Is the bar spacing narrow enough to keep small Finches from getting out?

Yes. I had several pairs of gouldians in mine. I love it but I wish the top was white to reflect the sun/heat.

I don't know much about finches, but I can tell you that the bar spacing is half an inch, or just about enough room to put an adult finger through it. I can't imagine a bird escaping through there.

Yes the bar spacing is the same as a regular bird cage you would find in a petco or patsmart sold for small to medium birds

Yup I have 4 canaries and six finches in it and nobody has ever escaped. Really nice cage

Hi, I only have finches in this cage and I looked up the type of bird you were inquiring about and no I don't think it can break through the bars, the cage is very sturdy.

Yes the mesh is small enough to keep birds out. We've had this in our back yard for over a year and never had any issues.

Yes. The size of the wire mesh around the feeder tube is far too small to allow grackles or anything larger than the smaller hedge birds; chickadee, wren, finch sized birds. I've had to replace the center tube as the plastic died from three years of UV exposure. Not hard to do and a $7 tube from Lowes was an almost perfect fit. I also created a coroplast cover to keep off the rain and discovered it gave some immumity to the smaller birds from a local Kestrel. Zero squirrel access.

The bars are very narrowly spaced. We just got two baby rats after one of our girls died (we now have four females in the cage), and there is no way they can get skinny enough to squeeze through. The space between the bars is probably about 3/8 inch. The cage is very well designed and won't pinch them anywhere either (like in the door). We have been very happy with this cage!

Its no smaller than the gaps between the cage ribs. I have two stacked cages--one with the divider and the other without as a flight cage for my red faced parrot finch. It works perfectly.

There is a spring on the bar the birds lite on so when anything heaver gets on the bar it pulls down and closes the access to the seeds. I have had two of these for a few years. This one I purchased for a Christmas gift for my mom. Even the cheaper ones will close up with to much weight. Watched one try to get into my sisters feeder and it just couldn't do it.

The bar spacing is very close. You shouldn't have a problem with baby rats.

The spacing between the bars is pretty small so I do not believe that a gerbil would be able to squeeze out.

Smaller birds can reach the food. Ie grackles and starlings. Blue birds and full grown cardinals had no luck getting into mine. Sqirrels did shake it a wee bit. Better than any feeders except the No-nos.

I don't see why not. I'd probably have a landing area outside the door so your bird can "step" in. The 3/8s spacing is tighter than you need for a cockatiel though. I'm sure 1/2" is plenty. The smaller spacing is for smaller birds. My Parakeets and Finches use 3/8s, the bigger birds get the 1/2" ones. Also, if your bird is flying around the house a play station on top would be welcome!

The spacing is the same all over, about 1/2 in. Just make sure when you open the doors to get the food/water you close them behind yourself. I have gone to feed/water and left the doors open but pushed to and come back to find my green cheek conure flying toword my head. :)

I agree with oter responses.for large birds you need a cage that has thicker bars that do not bend when you push on one with your finger, and spacing of bars should be wider.I do not have a large bird however.

yes at first when the birds pass by ... but there should be little bird traffic at night .... Once I established mine in the right places , no more bird visitations good luck

This is a beautiful, big cage but the bar spacing is 1-1/2 inches. I wouldn't put a budgie in this cage. I don't think that they could squeeze out but they could get their head through the bars and then not be able to pull it back through. I bought this for my Double Yellowhead. My parrotlets are in a cage with only a 1 inch bar spacing.

No. I put two finches in it but not parakeets. It is awkward to get in and out of too, despite the doors on both sides.

The L02 has approx 1/2 inch bar spacing. You might look into the L12 which is for larger birds
