That type of cage the bars are very flimsy. I bought one and had to return it as the bars were bending when trying to put in perches.

I love my conures cage. i highliy reccomend it.

I also reccomend these time cages for a parakeet. I have a parrotlet and its a HUGE cage for her size. she loves all the different things she can do.

I also dont reccomend slide up cages. Both my cages have latches. My parrotlet has two slide up areas to add food and water but the door is a latch. In my opinion i just dont like how easily the slide up bars slide down and the flimsyness of them...

All of those are good! i love number 4 i may by that to get another bird :)...but yeah all those are good! i just dont reccomend the number 7 as the bars are just so flimsy. you wont be able to attach perches or heavy toys (like wood toys or ladders etc).you really need to be able to put in perches. i also dont reccomend using the perches cages come with as the only perch. they need different types and shapes of perches. if you use just the one it comes with they have a high risk of getting arthritus in there feet.my conure has 4 perches and my parrotlet has 4 perches as well.

if you cover up with like a blanket one side of the cage until shes/hes a little bigger it will be fine. I have a baby parrotlet and i cover up the back side of her cage so that she feels more safe.

The cage that I recommended to you in the other thread is pretty much the same size as the one you chose right now... You said the one I recommended was too big?
