Considering birds..

Ive never had birds before but I now keep looking at my old rat cage and wondering if it would be a good home for a pair of zebra finches!!
It is 37" x 19" x 31" with bar spacing of 14mm. Would this be suitable??
It was rubbish for rats as the doors made it awkard for taming and cleaning shelfs, both of which wouldnt be an issue with finches. I would keep the cage in my bedroom (along with all my houseplants!!), so no access given to my cats and dogs and nice and peaceful/stress free.

I had never thought of having birds before coz of the problems with free flying not mixing with lots of cats, but finches can do fine in a big enough cage to get some exercise, right?? (I must admit I do love to watch sparrows going about their business but a big outdoor cat population means I rarely see a bird now).

Re: Considering birds..

That cage should be ok for zebras, although 12mm would be better...If it's all wire cover part of it to give them privacy.And don't forget a pair of zebras will soon become a lot more

Re: Considering birds..

Thanks!! I suppose it might be worth while fixing some extra mesh to it. It seems to be longer then most of the small bird cages you can buy.

Re: Considering birds..

Finches do great in cages that are more longer,because they prefer to fly lenghtways rather than up and down
