*For Finches & Canaries the safest bet is to stay with 1/2" bar spacing, 5/8" is too large for some Finches/Canaries if they are on the smaller side for their respective species

Some important things to consider when shopping for a cage:

  • The bigger the better, as long as the spacing between the bars is narrow enough to prevent injury to your bird in the event your bird tries to escape.

  • Your bird's head should not be able to fit in between the bars.
  • The door needs to be large enough to comfortably put your hand through, catch the bird, pull out the bird, and put the bird back in its cage.
  • The latch/lock on the cage door needs to be escape-proof, since the bird is going to have a lot of time to try to figure out a way to open it.

If you buy your bird from a pet shop or bird specialty shop, the size of cage they'll recommend will probably be the minimum size for that species/breed of bird. Your bird will be much happier & healthier with a larger cage.
