Is This Cage Ok?

The Bird Caculator say it should hold only 1 or 2 birds.

But Do you think It would be ok For 3 or 4?

i would think it would easily hold 4 but i would put the perches the othere way round so that the birds fly the long way across the cage and not just up and down..they get more exercise flying the long way

It will be great. I have 4 of the exact same cage that are probably listed on ebay right now under "flight cages". 4 cages for $5.95 and $80.00 shipping.
That's a little over $20.00 a cage

That looks like a 24x16 breeder cage. If your not breeding the birds it will be fine for 4. I have 6 gouldians in one like it right now for Quarintine. They're pretty handy, and fold up when your not useing them.

The link says it is 30x18x18. If so, that is one of the sizes I use for breeding. I actually get the one that can be divided--I rarely ever use the divider, but I like all the extra doors on it--the more I can hang on the outside of the cage, the more room inside for the birds. The bird calculator is the ideal--for breeding, you'd only want one pair in there--but I have often had more than 2 birds in one of those cages. You just have to watch for compatibility. And I never use the perches that come with it. I do like kenny said and put perches at each end to encourage flying. I just cut small branches from the garden.

It would be great for 4 finches. 30" is pretty long. I saw it at Petco. Pretty nice cage and the price is not bad either.

And I agree with Kenny that perches need to be placed the other way.
