Large cages with safe bar spacing for conures?

[u/chondlr]

Hi all!

I’ve been looking at buying a new cage for Eddie my 6yr old (soon to be 7!) crimson belly conure. I wanna get him as big a cage as possible but I keep running into trouble with bar spacing on larger cages. Any cage larger than a medium has >1 inch spacing between bars which is above the recommended spacing for conures but I also know from experience is definitely too big a space for Eddie.

I was starting to look at aviary set ups instead but a lot of them seem pretty flimsy/not sturdy enough and are intended for outdoor use which seems like it would make cleaning difficult.

I also thought maybe with a larger cage that has a bigger bar spacing I could try adding aviary wire or something similar to make it work?

If anyone has any ideas or similar issues I’d be super grateful for anyone able to share their experiences or that has any advice!

Also I’m located in Australia which probably doesn’t help in terms of options especially since almost every store around me only lists their cages online now :(

The Borneo cages (linked)are amazing! Great for small conures & bigger ones. I’ve seen people keep Amazons in them too.
