Bird Cage?

Hi Everyone
ive been wanting to buy my two cockatiels a new cage as im moving house soon and needed a smaller cage.
I grabbed a bargain at Wilkos today with 75% off it, so got the cage for £5.50

I just want to check whether the cage is going to be okay for the two tiels, i will have them out most of the time i am home so hoping it will be okay for them.

The size of the cage is 14 Inches by 24 inches.
Here is a photo

What do you think? Kind regards, Stacey xxx

Re: Bird Cage?

my cockatiels cage is twice the size of that one, we went in a pet shop at just the right time,,,, it was on offer cos the base was cracked quite bad should have been £90 we paid £25,,,,, and in my personal opinion its just big enought for him two would be squished in it cos he is manny n likes his space

Re: Bird Cage?

I used to work in a pet and aquatic shop,as the bars are vertical it is a canary cage also the feeders wouldn't be suitable for a cockatiel.
i would reccomend this type of cage for canaries or finches..

Re: Bird Cage?

Also the perches are too thin,and the swing too small, again because it would better suit small birds.

Re: Bird Cage?

Sorry but that cage is not fit for any bird - its small and not suitable housing for 2 teils!!!
Why have the laws not done anything about bird cages and fish bowls??? They sell both of these that are far too small to house birds or fish.
I have a huge cage for my Parrot obviously there is a difference in size of the birds but the bigger the cage the better

Re: Bird Cage?

Good on ya - get a bigger cage - sometimes on adtrader they sell second hand cages at good prices, with a disinfectant wash and rinse they are good as new Might get a bargain...or look on ebay close to where you live I have seen bird cages sold on there too
