Question
i was wondering if this cage would be ok for a green cheek he would be out of it several hours a day. It wouldn't let me post the link but if you go to windycityparrot.com it's the prevue 117 also on the prevue websight. thanks alot I have gotten alot of conflicting info about it so wonering what your take on it is.

Answer
I have looked at the cage and I think its a bit small. It is a bit smaller than the recommended dimensions for a conure so I think a bit bigger would be great. Always buy the biggest you can afford. Even if he is out of the cage for 4 hours a day, he still has to spend the other 20 in a cage and if the cage is too small it wont be much fun for him. With all cages that you buy, its better to replace the perches with natural branches from fruit or willow trees that have been well cleaned. Its better to have branches of varying diameters to prevent arthritis of the feet in parrots. Good luck
