Could each bird on either side reach the feet of the other to bite them or touch beaks in this cage if the birds were climbing on the divider?

Yes of course they can bite if they are on the divider. But my birds rarely climb on the divider. I have a perch close to divider on both sides and they sit on their perches taking to each other. At some point I will pull the divider out and let them mate. Hopefully they will be ready when I do :-)

Yes, since I am using this as a breeding cage, I cut a piece of veneer skin (thin enough) and slid it in with the divider. Without it the birds had physical and visual contact. Hope this helps. Nicole

Yes, I have parrotlets and they can reach each other. Therefore, I made solid dividers from card board by tracing the divider and cutting it to size.
201825
Yes, the divider that ships with the cage is grated iron. I recommend just going to Home Depot and getting a pane of Plexiglass, and cutting it down to the correct divider size to solve this.
201826
Yes they could touch beaks and reach feet. Slight modification would take care of this if it was a problem

Depends on the size of your birds. The spacing on all walls, including the divider is 1/2 inch. Our canaries have never attempted to bite or touch beaks through the divider, although they could if they wanted to. (Note: they have engaged in this behavior when in the same cage... but not through the bars.)

Yes, the divider is the only barrier between the two sides. It is made, like the rest of the cage, of 1/2" X approx. 4" wire. To really keep the birds from interacting, you could slide cardboard, sheet metal or plexiglass, cut to size, into the slot.

This is a nice cage for one bird unless we're talking about something as small as a parakeet. Anything that is the size of a cockatiel or bigger needs the whole cage. Sorry about the delay in responding to your question.

I have a friend using this cage for a pair of cockatiels and it is fine. They can fly within it. I have two of the cages, with 5 parakeets in each and they are not over crowded. I am a middle aged woman, and I can bend the thinnest of the wires with my fingers if I apply quite a lot of force. It hurts my finger tips, but I can flex the wire if I try hard. My neighbor's sun conure is quite a feisty fellow. He lets him self out of his cage and then lets all the other birds out of their cages. Conures are kind of "birds of a different feather." You would be a better judge of your own birds. The cockatiels are content to NOT break out.

My two conures destroyed their ladder toy. And that's exactly what it's designed to do. As I'm learning, birds need to forage and use their beaks as they would do in the wild. This is one of the first toys my birds had in their cage and I need to get another one soon...Don't worry about the metal clips, your bird will not be able to get through with its beak. Enjoy your bird!!

Probably not, I would think birds would rather have a cage that is open with more airflow

yes you can. the bottom of the cage and the tray are seperate from the stand. our birds dig the extra space.

I wouldn't go bigger than a Cockatiel. If it's a small type of conure, then maybe. The bars are on the thin side, so a bigger parrot could damage those. Also the wooden perches might not hold up to the weight of a bigger bird over time.

Yes, there is enough room, if you let them out a couple time a day when you have time. I've got Pacific Parrotlets in my cages and we let them out a couple times each day, although if you miss a day or so it's ok. I think even a cockatiel would be ok, but it would be tight.

Depending on the spacing, I believe they would. When they abut one another it gets too wide, lap them over to work better. It certainly has stopped the birds from nesting.

Yes you can fit fingers through the bars but they would not be able to fit their head through. I have cockatiels in this cage and they love it. Nice size!

Room Wise it should be okay but not sure how birds will interact w/each other. All birds can be a little Snippy sometimes and will seek a quiet corner to rest a little & thats just my obserrvations and reading about Cockatiels. The Budgies I've known, hand raised or not, don't seem to be as sociable to a lot of birds even if they do on outside. Unless these particular birds have been raised together in same cage, with no barriers. Room, think so, good idea don't know but I wouldn't suggest it w/o checking with Aviary Vet first.Good luck!

Definitely not big enough using the divider, but might be if you use one stack as one cage. We're pushing the limits by keeping Parrotlets pairs in them. *we also own a Nanday Conure that's kept in a larger cage*

No, I would not put five birds in this cage, maybe two. I have had the chance to consult with a bird behaviorist and she advised me to have individual cages for each bird, you might be able to put a mated pair together but these cages really aren't big enough for five birds. Just my opinion. Good luck.

I have 2 of these cages and ive had 6 rock doves (pigeons) in each cage. They are roomy. For a parrot, you may need to reinforce the door.

It has a divider you can take out to make it one big cage.I would say yes.Ian using it for budgies

I would not recommend this particular cage for two cockatiels. It's quite a bit small for even one with toys. We have to switch out toys so it's not too crowded, she has a hard time flapping her wings.

You can, but I wouldn't . Because unless u bought them as babies together, they might not get along #1 # 2 Birds can be territorial. I have a English parakeet and he needs that much space on his own. Hope this helps.
