You’ll find play tops, dome tops, flight cages, square, rectangle and round bird cages right here at Bird Cages 4 Less!When purchasing a small pet bird cage, don’t think minimum size, try to size up. “So many people buy the finch-size cages for budgies,” said John Miles a judge for the American Budgerigar Society and a budgie breeder. A budgie needs a cage that is at least 24 by 24 by 24 inches. Miles prefers a flight cage about 3-feet-long to allow the birds to fly around within the cage.
Unfortunately, some finch-sized cages don’t provide enough room for even a finch. Pet finches and canaries often spend most, if not all, of the day in a cage, which means there should be room to fly back and forth in the cage.
For waxbills and canaries, Ian Hinze, a finch expert and former BIRD TALK magazine columnist, recommends a box cage of 4-feet long and 2-feet square for a pair of birds. Then, if you no longer want the birds to breed, you can divide the cage in two and still have room for each individual bird to live comfortably.
When sizing up on cages for all small birds, don’t forget to check the bar spacing. A larger cage may mean larger bar spacing, which isn’t good for tiny heads, toes and beaks. Aviculturist Penny Corbett recalled budgies that broke wings in inappropriate cage bars, and McElveen knows of ’tiels that stuck their heads through 1-inch bar spacing but were unable to pull their heads back in and were strangled.
