Breeding cages
I was wondering if 30x18x18 cages make adequate breeder cages for most finch species. I was looking into buying a number of cages that size and wanted to make sure that they would be a good choice for breeding. I have several larger cages to use for resting and would use those when needed.

Re: Breeding cages
30 in breeding cages are perfect. What kind of finches do you have?

Re: Breeding cages
30x18x18 is good for most but it's really going to depend on the finch. What were you thinking about breeding?

Re: Breeding cages
Right now it would be Gouldians and Owls with Red Bishops and Cuban Melodious soon to follow.

Re: Breeding cages
If you get divided cages it will make catching the birds much easier....I am so glad I bought the divided cages....
