Question
Hello I am wondering about minimum cage size for peach faced lovebirds, right now i have three in a 18x18x20 cage adn 3 in a 24x14x18 cage all are let out for an hour every morning...but I think this is a bit too small..... I know they run aroung the cge and swing/hang from perhcea alot tehy are very active birds I have the option to buy a 20x20x24ish cage for the three in the smaller cage tomarow.

Answer
The cage they are in is fine, but of course bigger is always better. If you are planning on breeding them I would go ahead and purchase the bigger cage. As long as the birds can move around the cage, flap their wings, and not touch the sides you are ok.
