Box Perch Size

[pigeonman007]

Hi all

A canary breeding friend of mine has offered me 8 of his canary breeding cages as he is packing up.

The cages are made from 9mm ply and are app 54" long x 15" tall x 12" deep. and are divided in 3. If I left them as is that would give an individual box perch of around 18" x 15" x 12". They have draw out trays at the bottom and I could put 1"x1" mesh risen on a frame over the draw out trays. Question really is would this be to big for a box perch. I can modify them if need be, but was hoping to get away without doing to much to them lol

normally about 12" square, so cant see it being a problem  :-/

If youve got plenty of room in your loft can't see it being a problem,would make good hen boxes if you fly widowhood .

Too wide in my opinion. If you used them for youngsters, they could be divided again....9" wide, have used this width before, no probs.
