I have 2 lovebirds that I've been keeping in a tall, but not really wide or deep cage, bar spacing is 1/2". It's fine for them, but I wanted to get a larger cage.
I found a really nice used cage that is a bit shorter, but much wider and deeper. The bars are 3/4" apart, so I looked up on That Pet Place what bar spacing is correct for lovebirds. That site said "no more than 3/4", so I bought the cage. Now I see on here and other places that lovebirds should have bars spaced no more than 5/8".
I'm so upset and worried that I haven't moved my birds into the new cage.

No worries after all!😀 Hubby said the bar spacing on the new cage is 5/8".......I never could read a tape measure correctly!😂

Lol...as long as their heads can’t fit between the bars, you should be fine. We would love to see some pics.

The metric system is much simpler but as I understand it Americans only use it for buying drugs :pinkgrin:

have you look at Reecoupons ([Users must be registered and logged in to view attached photos or hyperlinks])?
I also bought a cage from there and i quite sure you will also find a big cage for your lovebirds.

How crucial is the accuracy of bar spacing for lovebirds, and are there specific consequences if it doesn't meet the recommended measurements?
