So, I am getting a lovebird on Saturday. Very excited as it's a species I've never had but always wanted! Anyway, she comes with her own cage, but it's not very big, 16" x 23" x 16" H. I found this used cage on craigslist and it's a nice size, 30" x 18" x 55" and the bar spacing is 1/2".
Do you all think it will be ok for my lovebird? (Rats not included, lol!)4796

From what I read, Lovebirds are active, playful parrots that need a large cage to accommodate all the toys and perches they will need to keep them busy. The larger the cage, the more comfortable it will be for the bird. The minimum size cage for a single lovebird should be 18" long by 18" wide by 18" tall. For a pair of lovebirds, a cage 24" long by 18" wide by 24" tall or larger would be more appropriate. A good cage should have horizontal bars on at least two sides, as hookbills love to climb. Horizontal bars help to make climbing easier. Bar spacing should be no more than 3/4" apart to prevent injury.
