Can I Use a Finch Cage for Another Bird?

Last Updated on February 16, 2023 by Mitch Rezman

Gloria W. would like to know:

My female 3 yr old bird seems afraid of heights.

I have bought her 3 different cages as she’s aged and the latest is maybe 20 long 18 wide and 30 high.

Would a flight cage for finches be ok for her?

I’m looking at one 30″ long 18″ wide and 18″ tall.

No room for a BIG cage

Thanks

Dear Gloria

What kind of bird are you trying to house?

As long as she is a small to small medium-sized bird (conure, caique, ringneck, cockatiel, budgie, etc) then yes a cage suitable for finches would work.

Cages for small birds tend to be wire, not wrought iron, and the typical bar spacing would be 1/2″, all would be fine.

Thank you so much.

Yes, parakeet.
