Is the shape of my parakeet's cage important?
Width is more important for a parakeet cage than height. Parakeets fly back and forth rather than up and down. In a tall cage, parakeets tend to stay at the top of the cage as they like to be up high for safety so all of the room below them is wasted space. Avoid round cages - a parakeet feels safest with one side of the cage against a wall.
