what is the bar spacing for this cage? is it safe for a parakeet?

yes, I have 4 parakeets in the cage. I think there is a better cage for parakeets though. look at the timbertown double cage. it is wide, and the birds love to fly back and forth in it.

I have two cockatiels and a parakeet that reside in the cage. It works perfectly. I have added limbs from PetSmart and the birds love it. It is like a little tree for them with extra perches. The grating does not cause any harm to small birds.

I haven't put it together yet, but I took out some of the parts to measure the spacing for rats I'll be getting soon... The bars I checked are JUST under 1/2 inch spacing. I hope that helps :)

Agree with the other answers. Bars on this cage are a little over 1" apart. I think most people would recommend no larger than 1/2" bar spacing for sugar gliders. You wouldn't want to risk them escaping, or worse, getting stuck and injuring themselves.

Depending on the size of you conures, there is plenty of room for exercise. Not free flying like in an aviery, but room to spread wings and stretch out. I don't know the exact thickness but it's very sturdy. The bars are set close so that the smaller parrots don't get hurt. It's a good quality cage. We're very happy with it. We have a cockatiel in ours and he only uses the upper hall of the cage. I hope this is useful to you.

Not sure how to measure the bars, but they are the same as my birds regular cage. he is a 2 year old Alexandrine Parakeet. They are the large cousins of the Indian ring neck parrott. he is not tiny. and his beack is a huge crab claw. I use this cage for travel and car. He goes on weekends to stay w friends in it. This is by far the sturdiest and safest travel cage out there. I went through several before finding this one. Really great quality. I am so pleased to have such a nice cage!

My cage is about the same size you should have no problem. It all depends on the weight of your bird. I have 4 parakeets and it works very well.

The gap is the same as the gap inbetween the bars. I have my parrotlet in this cage and she has been in this cage for more then a year. I have not had any issues at all.

As they need a lot of room, I wouldn't recommend it. It's the perfect size for one parakeet.

I have a parakeet also and I haven't had a problem with safety. I had a cage before this one, and my parakeet got out because the bars were 1" apart. This cage has "5/8" bars so I don't believe that he/she would get stuck between them or get out. I hope this helps. :-)

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.

Personally, i don't think this cage is large enough for 4 parakeets. My granddaughter has one cockateel in it and she uses all the room. This bird is only slightly larger than your budgie birds.

Spacing 3/4 inches. The diameter about 1/8 inches. If you are purchasing the cage for an Amazon parrot or smaller it is good. Anything larger and you will need heavier bars. I have a yellow headed Amazon and he loves this cage. I did however remove the seed guards, they took up too much space and I really didn't need them.

The spacing is good. We bought this cage in December for a parrotlet. There has been no issue with the spacing of the bars. He is so little and it is a big cage, but he gets around great. The only thing we did was put a pad on the bottom because he fell several times until he got used to all the space between perches. It's not necessary now, but we still have it because he like to go down to the bottom and run around and it would be difficult with the bottom bars since he has such tiny feet. We are very happy with the cage and all the room it allows for lots of toys :)

The cage will come off its stand but it is a very large case. I would hesitate to purchase this case if you are going to be transporting your birds regularly. Also, I'm not sure what type of bird you have but... The description was sort of misleading. I purchased this case for my 4 parakeets. The description says that it is for parakeets but the bar spacing is WAY to wide. Smaller birds could either get out or even worse get their heads caught and kill themselves...its happened before and I don't want anyone to go through that loss.

The bars have 1/2" spacing all around. A great flight cage with many perch, food and hanging toy options and plenty of room for our 4 budgies. Well made.

I measured the bars so I could give an accurate answer: Between bars = 1.6 cm - From Center of one bar to the center of next bar = 1.9 cmI hope this helps. This is a good cage! We aren't using our's b/c we have a Moluccan Cockatoo and she's a giant.

You can definitely house an African grey in this cage. The bars are not too wide at all. I use this one for my green winged macaw. I have a smaller version with an open top for my African Grey.
