Thoughts on this cage

[Pippa!]

I have been cage shopping for my cockatiel lately and I wanted to hear some thoughts on this cage. Is it too small for a single cockatiel?

This has helped me with determining good cage size: Wingspan Info | Natural Inspirations Parrot cages

A cockatiel has an average wingspan of about 19.5 inches. Since that cage is only 16.9 inches deep, they would not be able to fully extend their wings in that direction. Imagine being in a room that you cannot put your arms all the way out in! Then, you still have to add toys, perches, etc....the space quickly dwindles.

I would not personally be comfortable keeping a cockatiel in this long term unless it was solely for sleeping and not for any day time caging.

I’m probably going to go with the cage I have for my other cockatiel. She seems to like it when they visit!

Nice cage!

Keep an eye on the cotton rope perch. It looks like she's been chewing on it. Could cause problems.
