I have a tiel and am considering getting it a new buddy for its cage for when school starts again so its not lonely.

Answer 1

whats a tiel? ive never heard of such a bird before. the cage is a little small for a cockatiel if that is what you mean

Answer 2

yes they will fit but will they be comfortable or happy NO. DONT PUT THEM IN THAT CAGE, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE LOCKED IN A TINY BATHROOM.

GET A BIGGER CAGE AND IF YOU CANT AFFORD ONE THEN DONT BOTHER GETTING ANOTHER TIEL.

I JUST HOPE THAT ISNT THE CAGE YOUR TIEL LIVES IN...

BY THE WAY MY  TINY PARROTLET WHO IS 4INCHES LONG(SO MUCH SMALLER THAN A TIEL) LIVES IN A COCKATIEL CAGE WITH THE MEASUREMENTS OF: 20X20X29

even my 2 canaries have a huge cage much bigger than that

Answer 3

NO absolutely NOT do you know how big a cockatiel is? its a medium sized bird. and that cage is probably best for a zebra finch.( NOTE: sorry if i sound a little rude)

Answer 4

no absolutely not

Answer 5

The recommended cage size for a sinle tiel is 20 x 20 x 30, and should be doubled for 2.

If your tiels spend several hours a day out of the cage getting plenty of time to stretch their wings slightly smaller (18 x 18 x 27 for a single bird) is acceptable.

2 tiels sharing a cage are going to bicker, just as 2 siblings do when sharing a room. Problem is of course that tiels have claws and beaks and will use them to defend their home.

Even tiels who are the best of buds 99% of the time will have an occasional fight, and when they don't have the space to get away from each other injuries are often the result.

Fighting aside, if kept in a small cage the risk of broken blood feathers is also a big concern.

You really do need a bigger cage than the one mentioned, but if it's not in your budget at the moment, hold off on getting your tiel a buddy until you can give them the space they need.
