Is 3/4 inch good bar spacing for parrotlet?

Question

Is 3/4 inch good bar spacing for parrotlet?

Answer 1

No, it is WAY too wide.  Your parrotlet will either escape through the bars or become stuck in the space.  The largest recommended bar spacing for a parrotlet is 1/2 inch, mid-bar to mid-bar.  Even though many parrotlets cannot get their heads stuck in 5/8 inch spacing that is just wide enough that they can't grip the bars tightly.  Since parrotlets tend to be rather athletic, including walking on the ceilings of their cages, a 5/8 inch spacing is just wide enough to cause a lot of falls.  For the safety of your parrotlet, please use a cage with bar spacing no wider than 1/2 inch.

Answer 2

As long as they can not get their head through the bars,if to small they could get their toes or feet stuck and rip them off.
