have these exact same feeder doors on my Red Bellied's 32x23 HQ dome top cage and they are amazing, and I love the flip down "porch". Great size, and 1/2" bar spacing. It's cage perfection.

This is a great cage. I really like the horizontal bars because parrots have an easier time climbing them.
