Cage sizing question for ARN

[Cottonoid]

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 so small compared to the Moustache Parakeet and Indian Ringnecks I met last weekend, and even seems a smidge smaller than the cockatiel that is boarding near his cage at the rescue. His head seems bigger than a cockatiel but with him being mostly naked and not fluffy I am second guessing my judgment.

He's doing well navigating his current (short) cage with 1/2" all-vertical-bars spacing so I probably should just stick with that - but that means the overall width and depth available on the market is smaller.

I do have a pretty big budget for a cage (I've been earmarking what I spent on my old man doggo's care in his last months) so I'm open to anything! Preferably white or light colored so, ok, not *anything* 😆

I'd say conure/tiel bar spacing.

Thank you! My "system" for thinking I'd figured this out was keeping a million tabs open on my phone and that backfired lol

It's soooo hard to decide which tabs to delete!

Isn't it?!? I have no problem shutting down Netflix shows I don't finish, or ignoring food in the breakroom at work, but silent little internet tabs don't forget about meeeeee just sitting in the phone abyss, waiting.....
