The size is good but it has galvanized mesh. This would need to be scrubbed to remove the zinc. I don't remember what you scrub it with. I am assuming that you are in Australia because of the link. @Shezbug @AussieBird any better alternatives in Australia?

The trouble with galvanized mesh is that little balls of galvanized metal can from in the joints and parrots can find these as they crawl around the mesh work. Curious beaks will chew them off and they might accidentally (or on purpose) be swallowed, which can cause zinc poisoning. That's why galvanized is fine for chickens and finches since they don't use their beak to climb and pry. Love that you're aviary hunting though and hope you find a good one for your sunny flock. :)
