I bought a Vision plastic breeding box, 9"x6"x7" height--will this "go" with it okay? I am new to breeding budgies, and want to be sure it goes well.

I found, on ordering these cages, that the measurements belie the capacity to use them for budgies. They might be suitable for finches, but they're simply way too small for budgies to nest comfortably. On top of that, one of these cages arrived with an ill-fitted top grate. After much frustration with these cheaply-made cages I gave them (literally gave them) away to someone with finches because I couldn't stand having them around. A few months ago I purchased two 'Prevue Pet Products F075' cages and they're much sturdier, have more space, and are *much* easier to clean. They're pricier, but I've never had a nicer breeder stack and plan to purchase two more within the next six months.

I think this cage is way too big for parakeets. I would go with something with smaller bars and bar spacing. :)

Yes, I believe it would. I am currently using mine for my two zebra finches and they both climb in it together at the same time. I have one on order for my 2 budgies. I can't believe the difference it's made in seed scatter.

Hi Ms Tiggy! Im not sure how to meassure the size cause they come in different sizes. Mine is medium and a cockatiel would love it. Spacious and good perch. Mesh? Not sure what that is. I am very happy with my buy and the quality is good. Hope it helps:)

I had just one Parrotlet in there and it was really roomy for him. I think you could fit 4 budgies, but I guess it depends on how much room they require. I'm not really familiar with that species of bird. I honestly probably wouldn't put more than 2 though.

I starter looking for imagen of your pet before giving you an answer, and I believe it will be perfect. Has a good height and length for several toys as he needs room to move around and exercise. I use the cage for finches an I love it.

Hey no this was smaller than I expected even for my green cheek. Its so narrow his tail looks to big for it lol theres one for $49 on here thats similar but wider advertised as a cockatiel cage but even then if you want more than 2 perches and toys this is a terrible idea. He cant take the bowls out if he tried because theyre hooked in from the outside but he could pull them upwards from the inside which would put them at a slant & spill some of the contents. When he lets go theyd fall back in place. Hope this helps !

The smallest size would be OK for a budgie, but I always buy the largest size I can get because I know my cockatiels are going to be at it and chew the different pucks to bits quite quickly. My budgies do chew on them, but usually infrequently.

no difference in size and it is a great cage. I love mine and it is so pretty with parakeets in it. Hope i helped a little

My "mating pair" never actually mated and have since passed away. One seemed to have some serious genetic problems. I bought the vision breeding box in the hope that they would use it. But I could never even get either bird to go inside. My birds never laid eggs.

It should be ok, the spacing is 5/8 inches. I have parakeets in mine and they love it.

I just checked and mine is 5-6" so I think 7" will be a stretch= not enough. However, I think it's such a beautiful flowerbox I'd find a way to rig it up with a part from a hardware store (or easier yet= some picture framing wire??) Also if you go to the hdwe. store replace the wingnuts & screws with stainless steel as mine started rusting immediately. I bought 4 of these and they're high-quality= enjoyable!!

Yes, I have a Conure and it should be similiar in size to the Budgie. It make take a day or two for your bird to get familiar with it and comfortable using it.

Gosh I don't remember! I'm sorry! But the box comes flat with all the panels stacked inside. I'd like to guess its 30 inches wide and 48 inches height. It's a great cage and my conures love it. Plenty of room for each of them! Let me know if you'd like me to send you pictures!

Yes- it's more sized for a budgie- and even my exhibition sized barely gets his tail feathers in. Ha! I think a mess is inevitable :) Maybe your cockatoo would enjoy showers? They make perches for them and apparently some think it's great.

Your eclectus is at least twice the size as my bird. I use this cage at work for my bird but let him fly around every 3 hours. My bird is slightly cramped but can play and do flips and hang from his toys. Your bird will fit but will not be able to do much. You would also have to put the perch close to the floor of the cage so your bird has space above his head. That's probably more info than you need but it should help you make a decision. In my humble opinion if the eclectus is mainly out of the cage then MAYBE this cage will work. But your bird will be cramped. This cage is great for exactly what you want to do but really only if the bird is small.Good luck. Your eclectus is at least twice the size as my bird.

The instructions are very vague but first start off building the caster base then move on to putting the sides together, then place the inside grate before you put the top on. You may require pliers and a second pair of hands to make sure the space between the sides and the top are not too wide. I use the cage for a single Green Check Conure who is about 8'', I would gamble to say that yes the two Budgies will fit.
