No, this cage is only 18 inches wide (I have it for my budgies)

The double flight? It's roughly 20in by 30in, so yes it is wider (by about 2 inches).

My current cage interior is 22x24x37. Most of my cages have been similar sized - for my current conure and my previous quaker.

This cage is close to that at inside measurements 30.3 x 18.3 x 36.4 (Lxwxh)
I wish the 18 width was longer...

I have this cage for BB, GCC, and I used it for Riti before, Kakariki. Both are smaller that a Quaker but are high energy birds. The cage is 32"x21"x36" ont including the stand 62" with the stand and has 1/2" bar spacing. I find it easier to keep clean than the fancy scroll top one I have for Cheddar, GCC. It's a "Flight Cage" and other companies make ones that are almost the same.

Thanks..if my cage doesn't arrive in time I might have to get a cage at a pet store to use until l the other one gets here..

If all else fails, find a "vacation cage" - something bigger than a carrier that you'd feel okay with your bird being in if he's being boarded or if you take him with you for a week somewhere. That way it's something you can still use later :)

Some of us use a travel/ vacation cage for this type of situation with clean storage when not in use.
Thanks I might have to get one.. (I bought a travel cage, but i might need a little larger temporary house for him..)

It won't switch over until after midnight CST usually. With COVID there are sadly delays all over regardless of carrier :(

The cage arrived yesterday..i put it together by myself (I honestly hope to never put another one together lol)
Everything about the cage was fine, except the little swivel closure (at least thats what it looks like in photos) that keeps the little balcony door at the top of the dome was not there. I sent an email to king cages, and have a zip tie closing it right now.
