xSarahx Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 iam buying my dad a TAG for his birthday and was wondering if this is big enough for him?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extra-Large-Parrot-cage-BNIB-Bird-cage-avairy-breeding-Wheel-102-X-79-X-188-cm-/320762836356?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Birds&hash=item4aaef47584#ht_5241wt_1101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWIX Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 102 X 79 X 188 cm is almost the size of DJ's cage, and he is very happy. He doesn't even use the lower part, always playing on the top. I guess it will be great for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywings Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 It looks "Greyt" I always say get the biggest cage you can almost afford, then stuff it with toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 From the link: Interior dimensions: approx 80 X 57.5 X 93cm That's a bit smaller than Ellie's cage (Ellie is also a TAG). Mine, from King's Cages, has inside dimensions of, roughly, 81 cm W x 64 cm D (32" W x 25" D). The bar spacing is 2.4 cm (0.94"). It seems that most recommendations for TAGs is to have a bar spacing of 3/4" (1.9 cm). The concern is that the TAG will stick its head through and not be able to get it out. I would prefer bigger, but I'm not sure where I would put a bigger cage! Of course, most days Ellie doesn't spend the whole day in her cage, so it isn't as critical.

Doug Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I can't make any definitive statements as I am a new grey owner. I'm sure a lot of people have successfully kept TAGs in cages with 1" spacing. Of course, I haven't died in a car crash yet, but that doesn't mean that I am a safe driver... (To quote financial planners, "Past performance is no indication of future results"...) Dave is dead set against 1" spacing on cages for TAGs: http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?193275-Help-with-bar-spacing.&p=231005&viewfull=1#post231005 Other people recommend 3/4" to 1" for TAGs.
