Could this be used for a bird such as Timneh African Grey? Or is it not sturdy enough?

The bar spacing on the F050 is only a 1/2 inch apart which would probably be uncomfortable for a parrot the size of an African Grey to hold on to or climb. The wire thickness is also quite thin so I wouldn't be surprised if it bent from the weight of the bird climbing or beak pressure. Although this cage is quite spacious inside, you're right in thinking that it might not be sturdy enough for a Grey. We have a double yellow headed amazon in our family and this cage probably wouldn't last a day with her!

The interior space would be great for an active African Grey, but the gauge size of the bars are more appropriate for love birds, parakeets and finches, or perhaps a cockatiel or conure. There are a few small hinged doors as well as doors that slide up and down. African Greys are so intelligent, I'm sure they could easily figure out how to open these and get out. I would say go for a cage with thicker bars and doors that close securely.

Yes.........But it not quite sturdy enough. I have average size bird dogs they weigh about 75 pounds and when left alone in the car they went through the barrier simply bending and spreading the ends.

Although an African Grey would fit inside this cage, the spacing of the wires, the construction of the cage, and the gauge of the wire all would be inadequate for the African Grey - you need a more sturdy cage than this for that type of larger parrot. This cage is for small birds, like finches, parakeets, lovebirds, parrotlets, cockatiels. I think an African Grey could rip this cage apart if it had a mind to do so.

I would not recommend this cage for a grey, the cage just is too lightweight for a bird that size. I would be concerned of toes or other body parts getting stuck in the bar spacing. Also a bird of that size would expect to be able to separate the vertical bars from the horizontal bars. I would look for something 36" wide 24" deep with 5/8-3/4" bar spacing.

No, this would be too small. I have a Senegal parrot that is about 7" and it is just about the right size for her. Some website said that congo African greys get to be around 13" tall, so based on that, this would be much too small. Bigger birds have bigger feet, which would be my main reason for saying that.

I wouldn't rate it at either extreme - more along the lines of in the middle gauge - it is sturdy enough to hold any bird I can think of. The only issue I have with it is the way it sits on the stand - not secure and prone to tip over

Its pretty good size but not sure as they are pretty big birds. A rather small size one probably could use it.

Hi Keith, An adult African Grey is a fairly large bird, I think. My cockatiel, I feel, fits nicely. I would imagine your friend would fit, but feel rather cramped.

Might be a stretch. This is a well built feeder but I don't know it it is heavy duty enough for parrots or other birds that tend to chew. A good size bird may also have trouble reaching the seed. They definitely wouldn't fit on the perches. This feeder is best suited to house finches and other small birds.

I got an acrylic cage for my Rosie and Citron, the cage you asked about it will not work for a grey. Its not really tall enough. I got the one you asked about a long while ago to use for my Conure

Yes, too small for African Grey. My suggestion is get a bigger bird bath or get a smaller bird like parakette.

We use ours for Mr. Utley, an African Grey. He travels to the beach most days in it. We had a friend modify the perch as the wooden dowel that comes with it is too small for his talons.

Yes! I bought this for my African Grey last year and she seems to really enjoy it. When she's out she likes to go and play on the top of the cage. The bowls that came with it were a bit small so I did order larger bowls and i use the bowls that came with it for her fruits, etc.

Yes it would be suitable. I have even small softbills using it. The only thing is: You got to sand down the acrylic perch inside of the feeder to make it more secure for pearching, because it is too slippery for the birds.

You don't have to attach it. We did just to see what would happen. It is not very sturdy but my Macaw prefers being up on that rather than the perch. It probably isn't wide enough for the grey to land on.

I have Lovebirds; they drink from it instead of bathing. I mist them with a spray bottle. An African gray parrot might be a bit big. We also have a McCall which I wouldn't dare put near him because it's not sturdy enough. Good luck!!

Yes, we have an African Grey and the size is ideal. However, the perch is made of a soft wood rather than manzanita and our bird has certainly "whittled" that down.
