How do you measure wire spacing?


Wire spacing is measured from the Center of one wire to the Center of the next wire (rather then the space inbetween)

For birds:
  • 3/8" wire spacing is for extra small birds, including finches
  • 1/2" wire spacing is for small birds including parakeets
  • 5/8" wire spacing is for small-medium birds including lovebirds & parrotlets
  • 3/4" wire spacing is for medium birds including cockatiels or conures
  • 1" wire spacing is for Large birds including African Grays & Amazons
  • 1+" wire spacing is for X-Large birds such as Cockatoos and Macaws
