Put all food and water in the floor of the flight for them to have to fly DOWN to get it. Or they will spend all their time on the highest branches and nests. Trustme, my societies would perpetually cram into the highest perch all day long if I didnt place their food on the bottom.

This will give them better wing exercise.

Tish hi there , yep your cage is plenty big enough,

Just a little tip, when positioning the perches try to space them from front to back and at eaither end of the cage rather than place them across the corners if this makes sence , the idea is that your trying to gain as much flying space as poss but at the same time try not to place any perches under each other otherwise birds sitting above will
Excrete onto the birds sitting below,

Also be cautious of not placing food and water pots / dishes directly under the perches for the same reason :mrgreen:

Your cage look very nice and hope you have many hrs watching and learning about yer birds :-BD

I have canaries and what I do is put their chopped fresh food at the bottom of their cages and they are very comfortable going down to eat it. Sometimes before I can even get my hand out of the cage . :shock:

Tish For Society Finches, this is great! This species loves to stay close together, so this size will be perfect.
