Roost size is variable, many different opinions and preferences....per keepers and birds.
How wide(actually) is the roost they have?
You can try using the one you have and just raise it up.
Make sure the edges are smoothed out and not sharp.
From observing my birds:
Some birds had some trouble navigating the 2x2(actually 1.75 x 1.5) that I had for a nest perch.
When I changed it out to a 2x4(actually 3.5 x 1.5) wide side up, they were very obviously way more comfortable with it.
Some of my birds roost on the 2x2 edge of the roost board, some roost on the board itself, some use the 2x4 wide side up roosts.
So my preference has become 2x4 wide side up for full grown birds....
....I also feel it protects their feet better during the frigid winter weather we usually get.
