Posted November 20, 200816 yr I have been given a new cage and need to know if a bar spacing of 1.3 cm or 13mm is o.k? Thanks, Trish.
November 20, 200816 yr 1.2cm/ 1/2 inch is recomended... so 1.3cm should be fine. I'd be giving it a good scrub down with vinegar and hot water... and then a rinse and dry in the sun. Do you have a photo?
November 20, 200816 yr Author Here it is, it was from the reject shop mum bought it for me and it was $125 reduced to $99 I think a catalogue special for christmas. I am still in the process of putting it together
November 20, 200816 yr Oh..... that one looks too big That is a Cockatiel & Quaker sized cage. I would say the bar spacing is too wide

November 20, 200816 yr Measure your bar spacing again. I count 29 bar spacings (including one each for the tubular steel on each end) over a 45cm width equals 1.55cm per spacing - too wide

November 20, 200816 yr Did you check the spacing on the edges of the little wire panels on the bottom section (between the side of the cage and the first wire heading towards the door) it looks wider there (could just be the photo though)

P.S. Thanks for helping everyone. :DI just went over the whole cage and there is one area that is 1.8 cm. It is only in one spot but I wont chance it on my budgies. Definately for Tiels or bigger. I love masked lovebirds, would they be o.k. in here?
