Need help narrowing it down to one cage, please. If you have any suggestions on other cages the max. room I have is 24"l x 24"w. If you have either of these cages, would you please post pictures? Thank you!

I have seen various posts on her that the open tops can be quite dangerous. From my memory, the issue is they can suddenly slam down possibly pinching or trapping a little one. I done know why it happens, maybe the birds get fiddling with latches or something, which seems certainly possible to me. I always liked playtop models because it seems to just add to thei space and you are getting more cage per $ and footprint.

and welcome to the forum! Hope you enjoy being part of it.

As Katy said above, open top cages can be dangerous.

#3 is just way too small (in my opinion) for a parrotlet (they are very active).

I don't have experience with the Vision cages, but I believe a lot of people on here do not like them.

Is there anywhere else you could put the cage so you have space for a larger cage? Parrotlets are very active little guys.

My guy has this one EZ Care Dometop Flight Cage for Small Birds, Small Bird Cages for Canaries, Finches, & Parakeets for Sale Online | PetSolutions and uses every inch of it - I honestly wish it was even bigger.
