Is the bar spacing on this cage okay for a pigeon?

It looks like a little smaller than a dog crate bar spacing, which many people use for pigeon and dove enclosures. Do you guys think it's just right or too big?

Squib,

I've rehabbed doves (close to pigeon size) and they can get the head locked up in that wide of a space. From what I know doves are nervous.

So I would say no.

Oh ok, thanks for your answer, but it's a good thing I found a new cage with normal bar spacing. It's a nice size for one pigeon, so it's all good :)
