Cage Sizing for Finches! 

i like the privacy perches, never thought of that.

Aloha from Hawai’i🌺 You brought a great point. As someone who owns both personal pet finches and breeder finches, I agree with the standards you bring up. I have my society finches in a conure habitat cage (32”h x 24”w x 20”d) 1 pair per cage and they’re very happy to be there. Outside of breeding season, the winger to fly in my main aviary and they’re even happier. Mahalo for your information🤙🏽 Happy Father’s Day!

Nice setup you have good suggestions good work lotta nice bird's. 👍

Happy Fathers Day Jay, our breeding cages are 3ft x 3ft x 3ft for two finches only... we have Strawberries or red avadavat , Ruddy's or Red-billed Fire Finch, Orange Breasted Waxbills, Cinnamons, Black headed Nuns and the good old Zebra's, the Red and Yellow faced Stars two pair each share a 5ft x 4ft x 2ft cage, oh and one White Bengalese female (the male escaped) and one Jacarina female (male escaped), Pair Rosey Bourkes and a Pair Eclectus Parrots. We also have Budgies that breed like rabbits... lol...one large hexagon aviary for some of the budgies and what seems like hundreds of other sizes of cages 🤣with baby budgies and finches... and we live on a small lot... They rule our lives and we love it... Thanks for sharing...

Love this! Space is at a premium in my townhome and I don’t currently have any outdoor options but I’m sure you’ve seen the videos of my birds having free-flight time in my living room. SuperFunBirdyFlyTime, I call it 😂. They’re out of their cages for a couple hours a day, most days. Elliot has been doing really well being cage-free the majority of the time, but might have to change that when his flight feathers come back in. The bourkes are really interesting; their cage is smaller than I’d like for 3, but I didn’t want to have the new little one be off in another cage alone. Tormund and Rhys love their fly time and they get antsy when it’s time to be let out. But they also know where “home” is and will put themselves back in the cage (which is super convenient, it’s not fun to chase them all over the house with a net) when they’re ready to nap or eat. Newton is an odd duck (Bourke) most of the time he’d rather stay in the cage even when the doors are wide open. The cockatiels have a huge cage, and flight time, but most of it the spend Velcroed to me. 😂. My set up definitely wouldn’t work for everyone, especially for families where multiple people are coming and going and opening doors, but it works for us. it helps that I’m home to monitor them and that they’re all gentle species. I don’t know if there’s such a thing as a “perfect” set up, but the goal is to provide the most space and enrichment that you can. Nice shirt! Are you a fireman?
