is this good for small birds

I would check with your vet because I am not sure if it should be used on birds. It is an excellent quality item with a low and high speed.

Please don't use this for small birds. Use a course nail file for them. The only bird I MIGHT recommend this for is a macaw... All others can be trained very patiently with a regular/salon type course fingernail file.

No, it's just for the smaller birds. The problem I have with this feeder is the seed gets wet way to easy when it rains and then clogs up the works. I spend way to much time cleaning the darn thing out. It needs a rain top on it.

No, mainly for small birds like tit mouse, chickadee , some Downey woodpecker.

It would probably be on the small side, but would do in a pinch. My real concern would be that it would not be strong enough. The larger parrots could probably mangle the relatively thin bars of this cage if they wanted to.

No I would not recommend this for buddies. The smallest bird I would put it it would be a cockatiel. I do believe that this company does make a smaller spacing bars cage for your needs. The cage is great and made very well. Good luck shopping, hope this helped.

Well, not sure what you mean by "small", but if you're talking newly-hatched to a few weeks old, we've found this one to work quite well for us over the last couple of years: http://www.amazon.com/Miller-Manufacturing-806RED-1-Quart-Feeder/dp/B001D1KXGQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417563659&sr=8-2&keywords=chick+feeder Hope this helps answer your question! :)

It would be a bit small and possibly light for that size bird. We have this for our African Grey and she's perfectly comfortable with it. Though, it does move when she exercises her wings by flapping. She's also around 9 inches from head to tail feathers. I would go with something heavier unless you were going to weight the bottom.

You may have to get smaller perches for this play stand (for smaller birds). This is perfect for my cockatoo.2 or even 3 cockatiels should love this!!

No. Best for 1, maaaaybe 2 medium birds, short term. My african grey uses it when we're on trips of up to 4 weeks in our RV, but she's out on perches (atop the cage or elsewhere) a LOT of the time.

I personally have not seen any grackles on this feeder. I did see a morning dove actually get on the feeder and get some seed. It didn't stay for long though and took up nearly the entire feeder. I saw it once and then it never came back. The smaller birds definitely like feeder better. They fight over it all the time and it is funny to watch.

I have a Jenday Conure and he loves it. Yes it is for a bit bigger birds but Conures as they grow like to be acrobats and when you are not home they entertain themselves by climbing around.

Due to the small perches only sparrows and smaller birds feed. The feeder needs to be redesigned. The cage catches on the upper lip. It does not pevent squirrel as they stand on the bottom lip and push the cage up. It may have been desiged by someone who does not feed birds or the item was not field tested. I send the compaany an e-mail but I never heard from them.

We use it for two small parakeets. I believe it would be small and uncomfortable for your cockatiel.

It is great for small birds. We feed and water about 100 wild birds each day. Mostly wrens and other small birds, some doves, hummingbirds, crows, and pigeons. They all have been seen in the bird bath.

It's hard to say; on the website they say that the smallest size (petite) is for cockatiels or large parakeets, but then they show a picture of a small parakeet (budgie) using the petite size and the caption says "the small size of this 3 inch parakeet is perfect for the petite size leash" ... so, I guess you can kind of use it if you can get your bird to stay still. I would recommend ramping up and letting them see you with it one day, then put it near them another day, then let them touch it, etc. - the reason being they can freak out the first time because it's not a natural thing and in nature that grabbing sensation usually means danger. But they usually become very appreciative after the first few "outings" and calm down pretty quickly and come to enjoy it. So you can give it a try. On my cockatiels the rule is "loose enough" to fit a pointer finger in-between the leash and chest (they will hyperventilate at first when going outside), so you may want to adjust it to a pinky degree of separation. Also practice with the video and a stuffed bird or even some lettuce or something definitely helps - your bird will at first resist and then calm down and give you a window ... but if you don't seem to know what you're doing they'll try to run. So I would say go for it, but practice first so your bird has confidence in you and get it adjusted to the leash gradually and maybe make it even a play toy first. Good luck, and keep the end result in mind - well worth it!

Yes. It's the perfect size bird bath for all small birds like parakeet, finch, canaries, any similar sized birds. Your bird may be a little weary of it at first, until he/she realizes what it is, unless your bird is already adjusted to using a similar bird bath such as this one.

Yes I think it would be good for a parrot. I have 2canaries in mine but it is a nice size and strong.
