Which BYC member scares you?

[Karasu]

So there's hope!

My three pairs got along great. Until they didn't. I think it's still possible as long as you have an aviary, not a flight cage, and don't accidentally get a crippled pair like I did.

I'm down to just one pair right now and I have no issues with them.

What's a flight cage versus an aviary?

I just saw your cage. There's no way the bar spacing would work for anything smaller than a conure, unfortunately. That would be a flight cage; an aviary would usually be something you could walk into, or otherwise is substantially larger than what you have.

How big is the cage, and what exactly is the bar spacing?
I think a cockatiel or a conure (maybe a Green Cheek) might be a good choice.

Bars are an inch apart. I'm guessing that's too far apart for zebra finches. They're pretty small.

Anything bigger than a half inch is a for finches/budgies.

Honestly, a whole inch is pretty excessive for all but the larger parrot species. My GCC has a .6" bar spacing which seems pretty appropriate. You don't want to end up with a broken neck on your bird or any of the other host of accidents that can happen.
