cage size?

We're gonna get a TAG and we have some kind of problem with cages... What is the minimun cage size for TAG? I've got cage what is 100 x 60 x 90 cm, is that too small if bird is in its cage only at nights? It will get a larger cage probably on next summer... I hope that you would give me the answer quickly!! :D

Sanni:

The cage size is fine IF the cage bars aren't too far apart. TAGs aren't very large and you have to be sure that they cannot get their heads between the bars. I assume that you were giving me inside dimensions and not over all dimensions of your cage size.

THE OUTLAW

If the dimensions you gave are of the cage itself, it should be big enough for a TAG or CAG.

If I'm doing this right a 100 cm x 60 cm x 90 cm cage area
converts to:

39" x 24" x 35" (rounded up, or down, to nearest inch)

as long as the cage area is Taller than it is wide, that is a very
decent size for a tag's cage. You probably won't need to buy a bigger one.
If you want a cage just for sleeping, then I would go smaller. But I'm not one to advocate 'sleeping cages' unless there is a good reason for them...

ok ;) ofcourse the cage is birds home and it's a place where bird can eat and be there sometimes when nobody isn't at home to look after the parrot. It's just a temporary cage before we get a bigger one. Don't mind if my bad english.... :D
