Cage

[CowardMan]

Hey all, Just wanted to check these cages are okay? Both are similar size and price, the second is a couple CM deeper than the 1st with less height inside, though the website doesn't have the bar spacing size. put the links for them below so people can take a closer look.

I don't know about the specifics, but I did just get a pawhut cage (different model) and it seems very sturdy for the price.

yeah, I think I'm leaning toward the pawhut one, although it's like 5cm less depth it has a lot more vertical space so more room to climb around, and the other one doesn't say it's specifically a bird cage and the bar spacing has me dubious, especially where I know the pawhut one is 1cm bar space which I assume is good for tiels?

I don't know anything about spacing for cockatiels. But one thing to know about the pawhut cage at least the one I have, is that the cage is attached to the base. It is a little harder to clean. But worth it if you can manage. It also came in small pieces with not so perfect picture instructions. I had to match each part to the pictures. I actually laid out all the little bits all over the floor and labeled them with sticky notes. It would have been easier to do with two people.

I agree
I think vertical space will be more used than a little extra floor space

The only downside to a taller cage is that most parrots stick to the top of the cage and ignore the bottom unless you can place food bowls near the bottom. That way, they will use the whole cage .
