Is this good enough?

Okay I have a pair of Zebbies in a somewhat medium sized cage, which I think is kinda tight. I don't honestly know the dimensions of the cage, but its medium sized. I plan on getting them a new cage a big one on a stand. :mrgreen: It's called the New-Bird-Parrot-Cage-Chinchilla-Cockatiel-Conure-Large. It is somewhat big, the dimensions are 32 inches wide, 18 Diameter, and 64 tall. I was going to put my Zebbies in there, and possibly? adding a couple Society finches. Or a couple other Zebbies. How many birds can this cage hold, and if you guys could possibly look it up? Its on ebay for 89.99. Thanks. I just want my birds to be comfortable, and somehow I convinced my mom a bigger cage haha. :lol:

Hey... how are your eggs doing??? Going on eBay to check out the flight now. As long as the bar spacing is 1/2" or less, you should be ok.

Societies&Zebras finches don't need a cage that tall, they aren't parrots. And since its a parrot cage, the bars may be too wide. I would consider getting a wider flight cage, instead of going crazy with height.

Is your space large enough for 60 inches wide? You can get the preview double flight, and you can fit like 8 birds in it. I think it's in the 1 hundreds though

Glad to hear your eggs are still doing well :) This cage is very nice!!! I have one that is very similar in white and I bought it on eBay too. I tried to find information of the bar spacing for yours, but it isn't listed. There's a place for you to ask the seller questions... so I would definitely suggest you ask what the bar spacing is before buying it. As far as the NUMBER of birds to house in this cage...Zebras make this answer difficult ;) I had 5 societies living in mine, but they are a very passive species. I'm also thinking about your nest of eggs and wondering if you will be keeping or rehoming your juveniles, once they're weaned? I hope I am not confusing you...I just don't want to give you the wrong advice and then you're stuck with multiple cages because they can't live together peacefully,

delray...the cage he's looking at on eBay is 36" H, just like the white one I had my societies in, The stand is what makes the set up 64" Tall. The heights will vary based on the height of the cart or stand. The cage itself is 36" high. It is a very nice size flight :)

Awesome! It's a great deal! This way, you keep the parents, and then in the other section a species of your choice. !!
