Hi Mr Azz

I'm also from Brisbane, and I have an Alexandrine, named Max.. I don't know if he's a male of female.

Max loves to push his head into things, like my hands, his toys - he nearly hung himself, because he had some rings in his cage, and couldn't get his head back out.

I had a quaker in a cage with a fairly large gap from the bottom grate to the first horizontal bars.. He could stick his head through that, but easily get it back in... What I didn't count on was, that a small rat could also get in through that cap from the outside (had some wild rats in here after the floods).. Shrek had a fight with the rat, and unfortunately had to be put down...

Because of what happened with Shrek, Max's cage have got 10mm bar spacing.

Welcome and congrats on the Alexandrines, I've wanted one for years. Just make sure they can't get they're heads caught in between the bars and you should be fine.

That's pretty big bar spacing. I know Alex's are bigger than, say, conures, but you will have to judge if they can get their heads stuck in it. If you think they might, I'd go for a different cage.
