Question Cage Question...

Since we're thinking of adding another cockatiel, I was wondering how large a cage should be to hold two cockatiels? I do know about quarantine, and the fact that they may not get along, and need to be in 2 different cages. Ideally, I'd like to have them together, and was wondering if my cage is large enough?

Thanks!!

I would go no smaller than a 24"x24"x24" cage, larger if possible. Keep the bar spacing from 1/2" to 5/8".

Depends on how much they get out - if not much than get as big as you can possibly afford.
