These smaller parrots are affordable, love to play and explore, love their human friends, and simultaneously love their independence.</p> <p>The Parakeet family includes subspecies such as Budgerigars, Indian Ringnecks, Monks, Rosellas, and more! Alexandrines are among the largest member of this diverse family.</p> <p>It's very important to select the right small or large Parakeet bird cage to maintain the health and happiness of your favorite feathered friend.</p> <p>For most smaller to medium 'keets, stick with <strong>bar spacing of no more than 1/2 inch</strong> and a <strong>minimum cage size of 18" (Width) x 18" (Depth) x 24" (Height)</strong>. Look for wider "flight" cages to give these birdies plenty of space to fly around for exercise.</p> <p>For the larger (and especially taller) Alexandrine and Ringneck Parakeets, suitable <strong>bar spacing ranges from 5/8 inch to 3/4 inch</strong>, and a <strong>minimum large Parakeet cage size of 24" (Width) x 24" (Depth) x 36" (Height)</strong> to accommodate their long tail feathers.</p> <p>Shop below from our top picks, keeping in mind whether your birdie is considered a smaller or larger Parakeet:</p> <!-- split --> <p>The carefully selected variety of enclosures by our team of experts shown above follow the exact rules for housing this unique bird.
