Most of the appropriate sized cages with feeder doors have 3/4th bar spacing, which isn't as ideal as 1/2 but can be manageable.
Maybe this?: A&E Cage Company 32" X 23" Play Top Bird Cage in Black | Petco Store
Another good cage with feeder doors is this one, many people on AA use it: You & Me Standing Parrot Cage | Petco Store

I think the you&me cage looks nice.But I can't find the bar spacing and the dimensions for it.
I believe the dimensions are about the same as a standard flight, but the depth is more towards 30inches. Bar spacing doesn't seem to much more then 1/2, so maybe 5/8 I'd guess. I'll try to look for a website that says the exact dimensions. 
Thanks,trying to look for one too.I believe the dimensions are about the same as a standard flight, but the depth is more towards 30inches. Bar spacing doesn't seem to much more then 1/2, so maybe 5/8 I'd guess. I'll try to look for a website that says the exact dimensions.
A thread on AA quite a while back had the dimensions and bar space:

Thank you so much!
No problem, hope the cage works out for you.
The only main complaint with that cage is that because of the depth, it makes it hard to move through standard doorways. So that could be a factor to keep in mind if you decide on this one.

That's sad
I hope you find the cage your looking for still.
Is one like the A&E one I posted above an option? It has feeder doors.
I'm sure you can find that one on Amazon, and they ship to Canada.

Do you have a Petco in Canada or do they ship there? They are currently having a sale on cages. The sale ends today although, based on past experience with them, they may continue discounting cages and other items with another sale. I do know, though, that the exchange rate is not the best right now.
I think some product do and some don't,guess I will wait.
There are Petcos in Canada. The one here does not carry any cage bigger than the large Vision model. The sale certainly wouldn't carry over.
Your best bet is finding something second hand. I got a practically brand new Avian Adventures Loro from a local SPCA.
So my Opinion for what it is worth is the A&E cage. I have three A & E cages and I have gotten mine from a Canadian Store. Parrotdise perch. They are fantastic! Bird Lovers. I have wanted a Quaker for a while ever since I almost purchased one 10yrs ago. I love them. Quakers can be territorial, well they are actually known for it, but you also have to be able to set boundaries when feeding. That is something you have to work out with your own bird. The problem with the play top is that, that also is part of their cage and it can be impossible to have out of cage time and place them back in their cage when it is attached as they are more likely to defend a play top area on top of their cage then a separate play space. I have always been told a play space away from their home cage is more preferred as long as the play space is in a communal area when the bird doesn't feel left out.
here is a link to their store and the recommendations of cages by species I hit Quaker for you. Cages - Products

Here is my flight Single A&E which currently has my two Linnies..
Here is My double stack flight which has my parrotlet in the top and the bottom remains empty
and my A&E Victorian which houses my Rose Crown Conure... All of these cages have been perfect!
oh and I use these
ceramic dishes for food in my flight cages and Stainless steel for water and in the victorian I use the stainless steel ones they came with.
(The dishes in the image for me are extra... I bought a size bigger then my usual 8oz, I think these are 14oz and they were too big I wanted them for the Victorian, they didn't fit so I am holding onto them if i ever get a larger bird I have two dishes ready!)
